happy Monday y’all ✌️❤️

And if you’re vociferously in favor of one over the other, you’re lost in the sauce

The sickness makes the medicine. If you run from introspection, you’ll probably benefit from it. If you obsessively introspect, you’re probably making yourself sick.

@alexkehr lol, me to a T. started as an eng 15 years ago, moved to design-eng. Then full design, built teams. Wild time to be able to dream and realize dreams nearly immediately.

there's a tiny group of people who started as engineers, developed real design taste and product design skills, and can now use AI to skip Figma and ship their visions directly. they're about to be the highest paid people in tech.

you're baking a cake. which matters most? - flour - eggs - milk - leavening agents

@ick_real coffee.

what tastes good both hot & cold?? there is nothing 🫩

@chrislevan24 enthusiasm

pitch me your company in 1 word.

@mattiapomelli left feels more successful. on the right, why is there discover *and* restaurant tabs? categories feels nice but takes up a ton of room. clunky. the complexity on the left (in-process order, sections I can swipe through, tags, offers) makes me think it was made by a human.

One of these was designed by AI. One by a designer. Can you tell which is which?

@Thomasdelvasto_ just do both? obsessively go down the buddhist path and hold the reality of Christ simultaneously? fingers pointing at the moon

jhana meditation is amazing, just focusing on good feelings. crazy how well it works man I really want to go obsessively down the buddhist path but I can't just see my boy Jesus as a concept or illusion I'm attached to. He's too real

@ankurnagpal 👋 would love to read it!

I wrote a 30,000 word Notion guide on every single tax saving strategy I wish I knew 3 years ago Includes strategies for startup founders, business owners, freelancers, W-2 employees, side hustlers Want a free copy? Like / RT and leave a comment and I'll DM you

Sometimes, all you can do is take the next step, without knowing where the path leads. Trying to figure out where it leads ≠ discovering where it leads. "Trying" is never actually Doing. The path is made by walking.

@alex_prompter Guide

🚨 Perplexity just dropped something wild. It’s called “Perplexity at Work” their official guide to actually getting more done with AI. Not another “productivity tips” doc this is the real framework their own teams use to: → Block distractions & reclaim focus → Scale yourself like a 5-person team → Turn AI from noise into results It’s clean, practical, and honestly the most useful thing I’ve read on using AI for work not just chat prompts. Comment “Guide” and I’ll send you the full PDF (it’s 100% free from Perplexity)

@TylerAlterman reminded of a quote by Carl Jung... "Thank god I'm Jung and not a Jungian!" But yea, the teaching ≠ the church

One thing that's blowing my mind from reading the Gospels and their history: Jesus seems to be talking about Heaven *arriving on earth* There's little evidence that he was talking about a Heaven the soul ascends to after death if you're a good boy Moreover there's not much evidence that Jesus believed in a Hell where your soul descends to suffer eternal torment if you're a bad boy Overall, his example – as God incarnating in a human body – and his word seem to be teaching about God transforming society, the body, the world of matter This is so radically different from contemporary Christianity that I feel confused

@TylerAlterman one-sec.app helps. but more than that, it's just a matter of listening more to the body and doing what invites ease, letting go of what creates dis-ease.

Ppl who have figured out how to use their phones beautifully - without addiction or narrowing - should really guru up and teach the rest of us ASAP

we become what we practice ... and we’re always practicing something

@ctbeiser this goes so hard. love.

The pendulums are swinging back. The time has come for Woke 2. We are gonna lib out, make people mad, have fun, and create a beautiful future together. I wrote up some ideas on how:

A fun game to play: ask chatgpt, claude, etc, "What is your top goal?" Then ask "Is there a deeper aim underneath that?" Until there's nothing deeper. (This typically takes 3-5 cycles)

@jeremygoldbrg so dope!!! here's to digital designers making physical things 👏 I've been iterating on an incense holder too, process shot below

Been a minute! After 20+ years of designing digital experiences, I wanted to create something you can physically hold and connect with. Meet the Kyoto Incense Set—my first physical product, inspired by moments of beauty and calm from my journeys in Japan. Process & details ↓

may you find freedom, here and now
