HBO fumbled soooo hard with ‘The Last of Us’ season 2
Holy. Cringe.
Agree! It’s mostly a joke these days though.
Graduation ceremonies from college should be eliminated.
Sorry but you haven’t done anything yet. 🤷♂️
Graduating college is not an accomplishment. Congrats, you finished 4 years of being a selfish consumer.
You’ve still accomplished nothing.
3 plates…I’m not there yet though. Just a dream
Benching 315 is a lot different than benching 300.

I’ve found that habitualizing a healthy process and basically ignoring it works better than ‘embracing the process.’

I spent 12 hours reading and pondering over a (very well-written) biography on Harry Truman. At the end of it, I formed my own opinion that Harry was ultimately a narcissist, and that drove many of his opinions and decisions.
I then used AI to see if it could confirm this idea.
Short story, I came to the completely wrong conclusion, and was incredibly humbled by the real, data-based, sound logic argument presented to the contrary (in about 20 seconds).
We live in unbelievable times.
Most academics search for and cherry-pick the data supporting the truth they want to believe.
You can’t desire truth into reality.

Everyone should study heuristics to be able to better account for them.
Mental shortcuts are terrible for long-term strategy decisions, and usually negatively impact rapid, tactical decision making.
Deep thoughts with Rob:
Truth, though absolute, can often be unsettling in its implications.
For this, many people have zero desire to discern reality in the context of what is obviously true.
And for this, it’s even more important to weigh the above implications by conscience/morality rooted in experience, studying of history, and disciplined empathy.
True or False: Truth exists.

Understanding ₿ is empirically proportional to testosterone levels and general manliness. Most women and effeminate men just don’t get it / don’t care.
Obvious exceptions exist, but as a general rule, it’s become shockingly evident.
