This is so true. I lived this.
Functionally, my career as a "hedge fund guy" was over at 32. I built my ego around being a rising star, working at blue chip hedge funds, big bonuses, living the hedge fund lifestyle (fancy dinners, Hamptons share, brokers rolling out the red carpet).
A bad career decision, a few bad trades, and not only did my self identity shift from "rising star" to "damaged goods", but my nervous system was so shot that I couldn't even muster the energy for a comeback attempt.
I pulled the plug and moved my family from NYC to Arizona. I thought the change of scenery & lifestyle would be an immediate balm to the the angst I felt inside. Instead, things got dark, and really for the first time in my life, I struggled with depression.
My advice to anyone who peaks early is the criticality of a new dimension of purpose. For me, three young sons (at that point, 6, 4 & 6 months) and a loving & supportive wife were the critical elements that kept me on track, and got me back on track. And, in retrospect, the pain was the biggest gift I've ever received, as it drove a deep exploration of spirituality & the true architecture of the universe. I had time and space to explore questions I never had time to explore before, like "Who am I and why am I here?".

Any profession where people have decent odds of peaking early (i.e. 20s) can exact a big emotional toll on the unprepared. Professional athletes, hedge fund guys, etc.

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time. He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha. He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life." He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett. But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them. Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does. Enjoy!

@BlogdoNoblat Meu conceito de CEDO precisa ser reavaliado entao. Tipo eh CEDO pra falar que foi traido quando encontra sua mulher pelada com outro homem no quarto. #pas

É cedo para afirmar que a corrupção bateu à porta do STF e foi acolhida. A imoralidade, sim, bateu à porta e entrou. Pelo menos soa como imoralidade parentes de ministros poderem atuar em processos que tramitam em tribunais. Soa como imoralidade ministro relatar processo no qual está envolvido. Isso é muito grave e deve ser investigado a fundo. Há muitos órfãos da Lava Jato que querem pôr o Supremo a pique. Há uma direita extremista, e outra de fraque, que às vésperas das eleições, desejam submeter o Supremo a julgamento público, de preferência empurrando-o para o colo do governo Lula. Os Três Poderes são independentes. Cada um que responda por si.
Não se deixem enganar.

A exposição pública de conversas de cunho estritamente privado, desvinculadas de qualquer ilicitude, constitui uma gravíssima violação ao direito à intimidade e uma demonstração de barbárie institucional que transgride todos os limites impostos pelas leis e pela Constituição.
Na semana em que se comemora o Dia Internacional da Mulher, parece ainda mais grave a divulgação de tais diálogos, denotando a urgência de refletir sobre como a intimidade feminina é, historicamente, o alvo preferencial de tentativas de desmoralização e controle.
Ao permitir a publicação de diálogos íntimos de um casal, o Estado e seus agentes não apenas falham em seu dever de guarda, mas desrespeitam a legislação, que impõe categoricamente a inutilização de trechos que não interessam à persecução penal.
Esse cenário evidencia a necessidade inadiável da aprovação da LGPD Penal, garantindo que o tratamento de dados na esfera criminal não seja subvertido em ferramenta de opressão. Ao transformar o que deveria ser uma investigação técnica em um espetáculo e em um verdadeiro ato de linchamento moral, o sistema incorre em nítida afronta à dignidade humana e aos direitos fundamentais.

you decide to have a child. then all hell breaks loose. a helpless thing arrives and instantly you devote your existence to its wellbeing. you love harder than you knew possible. the sleepless nights and never ending needs strain you to break. doesn't matter. love only deepens. they mature and no matter what you do, they defy your plans. never did I imagine that i'd get a best friend and that it would be this good.

@gregoryblotnick Thank you brother. My issue with Pascal is that his belief in God seems more like a calculated move than genuine faith - like an robotic affection
English
@fgkajd that's the unanswerable question(s) you've arrived at
"good suffer, wicked prosper"...existence of evil...the death of a child...all the same topics men have been debating for thousands of years.
read Hesse - Siddartha
also, read Pascal article below:

this footage of Kuechly breaking down tape is so good
what appears as "greatness" is always the same behind the curtain: pattern recognition, borne from the compounded effects of daily discipline & obsession...in a dark room all alone.

@gregoryblotnick Will do. The role of spirituality in my life has been growing, but through non-theocentric religions like Buddhism. My struggle has been with the idea of an almighty God.
English
that's a damn good tweet
shows first and foremost that you're reading & thinking about the things that matter
and second that you're grappling with the same questions that have perplexed great thinkers since the beginning of time
this is one of the best quotes on the subject:
"A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." - Francis Bacon.
found that to be 100% true.
read Tolstoy's "A Confession"...it's not very long, and where he was, spiritually, when he wrote it...I suspect you are in a similar place and will get a lot out of it.

@gregoryblotnick The question is misplaced, I was reading another post. The more I read and study philosophy and human psicology, the harder it is for me to believe in god. Can you share any thoughts?
