What’s also fascinating about Steve Jobs is that he clearly had some internal insight or timing that drove his decisions, but couldn’t transfer that knowledge to others. So people focus on his behavior instead of understanding what was actually guiding him.
I get the nostalgia for Steve Jobs, but doesn’t that yearning highlight the real challenge? How do you build a company that thrives without its founder? Berkshire, Tesla, SpaceX - they’ll all face this test eventually.
The world is ripe for a rise of dictators. People are looking for a strong man savior to make everything calm. This has hardly turned out great for us in history.
I tried to capture the view from my drive this evening, but the photo just didn’t do justice to it.
The things you can’t handle are running your life.
I’m so grateful for life… Today is a brand new day, and I love it exactly the way it is, not because it couldn’t be better, but because it’s what it is and it’s beautiful just as it is. It’s just another beautiful day on this beautiful Earth orbiting around this beautiful sun.
When’s the last time a debate changed anyone’s mind? And why are the people who talk the best usually not the ones actually building things?
How do you communicate displeasure while still letting people know they’re free to be exactly who they are?
I will be truly free when I can be okay with any outcome in life without losing my sense of agency. It's about radical acceptance of reality, not apathy.
I want to need people, and I want to be needed by people. Living just for myself isn't fulfilling for me.
Populism is fueled by hate, and populist leaders often turn out to be a disaster. With social media as a weapon, if you want to destabilize an enemy country, just pump them full of hate. The rest will take care of itself.
In times of war and crisis, you see the worst of people, but you also witness the best: courage and selfless service that make you want to cry and smile.

Wise words do not change minds if the person is not ready for them. You can't change people; they change themselves when they're ready.
Another freeing thought was realizing that free people don't always act in ways you deem wise or right. This is a reality you must accept, and it minimizes your suffering. Trying to control what people do, think, or say will only make you miserable. Leave it to nature and reality
I've witnessed so much injustice and deceit in my life, and it used to move and frustrate me deeply. Now, I've realised that I can acknowledge it, feel it, and let it go. My life is lighter. I only act within my sphere of control. If I can't control it, I let it go.
I never thought I would find myself vibing to metal, but this one brother introduced me to Sleep Token, and the song 'Chokehold' is 🔥.
Often, if we knew the true difficulty of a task beforehand, we might never begin. Yet, it's this very optimism—bordering on delusion—that fuels so much success, combined with persistence and a bit of luck.
It's not so much that one should not feel; feelings are a way of life. The problem lies in rumination and believing your made-up thoughts. Our minds never say 'I don't know' when it comes to trying to help us cope with our emotions.
Honest criticism about some parts of the world will be lower in the next few years. Especially on social media.
