</li></ul><p><b><br></b></p><p><b>some ideas I believe in and remind myself of</b><br></p><ul> <li>It’s rare for any stimulus to have a universal effect </li> <ul><li>science is a story of complexity, nuance, not of all or nothing</li></ul> </ul><ul> <li>you can improve your own baseline by 500x</li> <ul> <li>This goes for wealth, health, relationships, attitude</li> <li>note: you can do more than you think </li> </ul> </ul><ul> <li>internal anger ceases to exist when you f*** with who you are</li> <ul> <li>it’s not you against the world, it’s you accepting your current internal state</li> <li>don’t kill the part of you that is cringe. kill the part that cringes </li> </ul> </ul><ul> <li>human to human bottlenecks are communication constraints (written, spoken, nonverbal) </li> <ul><li>online communication tip: try to lean towards saying things online vs being shy to maximize serendipity </li></ul> </ul><ul> <li>MMORPGs like <a href="https://www.tibia.com/community/?name=wiggly+huff" target="_blank">Tibia</a> & RuneScape are training grounds for reality</li> <ul> <li>virtual effort will scale IRL </li> <li>Society has similar game mechanics that reward gamers 500x  </li> </ul> </ul><ul><li>stamina underrated > intelligence overrated</li></ul><ul> <li>give the NBA a chance (even if you hate sports)</li> <ul> <li>watching sports allows us mortals to observe world-outliers in a controlled environment w/o real stakes</li> <li>that's pretty cool b/c you can easily identify the top players & assume their level of obsession is beyond comprehension</li> <li>obsession is a key ingredient to accomplishing anything world-class </li> <ul> <li>pick a few teams to follow</li> <li>watch their entire games (don't just save yourself time by watching the final plays)</li> <li>this is how you'll internalize the nuance of <i>the ebbs & flows of one game </i> </li> <li>otherwise it's no different than skipping a great song to only get to the end <br> </li> </ul> </ul> </ul><ul> <li>work where other people can see your work </li> <ul> <li>Optimize for visibility and impact with your work</li> <li>Then learn how to make your impact shareable (write, post videos, collect emails)</li> <li>If you cannot build things you can show <i>at </i>work, you should build things you can show <i>outside of</i> work</li> </ul> </ul><ul> <li>be upfront with your intentions </li> <ul> <li>tell people what you intend vs asking for forgiveness after the fact</li> <li>worst case they tell you to not do it and you don’t do it</li> <ul><li>"Should I start a side hustle without my company knowing?"</li></ul> </ul> </ul><ul> <li>the web leaks alpha (health, wealth, relationship alpha)</li> <ul> <li>most people will read something that is alpha, disregard it as "crazy", and move on while calling that alpha a scam/lie</li> <li>you'll randomly stumble upon casual genius spilling knowledge for free<br> </li> <li>default to believing & investigating </li> </ul> </ul></div>]]> </content> <author> <name>Matt Jez</name> </author> </entry> </feed>
