one of the reasons i’m drawn to design, i think, is because the best & truest design of a thing is always smarter than i am.
and so, to glimpse that truth, i’m often forced to first accept that i know nothing, that i’m an idiot.
and then i may proceed, with grace, at peace.

I cannot explain to you the fundamentals of physics, or chemistry, or biology. My memory for names, dates, and details is so bad I’d be the worst witness at a trial. Following mathematical proofs exhausts me. My wit is plodding; I can’t think on my feet. I use 100 lines when one would do, because the right words elude me. My mind jumps around like a cricket, unable to enjoy the perfectly good leaf it’s on. I rarely have conviction. When I do, it's only a matter of time before I'm proven wrong. Multi-tasking feels like an arcane skill. I have every intent to follow up on all my texts and messages but rarely do. With kids, I lecture too much and listen too little. With adults, I listen too much and contribute too little. My prediction algorithm is eroding. My taste is out of date. My judgment is continually upended. And yet the world keeps spinning, glittering in its marvels.

the more i introspect and reflect on this the more it feels directionally accurate

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen says the greatest founders in history had zero introspection. Henry Ford. Thomas Jefferson. Alexander the Great. Sam Walton never woke up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up wanting to build another Walmart. That was it. None of the builders Andreessen studies sat around doing "the work" on themselves. "It never would have occurred to anybody to be introspective," Andreessen says. Then Vienna happened. Between 1910 and 1920, Freud's circle exported a new model of the self. The individual was now supposed to: - Dwell on the past forever - Criticize its own impulses - Feel guilt for wanting things - Second-guess every decision A hundred years later, Andreessen sees the model break founders in real time. "These guys get under pressure, and somebody tells them about psychedelics, and they try it. They come out the other end as a changed person, much more at peace. But then they also tend to quit their companies. And they move to Indonesia and become a surf instructor." He complained to Andrew Huberman about it. Huberman, "in true wise-Yoda style": "Well, how do you know they're not happier?" Andreessen: "Yeah, but their company is failing." Daniel Ek has reached the same conclusion: "The best entrepreneurs are not optimizing for happiness, they're optimizing for impact." Andreessen's own operating rule: "Zero. As little as possible. Move forward. Go ... People who dwell in the past get stuck in the past." Where has "doing the work on yourself" quietly replaced doing the work?
