The idea that wealth carries obligation is not new, not progressive, and not radical. It is older than any religion currently practiced, articulated independently by civilisations that never communicated with each other, and encoded in the legal structures of ancient Rome and the sacred texts of ancient Egypt alike. What Carnegie did in 1889 was not invent this idea. He repackaged it in the language of industrial capitalism and pointed it at the people who most needed to hear it. The man who dies rich dies disgraced. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. The gods chained him to a rock for eternity. He is still, two and a half thousand years later, the word we use for someone who loves humanity enough to pay a price for it.

If you lie down for 4 hours after work and just stare at your phone, your brain stores that time as >>phone time<<—just one single chunk. Since there's only one piece of data saved, it feels like the whole 4 hours evaporated

To cut down on this kind of time and use it more densely, it's good to forcibly put >>periods<< in the middle of this hazy daily routine to create clear memories

•On the way home from work, listen fully to exactly 3 favorite songs and then turn it off
•When you get home, hang up your outer clothes and drink a glass of cool water
•Before washing up, clear away one used cup from the desk
•Watch YouTube Shorts for exactly 15 minutes and then closing the app

Even with something this tiny, if you mark it with a 'it's done' period, your brain will recognize that a lot of data has been stored.. For people who feel like their day is way too short—especially those with ADHD—I bet it'd really help to give this a try

What will humanity build in a world where intelligence is no longer the bottleneck? What is possible, and what becomes scarce, when intelligence is a commodity? That’s the race the winners are running right now.

In an infinite game with escalating stakes, there is no exit calculation. You either keep playing or you are eliminated. The absence of a finish line does not free you from the race. It removes the only thing that could have stopped it.

This is not a competition with a winner. It is a treadmill that accelerates until participants fall off.

for a moment in 1900s, we formed a large middle class for first time in humanity, but thats now exponentially stripping away, the tiktok generation will be completely controlled, they wont know how to do anything
