@smithhmackenzie myfitnesspal?

I believe everyone needs experience tracking their food It doesn't have to be forever But it's important to learn about portion sizes, macro content, and ingredients Having a solid understanding of what your body needs can carry you through the rest of your life

@kritikatwtss Unrelated. Learning is cheap, education is expensive.

My father's salary was Rs. 20,000 when he enrolled me in the most costly and prestigious school in my district. He just cared that I had an excellent education. The motivation behind all of these is my father.

Jobs, Bezos, Musk... Three titans. One core belief. THREAD: The Japanese philosophy of "Kodawari" - Great minds think alike.

Keep portfolio drawdown as low as possible. Loses work Geometrically against you.

"The Efficient Markets Hypothesis fails because humans are herd animals, not independent rational actors. Thus the best investors tend to be antisocial and contrarian." @naval As more and more money goes to passive funds, the margin for successful active investors will expand.

@pavanraju023 @paulg here is a link to his essay on this. hope it helps. paulgraham.com/think.html

@paulg Can you elaborate in one of your essays please? I’m curious to understand, with examples of what “independent-mindedness” means to you. Huge fan btw

The Covid-19 epidemic served as a natural experiment to measure the prevalence of independent-mindedness. I had low expectations, but it turned out to be even rarer than I thought.

Fun is fuel. There’s a reason creators like Ali Abdaal recommend fun-based productivity: if you’re enjoying it, you think better, work better, create more.

Languages are Lindy. Every additional period of survival implies a longer remaining life expectancy. 97% people speak 4% languages.

@fermatslibrary It is the atomic hypothesis: that all things are made of atoms – little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another.

Adapting Feynman's thought experiment: If a cataclysm destroyed all of scientific knowledge and only one tweet passed on to the next generation of creatures, what tweet would contain the most information?

Love is what remains when all other emotions are gone.

@naval, Happy Teachers' Day! You're an exceptional teacher. Your contribution to the community has singularly shaped my values & morals. I am > I was. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you so much! 🙏

@sarjanshah If the argument from the other side relies on this very failing facade to advocate Socialism - rebundled Democratic Socialism, does it still remain a facade?

#Democracy is the facade we need to justify #Capitalism. Since the facade is failing, the structure is at risk.

@TheChuChu_ @naval That he's not doing enough to bring life sooner into his fantasy idea of creating the successor to the one laptop project. I wish he'd take up more challenging missions - alongside or in place of - and so, set an aspirational hourly rate for himself.

Let's go to the dark side. What do you think @naval is wrong about? What do you dislike about @naval?

@nickresponsefor @CrazyPolymath Hey Kunal, Nick seems to have a point.

@CrazyPolymath i think u dont understand 'what is procrastination' completely dont allow yourself to do anything means dont allow yourself procrastinate

When you are procrastinating from a scheduled task in hand, do this: Procrastinate. BUT, don't allow yourself to do *anything* else either. You will eventually get bored and do the work instead.

@chesliny @wolfejosh @CiPrep Good work Josh! Thanks for trying to fix the broken.
