Every time I’m about to level up I feel this heavy resistance.

A voice in my head telling me I’m not ready. Sudden fatigue. Self doubt. A strong desire to quit.

In psychology this is called the Upper Limit Problem. It’s when your own mind tries to drag you back down the moment you start rising.

Your nervous system doesn’t care if you’re thriving it wants predictability.

So the moment you try to step into something better, it panics and causes you to self sabotage.

Most people feel it and turn around. They call it burnout, or doubt, or say it “just wasn’t meant to be.”

But that panic isn’t a stop sign. It’s a threshold.

It’s the final test before change.

If you can recognize it for what it is and move through it you’ll find yourself in a new place.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Keep going.

Push through the resistance.

how can we help?

Only social media left on my phone is nostr 🫡

What happened?

“Vibe coding” seems a bit like musicians jamming. Fun to do, especially for the musicians, and can be useful for coming up with ideas; but eventually you’re going to need to commit to some ideas and abandon others and write some actual songs if you want people to keep listening to you.

the trick is to keep grinding even when most people think you are retarded

shen yun was excellent this year.

if you have the opportunity, SEIZE IT. 🙏🏼

you will not be disappointed.

Most folks don't love security theater & everyone has had a bad time at a screening checkpoint.

So, let's think for a second about hypothetical private-#TSA companies.

I'd expect them to gravitate towards AI-assigned individual risk ratings to minimize the cost of hiring & training people to interact with travelers.

To create ratings, I'd expect them to demand & consolidate invasive pools of our biometrics, web browsing, commenting, purchasing, movements & private lives.

Just don't call it a "social credit score"

You can bet they'll pivot to trying to monetize their data.

2026: We're a terminal security company

2029: We're a person rating company

Would these ratings make their way into other parts of our lives & things we want to visit?

And who exactly would stand up for us when the ratings are wrong? Or our data is shipped to foreign buyers.

Who holds #PrivateTSA companies accountable? The US doesn't have strong #privacy protections...

I'm also not optimistic about private sector security companies' ability to stop breaches. History backs me up here.

But I do expect that private-TSA companies could use lobbying to limit oversight & accountability.

That's been the history of other privacy-invasive tech companies.

So, as an airline security privatization conversation kicks off, remember that it can't just be "current thing is bad" but needs to consider what kind of future we're inviting in.

Tell me some useful information and I’ll zap you 615 sats.

I’ll determine if it’s useful or not lol 😂
