I'm seeking a young person to mentor. The last time I tried this experiment on X, I met my current mentee, @schasemcgee. Chase will reach $1M+ in recurring revenue this year at the age of 22, just 18 months after I helped him start his business. Here's how it works: - A mentorship is, to me, an expression of love for humanity. It costs you nothing, and by the time we're finished, you will be financially independent. If we do this right, it will not only set you up, but also your future family. - About me: I'm a self-made entrepreneur, currently CEO of an SEO agency. In my 20s, I sold several businesses, and today I get to work in an area that is highly interesting to me. I live in the NY Metro area, and am married with a young child. Fatherhood is the greatest source of meaning to me. Most of my philanthropy centers around helping children improve their emotional health. - The benefit I get from mentorship is the feeling of helping a young person become greater than they ever thought they could be. I always wanted a mentor when I was young and didn't have one. Doing this for someone is healing -- and hope-giving -- for me. - You must be smart, hard-working, and have a can-do attitude. You should recognize the opportunity in front of you and do everything in your power to maximize it. You should have some appetite for risk. You should be a strong communicator, both written and verbal. - If we get to know each other and it feels like a good fit, I will guide you through finding a business idea, starting a website, conceiving of your product, delivering that product, and dealing with the emotional complexities of the first few months of a new business. We'll touch base as often as you need, with a weekly call and daily texts. - If you’re interested in being mentored, send me a DM here on X and tell me a bit more about yourself. I don’t care about your credentials as much as your attitude, values, and work ethic.

@JJ_McCullough The biggest problem with the modern iPhone is the keyboard. It is difficult to write what you want to say quickly. There is no AI built into keyboards to help you communicate quickly.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 15 to 17 and I see like, zero meaningful difference. It’s actually kind of hard for me to imagine what a smartphone could even DO better at this point. They can’t get any faster, the screen is crystal clear… Have we reached a phone plateau?

@Politas180 @modrinth @CurseForge @PlanetMinecraft Hi I would like to work with you on a mod. Can you DM me?

📂 Download the "Better Crafter" here: CurseForge: curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-m… It's compatible with JEI/REI and works on Fabric 1.21.1. RTs appreciated! 🔄 @modrinth @CurseForge @PlanetMinecraft

I got tired of the vanilla Crafter mess in Minecraft 1.21, so I coded my own. 🧶 Recipe Locking (Ghost Slots) ⚡ Auto-Crafting (No Redstone needed) 📦 Internal Buffer (No laggy drops) It’s finally finished. Here is how it works: 👇 #Minecraft #Fabric #MinecraftModding

@ShinKiro14 @MindMatterMoney @chainyoda What he suggested pairs excellently with therapy, but if you want to get rid of the depression, you still need the therapy!

@MindMatterMoney @chainyoda men: do anything but go to therapy in your defense, the therapist’s office requires leaving the house, so there’s that

After 37 years of age as a man, I’ve finally come to realize that the only cure to depression is just leaving the house at every single possible opportunity no matter how badly you don’t want to.

@Mikethejohnson @JonhernandezIA That’s a good point. But perhaps AI can accomplish the same by mimicking human voices?

@JonhernandezIA This assumes that the goal of call centers is to satisfy the needs of the customers. in reality these are buffers and black holes to keep consumers from having a voice.

📁 Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer of AI, warns that workers who lose their jobs may have nowhere to go because AI will perform any task humans can. He notes that roles like call center agents will vanish since AI will do their work better, faster and cheaper. He says the employment impact will be severe and hard to absorb.

@M921ob45895 @RedWave_Press It’s definitely not too late. If you’re mentally and financially stable and are willing to be a good father, there are women who would be happy to be with you.

I didn’t have kids when I was young. I joined the Marines and did a deployment to Afghanistan. I’ve been so mentally fucked up since then that I can’t hold a serious relationship and didn’t want to bring a kid into this world while I was in that condition. Now I’m 43 and have pulled out of it and would like to start a family but I think it might be too late

Scott Galloway: “If a man hasn’t married a woman by the time he’s 30. There’s a 1 in 3 chance he’s going to be a substance abuser.” Bill Maher: “Hey! I am not… a substance abuser, okay?” Scott Galloway: “Men need relationships more than women.” Bill Maher: “Right, but not everyone has to be that kind of relationship… There are a lot of people who don’t procreate anymore, and we’re not second-class citizens… Can I not be a man because I didn’t make a baby with a lady.” Scott Galloway: “Kids aren’t for everybody.”

@MattWalshBlog The truth is that good therapy is life-changing, but good therapists are rare. Sadly, most people would not know what a good therapist looks like, nor be able to afford them. I still hold out hope that those who really wish to evolve will still seek out excellent therapists.

