1. Desire is a contract to be unhappy until you get what you want. 2. Happiness is only ever available now. 3. You were never broken; that was a thought. 4. Your gut is a lifetime …

Not it unfortunately.

I fear there’s no coming back. When convenience destroys a culture, I’m not sure you’re ever able to get ever get the heart of it back. Especially when it was the network effects t…

I probably should have just included it in the post, because now I’m replying the same thing hoping someone finds it… I don’t think it’s BSS unless there are EPs from before what’s…

I selfishly wanted to but: 1. It’s a little besides the point 2. I didn’t want to embarrass myself with how badly I remember it. Anyway, here’s my shot: Male singer + (from other c…

It was pretty alt-grungy (something like TV on The Radio or Blockparty at the time). Lyric I remember is from a song starting with something along the lines of: throw away your new…

The thing I miss most, and the thing we’ll never get back was the cultural buy-in and network effects. My music discovery then was different friend groups incrementally amassing la…

I worked for some years in cancer prevention. Last year, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. My family largely agrees with this article: treatment was a mistake and likely wo…

Thanks! Great idea to use configurator. Turning my iPhone into a dumb phone has been one of the best things I ever did. My relationship with my phone was weird (using it for distra…

On the contrary, I spoke with a local coffee shop branch owner who said that squatters are essential to keeping the space lively, popular, and “cool.” This atmosphere draws in pass…

I had deep-access to this industry in a past career - the way online sportbooks talk about their customers in private is all you need to know to know that this isn’t business, it’s…

It’s only Lean Startup methodology if the lies stay limited to consumers; otherwise, it’s just sparkling securities fraud.

I loved this footnote: “I followed up by asking GPT-4o to draw “Explain who the enemy is”, and it generated an image with nothing except the word “SELF” in bold letters on a beige …

Humans are incredibly perceptive, and the soft robotic buzz (as in the demos) will do as much to diminish rapport as a foreign accent.

I learned on this. It’s near perfect. Nothing to say but thank you!

Love it - Great work. I’m gonna give it a go.

Hard to pull off! But I imagine the wave of Bryan Johnson fans would be game.

Great experiment! It’s important to highlight that even in rigorously blinded studies which find a drug ineffective on average, there can still be genuine responders—this is known …

My favorite part was my iPhone struggling to run this thing once it got busy, and me desperate to not lose the game. Took me back to the old days!

Guess all those breakthroughs curing mouse cancer in human models are null then… back to the drawing board, tiny scientists!

True. Guess I’m disheartened by years of clickbait.

Graphene seems to be like a hotshot actor who lands a million auditions but somehow never makes it past a walk-on role in a toothpaste commercial.

Yesterday I laughed with my brother about how harsh people on the internet were about World Labs launch (“you can only walk three steps, this demo sucks!”). I was thinking, “this w…
