Naval Ravikant: The only true test of intelligence, is if you get what you want out of life.

Being born blind completely abolishes the risk of developing schizophrenia One of the must utterly insane and fascinating examples of how little we know about mental illness Over decades of research there hasn't been a single case of congenital blindness + schizophrenia

I still remember the day I made this post. There's no type of insult I did not get that day. Just because you can't find the door does not mean there is no way out of the room. It's quite sad that the conversations around AI have been too focused on generating shitty code. You can actually put money in your pocket or solve a real problem. Things that I could not even imagine are now within reach. For instance, it would take 4 to 5 years to get a STEM degree, but now I can just go to Amazon and order books, read them, use NotebookLM to create flash cards, summaries, audio and visual explainers and sprint through materials that would have taken years to absorb without compromising on actual learning. And now, I have the framework to design a trading algorithm and the tools (LLMs) to implement it at an insane pace. I did not realize how far I have come until recently when I was discussing with another engineer who was building a bot for prediction markets. I was talking about probability theory completely off hand and citing authors from different books in between like it's nothing. Again, poverty is a choice.

Let’s talk politics.

Today’s to do list: 1. Bite off more than I can chew 2. Build Rome in one day 3. Poke a bear with a stick 4. Beat a dead horse 5. Skate on thin ice

Once you realize it is easier to go from 1 to 10 than from 0 to 1, you will never stop what you have started and persist. Small wins release dopamine, creating a self-reinforcing loop. Progress itself becomes motivating. Habits feel automatic rather than forced. But if you give up in the middle because there is no progress, each time you quit after a bright start, zone out, and go back to scratch, you force yourself to face that same heavy resistance again. You stop fighting the real problems ahead and start fighting the potential and the universe itself just to create the first movement. You are in a way demanding another first movement as if you could generate it endlessly on your own strength. But if the true first movement comes from God or the ultimate source beyond us, then persistence becomes not just wiser but utilitarian. Protect the motion once it has begun. Do not lightly snuff it out and demand the divine

Type of shit I would spend hours looking through as a kid before the smartphone destroyed my life

Parabéns, minha princesa! 🎂❤️🤍 4 anos cheios de alegria. O pai ama-te muito! #AngelyBella

@mayowaofyt Sorry about that man. Hope you bounce back.

I woke up with zero active channels. The last one I was hoping to bounce back on got hit last night before I slept. That’s three channels gone in a row. I might take a break for now, find new niches, and I’ll be right back. At the moment, my mentorship programs are closed until further notice. Thank you for riding with me.

@livescore Old Lady indeed

🚨 Juventus are preparing for a mega summer of big-name arrivals, according to reports 🗞️ 🇵🇹 Bernardo Silva 🇵🇱 Robert Lewandowski 🇧🇷 Alisson Becker Could the Old Lady be on the way back? 👀

One thing I I have learned is that a lot of Nigerians don’t tie their struggles to the dysfunctional system in Nigeria, they think it’s the devil or something

@RaywondersA Nice one.

We as doctors aren't nice to ourselves. Last week I wasn't feeling too well so I told my senior, all he said was "we all aren't fine na" in a sarcastic tone that I didn't find funny... I just stood up and left... We don't care about ourselves

Mistake 2: You list responsibilities instead of results. "Managed payment gateway integration" means nothing to a Canadian recruiter. "Reduced payment failure rate by 35% by implementing retry logic and idempotency keys across 3 payment channels" gets you the interview. Quantify everything. 3/10

The beautiful paradox of growing up. You work so hard to become an adult just to realize the child was the destination all along.

Actual fence-sitters do not exist. They're people who are not publicly proud of their choices.

Home is wherever I am with you.

@AgentZuwas How much will a bed sitter or one bedroom flat cost along Sapele Road or Isihor cost