The problem with all therapy is that the effectiveness of the therapy depends entirely on whether the therapist possesses deep personal wisdom and insight. A therapist is not a doctor treating a medical disorder. A therapist is there to deal with problems of the mind and spirit. Only those with great wisdom can do that. And a huge number of therapists have the wisdom and insight of a puddle. For millennia, people consulted the elders in their families and villages for wisdom. Now we turn to some random 29 year old woman with a degree in social work who has far less life experience than most of the people she's advising. It's absurd.

@naomieppsbest One workaround is to seek an older therapist who hasn't been indoctrinated in this way in the same way that many people turned to pre-2020 movies to avoid wokeness in post-Covid era.

Your therapist is probably introducing you beginning with your race, gender, sexuality, class etc in group supervision. It informs other therapists' interpretation of you, your diagnosis, and treatment suggestions. I've sat through this and thought you should know that.

@FinlayPacks @StokeyyG2 Taking the spirit of the original question into account, I'd argue that, while Nigel is the clear GOAT, he's not miles better than Mack.

@StokeyyG2 Nigel Richards in scrabble. (Won the English, French and Spanish world championships) They only know he doesn't cheat because he's better than the engines !

Who is the actual goat of their sport? Like no one comes anywhere near 2nd to the first guy

@elonmusk I will do it. My concept is to feature a different hard-hitting issue of cultural significance each episode and have two people on different sides of the issue disagree respectfully and curiously and hash out the issue together, modeling something our society badly needs.

Anyone want to create a hard-hitting show on 𝕏 called 69 Minutes? I will actually fund it!

I feel the same. ChatGPT functions better than Google at basic research (eg definitions and comparisons) because it's conversational, so that's one use case. It can also code simple widgets like a "what time is it in X city" generator. But I wouldn't use it to write anything for me unless I had a need for generic-sounding text.

I feel like I am 'supposed to be' excited by all the advancements in AI, yet I find myself completely unenthused by this technology.

@ShamikDasgupta1 @DrJBhattacharya Are there big things Jay got wrong? I read a few in legacy news outlets but can't be sure if they were being honest.

Dr Jay B is a very good pick imo. I see critics pointing at things he got wrong. Yes. Everyone got some things wrong. But overall he was much more right than most. Plus he is data driven, honest, and against politicization of science. So, a big improvement! @DrJBhattacharya

@txsalth2o @DrJBhattacharya @MartyMakary @brownstoneinst @jeffreytucker YES

@NahasNewman @DrJBhattacharya WOW this is amazing news for the country!! To think, he was a fringe epidemiologist just a few short years ago!

Congratulations @DrJBhattacharya! The nation is blessed he accepted the call to serve. Jay has a diamond sharp mind & a heart of gold And an amazing personal story: his mom is from the slums of Kolkata & Jay grew up in public housing in MA. Oh happy day!

@txsalth2o @ChrisPalmerMD This is interesting. Could you please give more specifics about which foods caused the hyperactivity and what changes you made to the food you feed your family?

@ChrisPalmerMD I've seen this firsthand with my son. Many experiments with food in our home, seeing what affects his behavior. Modifying my diet has been a game-changer for both of my children.

Can food additives play a role in hyperactivity? This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial suggested yes... way back in 2007. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

I believe it needs to start with an admission that Covid policy was not evidence-based, but propaganda, and that it did more harm than good; as well as an apology. Millions of us wouldn't trust the CDC's advice in an emergency anymore, even if it were correct. But perhaps we could if they corrected the record and said they were sorry.

After abandoning evidence based medicine and fundamental public health principles during Covid, much effort is needed to restore integrity and trust in NIH, CDC, FDA and the scientific community.

That's the #1 thing on my mind this morning - that progressives chose to mask young children for years when the masks had no impact on Covid and Covid was no danger to those kids. You can tell a lot about a group by the way it treats its young. Dehumanizing children purely for symbolic purposes was unforgettable.

Two years of fighting against forced masking and experimental vaccination, followed by fighting against insane gender ideology. This is vindication! We can never recover the precious years our children will never get back, but today is a glorious day. Thank God! #Trump2024

@txsalth2o I would attend a gathering like that if there's another one! Some awesome human beings there.

This is misleading advice in its current form. Thinking about your problems is your body's natural way of trying to find solutions. The issue is that dwelling on problems you don't know how to solve is highly stressful. But just pushing your problems out of your mind only keeps them hiding in your unconscious, which can cause illness. The ideal course of action is allowing yourself to worry about your problems long enough to seek out answers (often in talk therapy), but granting yourself the space to put those problems aside for periods of time while you're addressing them.
