If you’re reading this, timing has its own design. Some paths cross exactly when they should. After years on Medium, where I became one of its most read long-form writers, I’m back on X. Developing my own philosophies on discipline, alignment, and self-mastery. I publish two newsletters: • Philosophy viam.substack.com • Writing writerspath.substack.com Welcome

@EgoDriv play to win not make a point i should print this somewhere brother

TREAT EVERYTHING AS A VARIABLE TO OPTIMIZE RATHER THAN AN IDENTITY TO PROJECT AND PRESERVE. PLAY TO WIN NOT MAKE A POINT. WINNING ARGUMENTS WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY OR MAKE YOU FEEL ANY BETTER. FOCUS ON WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. Now go and win.

@msq_dev @barneyxbt i do agree with you that the ICO scam running till forever now, it's just direct deployer bs bundling all of their sht and dumping

@writerpath_ @barneyxbt The "get in early" on the shitters today was the ICO pre-sale back in 2015-2017 cycle. So they could dump on you after launch. Same dog shit, different breed. Shilling everyone about this "shiny new tech" to end up being fugazi worthless crap.

people are leaving crypto in numbers i’ve never seen in 9 years on this space and I get it. we turned this space into the exact thing it was built to destroy. institutions own it now. etfs, kyc, regulated everything. the 100x is dead. that era is gone. you’ll be lucky to pull a 2x going forward and you’ll be grateful for it like a boomer staring at their 401k statement. that’s what institutional adoption actually looks like. nobody told you the tradeoff was giving up everything that made crypto worth being early to and the last window for real money was memes. but memes are also ironically the final nail in the coffin. we allowed every dollar to be drained out of the ecosystem and funneled it to insiders while retail held bags and pretended it was still fun lmfao we literally destroyed the greatest financial revolution of our lifetime from the inside and now everyone’s shocked it doesn’t feel the same it doesn’t feel the same because it isn’t

@RyanTNotes @IAmAaronWill i feel we often price ourselves based of our self esteem when you running low, you are sht with price, it's only when you really know what you are worth and you feel it deep inside, you can charge correctly

@IAmAaronWill We often price based on our own bank accounts instead of the client's actual ROI.

I once charged a dude $3k for my services. When we finished delivering he tells me that he would've paid $10k. I was mad. So I increased my prices. Don't undersell yourself. Charge more.

@ItsKieranDrew With all the AI ​​competition, quality becomes the edge against the feed full of slop.

When competition is fierce, quality is mandatory.

@DionysianAgent it's because they feel lack sht about themselves and they expect everyone to feel the same you being happy and vibing is an attack to their identity

high self-esteem is almost always categorized as arrogance by those who have low self-esteem and they will have an incessant need to try and tear self esteem down to make themselves feel better I.e - “you’re arrogant” no you’re just a pathetic whiny faggot who gets one shot by my presence, if you had genuine self-esteem yourself then you would think I’m hilarious as fuck and we would vibe

@MoreThanMasses game is game😂

Sometimes you just gotta make a new account larping as a hot chick to get the alpha whatever it takes

@digiii It will

what if it all works out?

@basedethos thank you bro

Level 500 is actually ur natural state. It’s effortless when you do the work to clear the bullshit. Money doesn’t matter at 500. You don’t think about it and yet it flows abundantly.

@AJA_Cortes This is the ultimate flex of the modern world. Everything can be bought except this, which you only get with sweat and blood at the gym.

The gym is the one meritocracy that still works. You cannot buy a bigger squat. You cannot argue your way into more muscle You earn it or you dont GO TO THE GYM

@digiii For us humans, organisms in motion, entropy is death. We must remain constantly in motion, even in a state of zugzwang.

no matter what happens, keep moving forward

@0xleegenz The Earth could be nothing more than a giant prison where entities farm you to extract energy. I don't believe it, but it's an interesting take on the why of the world.

What is a conspiracy theory that sounds crazy but makes you think?

@IAmAaronWill fat fitness coach 💀

Please be good at what you offer before you do it. We have ghostwriters with no followers. Fitness coaches who weigh 120 dripping wet. Mfs building personal brands who don't even have one. Your first piece of social proof is yourself.

@Marsh_Mayor3 @digiii amen bro

@digiii Inshallah

this is the year you win

@PromptLLM @pmarca I saw a viral tweet a few days ago saying that the highest form of intelligence is pattern recognition. I think all these high performers are skilled at analyzing, recognizing patterns, and identifying the most efficient actions.

The @pmarca Introspection debate is really interesting and I am in the minority who agrees with him. If you study the ultra successful and high performers, one thing they nearly all have in common they see the world through the lense of science, and especially physics. They talk in terms first principle thinking, systems, inputs and outputs, they focus on the core truths of the matter and disregard everything that is not a fundamental truth. they believe the solutions to the problems they face is in the current bottleneck / constraint and solving that. not trying to find the answer within themselves and analyse how they feel.

@riverie_85 @livewithnoregrt i'm only using it because most of my work is on it but i feel bad for people who use it only to numb themselves from real life if one day, i'm rich enough, disconnecting everything and living in a farm with no wifi 😂

@writerpath_ @livewithnoregrt So, I'm not the only one who thinks like that😭

what is something from your childhood that kids today will never experience?

@MattWalshBlog All great literature is born from introspection of a complete life. He is totally self-absorbed to think of something as stupid as that.

This is, of course, retarded. The great men of history were deeply introspective. They wrote memoirs, journals, diaries, poetry. They were philosophers, theologians. They yearned. They were romantics. They were in fact much more introspective than the average person today. However it is true that none of the great men of history, or any men at all (or even women), were sitting around whining to therapists about their feelings. I think the difference (and maybe this is what he's trying to get at) is that historical man wanted to KNOW himself while modern man cares only about how he FEELS about himself. The former wanted to know himself and the world beyond regardless of how it made him feel. The latter wants to feel good about himself even at the expense of knowing himself and the world beyond. That's why he drugs himself into oblivion. But this is not introspection. It's anti-introspection.

@anxietymsgs this is a blessing bro why would I have to deal with him or her just shutting my mouth and listening

How do you deal with a person smarter than you?

@riverie_85 @livewithnoregrt for real, no social media was peak

@livewithnoregrt Not using any social media, today's kids are everywhere
