I have worked with people who lean pessimistic.
What stands out about them is not their negativity but their precision.
They catch mistakes before they happen.
They anticipate failures long before anyone else even thinks of them.
Their work is often immaculate because their mind is always scanning for what could go wrong.
It is a skill worth admiring.
But the same mindset that protects their work often punishes their life.
The constant vigilance drains them.
Every day feels heavy.
And when you suffer that much through the process, you start desiring the outcome to justify your pain.
So if the result falls short, the disappointment hits harder.
Resentment grows faster.
The comparison with others becomes louder.
Not because they are bad people but because their inner cost was simply too high.
On the other end are the optimists.
They carry a strange lightness.
They don’t obsess over every detail.
They carry an irrational confidence that somehow things will work out.
Their work is rarely perfect, but their days seem easier.
They don’t demand the outcome to compensate them for the journey because the journey didn’t drain them in the first place.
Even when things don’t go their way, they bounce back because they were never emotionally over-leveraged.
Over time, I’ve come to notice a simple pattern.
Pessimists often create flawless work but suffer through the process.
Optimists often create imperfect work but enjoy the process.
Neither is right or wrong.
It is simply a choice of what you are willing to trade:
Perfection or peace.

Absolutely brutal.
This is what happens when you drink your own kool-aide too long.

After cutting Cole Strange today, only punt returner/slot corner Marcus Jones remains on the Patriots roster from the 2022 draft class.

The Agricultural Revolution worked out great for us, but it sucked for people at the time, who had to work much harder than their nomadic ancestors, with more diseases.
The Industrial Revolution worked out great for us, but it sucked for people at the time, who worked grueling factory jobs and slept in filthy tenements, a downgrade from their ancestors’ lives on the farm.
It makes you think…
With all our anxiety and loneliness and polarization and institutional decay, are we the people living during the Digital Revolution, who it sucks for, before it eventually becomes a net positive for people of the future?
Should we be worried that we’re also the people who will live through an AI Revolution that’s just getting started?

Hey everyone - bit of bad news for the start of the Auction Brief this summer.
I’ve never missed a show or been late once in 4 years of doing it, but that will end this week.
Two weeks ago I picked up a nasty upper respiratory infection. It was a painstaking recovery and was just feeling better early this week.
Unfortunately I was at docket today and had to leave after experiencing some alarming symptoms that I hope is simply the flu. I say ‘simply’, but I’m extremely sick with a high fever and the show will have to be put on hold until I can recover. I’m hoping that’s soon, but it will happen when my body allows.
Thanks for your understanding.

@connorrolain Without growth, the revenue/profit is not keeping up with inflation, so in practice the business is getting smaller, albeit slowly.
English

why has growth become so fetishized?
many businesses don't need to grow...
what's wrong with a lean business that's doing $25m top line in the last 5 years at 10-20% profit? that's a great business.
top line revenue isn't growing.
bottom line profit isn't growing.
but money in the bank is...year after year after year.
that business may have dropped bottom line to 0%-5% if they tried to scale to $50m.
there are a million and one reasons some businesses can't scale past certain revenue thresholds and maintain profitability.

@SalVetriDFS Fantasy football is the most important thing in your life. The outcome of your weekly matchup should dictate your mood in all aspects of life for the rest of the week. This is the way.

@JakobSanderson Top two tiers spot on. But Egbuka in TB is such a disastrous landing spot. I’d at least bump him into the Golden tier.
