Won a handwriting competition back in school at age 10. Let that go to my head and things have gone steadily downhill since

@aakashgupta Theoretically, when you move wouldn't the probability of experiencing unlucky events also increase, for the same reasons?

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@WalshFreedom They should invent a political system where the rest of the world gets to impeach a country’s president

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.

Hi @HDFCLIFE there's a scam happening right now and I'm trying to reach out to you to report it. I'm stuck between voice messages and AI assistant on whatsapp. Are there any humans I can talk to? I'm sure the reply to this message will be automated.

My policy on new resolutions in 2026 is this: I am not making any resolutions this year, I am letting the year make the resolutions. Am lumping the responsibility completely on 2026 - you do the work, you be a good year
