Life’s objective to understand oneself & to improve the world is a path toward mental illness. On the other hand, life’s objective to understand the world & to improve oneself is path towards spirituality

@cubanheat Socially acceptable is still grey. As per that book, I can understand

What is natural to you is not natural to me and vice versa. What is natural anyways? Socially acceptable, I understand

Reasons to be optimistic

@grok I’m unable to upgrade to supergrok heavy. It seems the UPI based payment has limit in India. Also I’m not getting the option to pay using credit card

@sidin Ah! Insider’s scoop!

Within elite athletics circles this training is called “Miandad-ing”.

There is no substitute for the person who Knows What To Do.

@pmarca Life’s objective to understand oneself & to improve the world is a path toward mental illness

TLDR There is no inner self, you're chasing an imaginary concept, the end.

@nithinkd Its time. Lets get this started

I want I want. @cacofnix is not letting me make one. 😭

@rameshsrivats Yup, this is the way for viksit : Pure capitalism without bureaucracy raj

Clean India, I'll wait till 2047. No potholes, hmm, I'll wait till 2047. But T20 cricket: The one place where Viksit Bharat has already happened.

@TheFigen_ Shane lowry’s delight! 😊

Rory McIlroy’s 4-year-old daughter sinks a long putt and the crowd erupts.

Javier Milei has been president for less than 26 months in Argentina. Here is the record from economist Chris Lingle: Inflation rate: from 300% to 30% … Poverty rate: from 52% to 31% … Budget Deficit: from 15% to 0% … Public-sector debt: fell from $500 billion to $446 billion & is now 84.65% of GDP, down from 154.6% in 2023 … Country risk: from 3,000 to 487 … Central bank reserves: from $20 billion to $47 billion … ¡Motosierra! ... ¡Motosierra! ...

Futures trading turnover vs GDP (x) India: ~50–500× USA: ~2–3× Japan: ~4–7× S. Korea: ~5–10× Europe: ~1–1.5× China: ~1–2× India’s futures trading is unusually high

Indian stock market listed companies have abnormally high valuations as a multiple of their profits. There is some structural flaw. This seems to be like a step to fix the flaw

@VinayMutha1212 I invest in companies that can be run by fools, because sooner or later it will be 😀

Charlie Munger's humor was legendary [dry, brutal, zero BS]. A few gems : - 'I'd rather throw a viper down my shirt front than hire a compensation consultant.' - If you mix raisins with turds, they're still turds. - Every time you see EBITDA, substitute "bullshit earnings. - Envy is the only deadly sin that's no fun at all. Rest in wit, Charlie. Who’s your favorite?

@PathToManliness Its hard to analyse oneself, isn’t it

@animeshjain Paying users definitely help in the journey of finding purpose. Best wishes!

I am about to launch a new project - been working on it for the past 6-7 weeks. I've been so nervous about launching this one though. And I think I know why - if this project does not turn out commercially successful, I'll probably not find any joy in developing it. I've mostly done hobby projects - some of which have incidentally turned to businesses. So I've become comfortable not dealing with this commercial pressure. Time to get out of the comfort zone. Wish me luck.. I better find some paying users, before I find purpose🤭

@kevinnbass It feels like religious/spiritual of east is more closer to atheist of west. Personal journey of trying to search for discomforting answers in various texts and own experiences

As an atheist who has had the most difficult time with faith, one thing has become obvious to me: We replaced God and truth with personal aggrandizement and power, and that is the main reason for the crisis in the West.

@TheVikramMohan Also he seems like an entrepreneur saying - my product/service is so good that I don’t need sales. Unfortunately never works, need to own the sales process

Was going thru ARR's recent Hindi albums. Apart from a Chamkila, 99 songs, and Atrangi Re, all others were forgettable. Heropanti 2 is in the FFS.

@cubanheat Occupying a meeting room for work that requires long haul concentration is perhaps better. Cubicles can be hindrance toward productivity. But I guess it’s a client decision, not architect’s

@cacofnix I feel some people who are doing serious thinking work need cubicals. Also, I am assuming half of the population can’t work in noise/ever gazing eyes. To make it look good visually is a separate matter.
