This is going to be so outrageously bad for Donald Trump.
Joe Kent has a TON of support among Trump supporters and was literally a lot of people's single most trusted person in the Trump administration.
His words will carry very real weight.

@Merridew__ I hope that's true.
rateyourmusic.com top 10,000 records peak ratings are
1965-1971 with the other peak being mid 90s - early 00s.
early 2010s have some great records but nowhere near those two booms imo.

@drterrysimpson Salmon is heavily underrated for some reason. Almost like there's a distinct lack of industry shills in the salmon industry. I have wild caught 3 times a week.

I'd choose neither. Most don't need extra protein that has the same flavor as sawdust and tossed in with those ingredients they eschew when talking about other foods - but somehow say it is from "grass fed whey" it is ok. Why are "real food ingredients" now defined by the people who make them. Want a protein bar - try some salmon.

Which would you choose?

@signulll Most people truly aren’t built to handle the weight of it. They try to play a rigged game until it’s too late and they wake up 42 and either with delusions or regrets on their decisions.

if you read my posts on internet liquidity, this would not be a shock at all.
once markets have ~ infinite liquidity, everything turns into power law outcomes which results in casino odds for average ppl.

@majamediaco Any inner reflection can be productive or meaningful if forward motivated.
You're spot on with rumination - specifically the past stuck loops of depression/negative thoughts.
Athletes, high performers use introspection forward motivated all the time. Measure>Reflect>Better.
English
i think people are conflating introspection and rumination
introspection can produce insight, but rumination is introspection stuck in a loop
David Senra@davidsenra
Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

When is anyone ever going to first principles these guys to figure out what they truly understand?

I don't see any version of this where this is true.
I'm in elevators and every ceo imagines a world with low cost technicians augmented by AR/tech.
If the rest of the world is advanced enough it's automated, surely plumbers would be AR augmented to be dummy proof thus low wages

Uber Founder,Travis Kalanick: when everything is fully automated in the world , that “plumbers become LeBron”. Listen to this, he’s actually right.

@teodorio They're misusing the term introspection here to mean 'dwell on the past' or negative ideation.
Introspection can be forward looking and healthy.
In sports you're constantly measuring, assessing and figuring out next steps to be great. It's immensly introspective.

Community and permanent bonds are impossible to monetize.
Advertising and algorithms wants you to be hyper self focused and individuated/alone.
I define happiness in one way as lacking desire in the material. In a healthy relationship you just rarely have those cravings.

@benghazi_ebooks Nah this isn’t really true. It’s rare but there’s countless examples of people getting very fit in their 70s even 80s online. We shouldn’t discourage the ability to get fit at any age.
English
Getting in shape is another. If you don’t have a workout ethic before a certain age you aren’t magically getting one that’s why so many people just hurt and ache, and then can’t do anything after a certain point
Hyde 💨@BreatheLesss
I think the only "too late" thing you should be worried about, other than children, is making friends. You need a solid decade of shared experiences to have a deep bond with someone you aren't going to see much once you have a family.

@majamediaco Optionality seems to be at the point now that people are legitimately losing their most fertile years or even going into their 40s now single and delusional.
English
i think about this chart so often
partly rising standards and people wanting better for themselves (good)
but also the sense of endless optionality dating apps create, eroding the ability to compromise and resolve conflict, maybe the most important relationship metaskill

@Merridew__ I wouldn't go that far, but I see the macro thesis - similar to freakonomics crime theory.
What I'm not sure is how to outright replace the manosphere. Young men def are struggling.
English
@Merridew__ They all have clearly had childhood trauma that informed their hateful ideologies and narcicissm.
The dangerous thing is their young teenager male admirers get trapped in it even if they have a good healthy upbringing.

@NathanPVanDeman It’s an uphill battle. People are conditioned with thousands of messages anti-community. And it’s hard to know where to even find it. Lacking church many suggest activities like run clubs but even there things are generally limited to the activity.
Def still starts w/ proximity
English
@systemlayers Cities are full of takers, many neighborhoods too. real, rich communities are an ecosystem built by givers & contributors. People like to talk about urbanism and walkability as if design is a magic pill for a strong community, but the real magic is when ppl give and care.

Inconvenience but you gain… purpose and a sense of belonging. Two of the most important human aspirations. I gladly help good friends move, paint their house, etc.

Mikli@CryptoMikli
Bryan Johnson explains why cheat meal is the WORST idea in history “Food is the most complicated. Food is where we go to soothe ourselves, to do a kind of self therapy. Try to start by having a bit more of the good things for you and a few less of the bad things. Slowly work your way into it, because radical change is hard for a lot of people” “Have in the back of your mind a rule that you will never eat fast food ever again. None is better than some. The idea of a cheat meal is the worst idea in history. Don’t do cheat days, don’t do cheat meals, don’t do cheat weeks. Don’t cheat on anything”

@CaryKelly11 I eat a normal, mostly clean diet and exercise is more than enough to overcome pretty much any mild blues. If anything on keto I just had energy problems especially on big lifts.

Many who have suffered from depression and went low carb discovered profound improvements.
Now scientists have unwittingly given us a better explanation.
It’s an energy crisis.
After switching from glucose to ketones, it’s like a light switch comes on in our head and proper energy finally returns to our brain cells.

Been feeding my boredom with steady state cardio lately on the treadmill.
Still winter here and I feel beyond the struggle to walk at the same pace for an hour and half also builds mental willpower.
Often find myself problem solving as well.
CooperBaggs 💰🍞@edgaralandough
We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.
