Eddy Quan

My name is Eddy Quan. Like many people, I had a normal office job working 40-60 hours per week in a fluorescent lit cubicle. I sat on a bus for 90 minutes every morning in peak hour traffic so I could sit in a cubicle to look at Excel spreadsheets for 8 hours a day. I then spent another 90 minutes every afternoon commuting in peak hour traffic to get home. I found this routine to be highly Unenjoyable. It was hard to admit at first but the career I had spent my entire life preparing for was making me miserable. That all changed when I became a Professional Life Enjoyer. These days I enjoy simple things like taking royal afternoon naps, eating a few slices of cold watermelon on a hot day and reading books. I like to keep things simple. I hate complication. I make all of my income by posting on social media and writing daily emails. I enjoy what I do. My philosophy is simple: Do things you Enjoy and help others get more Enjoyment out of Life. The goal of this account is to show you how to get more Enjoyment out of life as much as humanly possible… To get you to stop doing the Unenjoyable things everyone tells you to do and start living the life you have always wanted. The life of a Professional Life Enjoyer. Some of the unique traits Professional Life Enjoyers value include Unfair Advantages, Unique Positioning, Courage, Consistency, Craftsmanship, High Level Skills, Freedom, Thinking, and Positivity above all else. Playing it safe, laziness, empty consumption, blind acceptance of societal rules and negativity are considered traits of the Life Non-Enjoyer and have no place in the world of the Professional Life Enjoyer. All it takes to become a Professional Life Enjoyer is a change of your mindset. If you can change the way you think, you will gain more Enjoyment out of life. There is only one rule: Enjoy your life. Instead of passively going through life like a Non-Enjoying zombie, let’s get the most out of life by Enjoying it more. Life was not meant to be lived in a sterile world where you spend the entire day “hustling and grinding” like a glorified slave so you can pump your chest and brag about how hard you worked. When you’re lying on your deathbed, you won’t think about all the hard work you did. You’ll think about all the Enjoyable things you did. You are here because you simply want to Enjoy Life more. You’ve spent your entire life hustling and grinding to no avail. It’s time to change that and build a life of Maximum Enjoyment!

@LaddLaddLadd we had some fun spaces!

@waronweakness I miss it

There was a window of time when logging onto Twitter felt like going to hang out with your boys. That vibe is completely gone now.

I've started using Claude. It's great but I can see how someone can spend 20 hours a day on this thing and feel like they accomplished something when they've done nothing.

@CalvertKyam "everyday is the same"

Your degree of success in business and relationships depends almost entirely on how you handle the reality that is this image

@bowtiedbrazil - spend 20 minutes at the ATM ruminating if you're going to withdraw $10 worth of pesos or $20 worth of pesos

disagree. the real way: -pretend as if you're the only person around and do not take into account anyone else in the vicinity (music on speaker, etc) -be late for everything -make decisions emotionally and don't use logic -high libido -struggle with following basic directions

@bowtiedstocks @AlboMP I'm already re-framing <$3.00 unleaded in my mind as a massive discount lolol

@AlboMP being mogged on a global scale by Zero Hedge 👏

@tigerjvideo yeah. I was in denial for a bit as I like Elon but it's undeniable now

@waronweakness Elon ruined this platform. Full stop.

X wants to expand it's userbase and that means rewarding content that appeals to the masses aka slop. This means OG Twitter users who loved the community aspect of being able to listen to/interact with their group of favourite thinkers get shafted. Turns out we were a tiny minority.

@tigerjvideo It seems pretty clear the path they chose to take; content that appeals to the masses so they can get more users.

Twitter was a better place in 2015-2021. We traded some censorship for an infinite deluge of porn, scammers, violent videos, foreign operatives, Nikita and an algorithm that punishes community.

How do you sell a $10 houseplant for $1,000? Lend the houseplant to Kim Kardashian for a day. Take it back and put in on FB marketplace for $1,000 with a headline "Houseplant owned by Kim Kardashian" Use stories in your marketing.

@GrammarHippy George is back writing threads again. We are so back

Seems like a lot of people enjoyed this thread. I wanna write another one. How about showing you how a friend of mine is getting email leads for $0.42 - US leads. Using this system. Would you wanna read that?

@RamboVanHalen This was like a love letter to movies. Thank you for your service

I put in 25 years. It would be 26 but I haven't worked yet this year and I'm not sure I'll ever work in entertainment again. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time. But it's a sad thing--especially since the collapse of Hollywood is (mostly) self inflicted. Outsiders like to blame the unions and burdensome regulations. That's not exactly wrong, but the big reason is that Hollywood stopped making a product that people wanted to consume. Film is a funny thing. On one hand it's art. But on the other it's a mass consumer product--like a car, or a soft drink. But unlike a typical consumer product, it was something we consumed together. We went to a special place, and sat with strangers, and watched stories. And those stories infected us. They entered our minds and our souls and they implanted things. Deep things. Ancient things. Timeless things. Things like heroism and beauty and love and fear and sex and death and adventure and tragedy and pain and injustice and all the things that make up our dreams. There's a thing we call "cinematic language". It's how we tell a story with images. (And BTW if you want to learn more about the language of visual media, read Scott McCloud's excellent book Understanding Comics.) An odd thing about cinematic language is that it's the same language as dreams. There's a scene in Christopher Nolan's Inception where Leonardo DiCaprio is explains to (the tragic) Ellen Page how dreams work. But what he's really describing is cinematic language. Inception is really a movie about movies BTW. While it's far from my favorite film, I think it's the perfect film. Because the suspension of disbelief is perfect. You believe the plot about dreams because you're familiar with how movies work--maybe not consciously--but you know. Everyone knows. Maybe not everyone has seen a movie, but everyone has dreams. Another odd thing about film: you don't "watch" a movie, you look into it. And you put yourself inside it. Now you're in the dream. And you're hypnotized. Because movies do that too. The motion--the moving images--they hack your brain. We're programed to pay attention to moving things. Even when the things aren't real. Even when they're just light reflected off a screen. So we'd go to these special places--these movie theaters--these temples--and we'd sit, and we'd "watch" and we'd enter the dream. And we did it together. And after the movie was over--and the lights came on, and we'd file out over the sound of popcorn crunching under our feet--we were different. We had become transformed. Sometimes we were changed in minor ways. But sometimes not. Sometimes we were changed in profound ways. And we did it together. Before the movie we were a room full of strangers. But after--on the way out the door--we all had something in common. Because we shared an experience. We'd shared the dream. And we'd all become transformed. And then tech got involved... Streaming turned movies from a communal experience to a personal experience. And that's an issue, but they did something else too. They started developing movies as if they were tech products. But you can't apply a KPI to a dream. At least, not successfully anyway. Because dreams don't work like that--nor does any sort of art. And that's a funny thing about making movies. You try to make the best film you can, but at the end of the day you have no idea if it's good or if it's going to be successful. You just have to hope the audience likes it. Now, you can design a movie that will appeal to a preexisting audience. Marvel movies are like this. There's a large group of fanboy nerds that will see every single one. You can count on them every time. Just like you can count on the Gay Oscar Bait crowd (for example). But those movies are slop. But Hollywood became specialists in slop. Because slop is safe. Because you could apply KPI style metrics to slop. As a result they lost the audience. And the audience is probably never coming back. I wrote a book in 2024 (that was published in 2025). While writing, I thought of it as my farewell to the industry. But looking back, what I was actually writing was a eulogy for Hollywood--the place where dreams were made. And so it goes...
