If you struggle to lift yourself up & create good habits for yourself,

the last thing you need is people dragging you down.

Don't waste (too much) time trying to change people around you, even if you love them.

Most will keep watching Youtube & eat sugar whatever you say.
Other bad habits:

- Spending too much time on social networks stalking others (FB/Instagram)
- Watching TV (yup, in 2018...)
- Never working out (hint: we aren't biologically suited for a sedentary life)
- Spending hours gossipping because others' lives are more interesting
...
But at the beginning, always assume the best in others: despite being the minority,

some people have a strong desire to transform their lives positively.

They were just lost in the darkness, and the light of your guidance may save them some time & prevent many obvious mistakes.

Mind is software all written in the same computer language.

Its quality depends on the talent of the nurturing developers.

Elegant code is concise & clear.

Unnecessary complexity has been removed from its core.

Noise is gone.

What’s left? The beauty of simplicity.
Awakening is the ability to rewrite your own source code.
The most harmful condition implemented, which iterates itself to grow stronger, is probably:

“If you don’t get [X], then you will be unhappy.”

Freedom is about untethering yourself from this resiliently destructive mechanism.

[THREAD] Learnt in 2018

1/ Most people will never treat themselves with respect & kindness.

A healthy relationship with yourself is the main requirement before any other kind of relationship.

Corollary:
Be it family, partner or friends, most relationships are crumbling wrecks.
2/ Met some older people (60+) who never came into conflict with close relatives. Husband, siblings, etc.

They are amongst the most superficial & dishonest individuals I have ever met.

We all want to live under the illusion of a perfect life.

Only cowards never face the truth.
3/ Short-term, we overestimate our potential accomplishments & long-term, we underestimate them.

I started to work towards self-improvement around 5 years ago.

The beginning was flat.

Nodes of progression only started to connect in 2017.
The network activity exploded in 2018.

Even if you could live thousands of lifetimes,

you wouldn’t have enough time to read all the books or meet everyone.

“But you can always learn something from someone!”

Of course.
That’s how life is.

But life is also about good judgment, wise decisions & opportunity cost.
Don’t waste time on relationships which don’t provide mutual value.

The best relationships are effortless from the beginning and benefit from the power of compound interest.

Don’t waste time on reading rehashes of what you already know.

Most books aren’t worth reading.
Everytime I go to the library, I see a miracle.

Mankind’s ability to accumulate knowledge through the generations.

For whoever happens to be born in such an era, it’s a gift and a curse:

the flood of information is disorientating & scary.

And from confusion rises fear.

Even though music has long been automated, we enjoy hearing it live everywhere, & those making the music enjoy performing it live. In a world with basic income, expect more live music. With the need to survive taken off the table, humanity can enjoy the experience of being human.
Tech will eliminate many jobs, but there will always be added value in real human experience. The problem is despite that value, it may not pay enough to flourish. But flourishing becomes that much more possible when people are starting above the poverty line instead of below it.
One aspect of the future of work is the uniqueness of human creation. Sure, machines can make very affordable knives for example, but many chefs will still always seek hand-forged one-of-a-kind knives. The same goes for all kinds of unique handmade works of 21st century artisans.

Still on a bit of a nostalgic #DoctorWho kick, in particular for the Moffat Era.

So now watching “Dark Water”, the first part of the two-part eighth season finale.
“It's a terrible thing. Just a terrible, terrible thing.”
“It wasn't terrible.”
“Clara?”
“It was boring.”
“Boring?”
“It was ordinary.”

Clara is a fascinating companion, in large part because she’s essentially riffing on the sense of entitlement that Rose felt.
“He deserved better. And so did you.”
“I don't deserve anything. Nobody deserves anything.”
“But I am owed better. I am owed.”

Clara is selfish and self-centred. But she’s aware of that, and the show is aware of that.

These traits are explored as developed. They make her human.

Nobody knows his face. Hidden by a mask, Alpha Jeon Jeongguk was a mystery unsolved. His identity might be concealed but his aura of intense supremacy wasn't. People envied him and mostly feared him, except for one myth that hides his own identity and race.
Will yall support me if i do this?

Good time-zone dependent morning, everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the research I did for my PhD project, looking at the remnants of planetary systems at white dwarfs. Lets talk about the end of the world(s)!
As I mentioned yesterday, white dwarfs are the left over cores of stars that have run out of hydrogen and helium to power nuclear fusion in their cores. Every star less than about 8 times the mass of the Sun will follow the top track here, ending up as a white dwarf.
What we're left with is a tiny, dense ball of carbon and oxygen (the products of helium fusion), surrounded by a layer of helium then, 80% of the time, a thin layer of hydrogen. There are some variations, but that's what your typical white dwarf is like.

I hate the fact that we are STILL the last thing we need to be and that is DIVIDED. We have to figure out a way to get around this or it is just more of the same old same old. It needs to be ALL of us against the BAD GUYS. Not against the still sleeping.
I still see a lot of us against them. I get it, Im guilty myself of it. My mom always said kill them with kindness and it has been a good rule of thumb through my life. We need to work with this tool. I know its hard and its frustrating, but it still remains it must be love
The strongest yet gentleness of weapons. Patience is a must. Arguing and in your face isnt going to cut it or we just look like them or a mirror of them. They are us, our families, our old friends, our loved ones. We are them, they are us.

A week ago, I had a thoroughly bizarre experience that not many people do: For 20 minutes, I thought I was going to die. As evidence: I wrote my wife Lauren a goodbye note. Here’s what I was thinking about in that space of time.
I thought about my family.

I missed my wife even though she was right next to me. I was so sad for my kids. I thought so much about them laughing.
I fixated on two specific details:

My son sitting at the top of the stairs, waiting patiently every morning for me.

The nape of my daughters neck—always visible because her hair is so short and curly, and impossible not to kiss.
