Aspiring polymath. I build systems and I know things.

it's fun to see all the different languages people are implementing DNS in a Weekend in (implement-dns.wizardzines.com) -- so far I've seen C#, Rust, Kotlin, Clojure, Golang, Elixir, Typescript, and Python github.com/search?q=dns%2…

You risk-averse sheep want the government to do everything for you. We intend to disrupt everything. Money, banking, tech, the very idea of business, all of it is on the table for us, the risk-takers. (disruption occurs) Fuck oh fuck. Fuck. Somebody do something. Fuck.

Every time I drop my reading habit I notice a gradual decline in quality of life. Thoughts get jumbled, ideas stop flowing, and life loses its spark. Because it's a gradual decline, it's hard to make the connection that a small reading habit can make such a big impact.

Normalize not having an opinion on things you don’t understand.

The amazing thing about these misogynist self help gurus like Andrew Tate, or even Jordan Peterson, is how obvious it is that they are deeply unhappy people. It is a dead end ideology, even if you get everything you want you'll remain bitter, insecure, and hateful.

The greatest trap of the 21st century is closed mindedness. Signs of the closed minded: - Intentionally misses the point - Expects life to be a certain way - Reads literally, not metaphorically - Interprets from a selfish perspective - Assumes meaning without experience Avoid.
