I'm going through the retatrutide phase 3 data, and the cardiometabolic numbers are more interesting than the weight loss: - 24.1 cm off the waist on 12mg (9.5 inches) - significant drops in systolic blood pressure - triglycerides down - non-HDL cholesterol down - hsCRP down (a key marker of inflammation) I'm giving it a few years before people realize GLP-1s are more than just weight loss drugs.

I have a friend who disappeared for years and came back crushing it. Didn't say a word to anyone about his plans. Still no clue what happened. I loved it. Something so cool about growth in silence. Working without validation. Normalize not telling anyone what's coming for you.

Mike Tyson on discipline: "The best way to receive discipline is to do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. You do that, that's discipline."

"I'm too tired to exercise" Dude, you need to exercise to stop feeling tired.

You don't need to succeed overnight Just focus on becoming 1% better every day The effect of small habits compound over time Remember that

Everyone needs to read this... Black Coffee Theory (a visual thread)

Proof that 99% of what we worry about never actually happens.

A few months back, I published this guide on how to remember everything you read. Re-sharing it here for anyone who finds these protocols useful. (1/11)

A Stanford mathematician spent 40 years watching brilliant students fail at hard problems. Not because they were stupid. Because nobody taught them what to do before they started solving. His name is George Pólya. His 1945 book has sold over a million copies and never gone out of print. Marvin Minsky, the man who built the first neural network machine at MIT, said publicly that everyone should read it. Most people have never heard of it. The failure Pólya watched repeat itself for four decades was always the same. A problem appears. The student feels anxiety. They immediately start calculating. Not because calculating was the right move. Because it felt better than sitting with not knowing. The calculation was almost always wrong. Not from lack of skill. From lack of understanding what was actually being asked. He called it the most neglected step in all of problem solving. Step one is to understand the problem. Not skim it. Not assume you've seen something similar. Actually understand it. His filter was one question: can you restate the problem in your own words without looking at it? If you can't, you haven't understood it. You've only read it. Most people skip this and spend hours stuck on a problem they never actually understood. Step two is to make a plan. Not execute. Plan. The pattern Pólya saw in every successful problem solver was the same. When something feels impossible, find a simpler version and solve that first. Not because the simpler version is the goal. Because it gives you a method you can carry back. He phrased it once with precision: if you cannot solve the proposed problem, try to solve a related one. That question alone is worth more than most problem-solving courses ever taught. Step three is to execute. Everyone thinks this is the whole game. It is the third of four steps. Pólya spent the least time on it because it is the most obvious. Once you understand and have a plan, execution is mostly patience. Step four is the one almost nobody does. Look back. Not to check the arithmetic. To ask: can I verify this with a different method? Can I use this method somewhere else? What would I do differently? This is where the real learning lives. Every expert Pólya studied had this habit. Every struggling student skipped from the answer to the next question, carrying nothing forward, starting from zero every single time. His deepest insight was not a technique. It was a diagnosis. Intelligent people feel bad at problem solving because they confuse reading a problem with understanding it. They confuse starting to work with having a method. They confuse getting an answer with having learned anything. These are not the same things. The students who get genuinely good at hard problems are not the ones who practice more. They are the ones who slow down at the two moments every instinct tells them to rush. The beginning and the end. The problem was almost never as hard as it looked. They just hadn't understood it yet.

Jingdezhen shows what happens when a civilization takes one craft seriously for centuries. For more than 1,700 years, this city shaped porcelain so fine that it crossed courts, oceans, dining rooms, and trade routes. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, its kilns served imperial taste and exported huge amounts of porcelain to Europe. A cup was never just a cup. It carried China’s technical skill and visual taste across the world.

I am fortunate that my current manager guides me through these nuances of leadership. He also introduced me to the book "The Manager's Path" by Camille Fournier that talks about progression to through the engineer leadership ladder (I highly recommend this). While going through it, I zeroed-in on one idea from every chapter which I always keep handy for quick reference. Here it is (from my Obsidian vault):

until death, all defeat is psychological

Your entire life will change when you realize that nobody is thinking about you. I often wonder how many extraordinary people waste their entire lives fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about them in the first place. Fearing a spotlight that was never even on. Performing for an audience that was never even there. Because the truth is that you aren't afraid of failure. Not really. You're afraid of other people seeing you fail. You're afraid of what other people will think of you if you fail. But nobody is thinking about you. Everybody is too busy thinking about themselves. So, that thing you've always wanted to do? Go do it.

@Manifest_Lord Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) talks about 内關 (Nei Guan) long before this Japanese researcher was born This is the visual written in Chinese. You can ask Google to translate the image into English 👇

Japanese researchers found that pressing a specific point on your wrist for 60 seconds before sleep reduces cortisol by 34% and cuts the time to fall asleep in half. It's been used in Japanese hospitals for 40 years. It was never introduced to Western medicine. Read till end 🪡

@AlexanBOOP @neetcode1 Too much greed has never boded well in long terms.

@Nagsp21 @neetcode1 Rich folk want to own the earth for themselves. They don’t want to share the planet with a populace. The faster you can understand that, the faster you can secure a spot in a world where the rich are getting rid of the commonfolk.

So he’s saying Microsoft will be dead? Idk why no one ever talks about the second order effects of anything
