Have U ever stopped and explored the way U write '8'? Super interesting number, lots of ways to write it

+1 on this recommendation, Boundless Refuge creates a wonderful container for people to go deep in their practice
If awakening is the primary purpose of your spiritual practice - and one of the organizing principles for your life - this retreat might be right for you. I've heard good things from multiple people I know.

If U want to get strong, consider ignoring 'optimal' training schedules that have U train 2-3x/week. I find daily habits easier to stick with, and sticky habits drive results. 2x/week shaped habits get easily derailed. Daily feels automatic. What U do daily, U do forever

Hm, hit my Gemini 3 rate limit again in Antigravity but it seems like Claude 4.5 Thinking is also just free? So I'll use that for a while haha

My handwriting has improved and I didn't consciously practice. It started when @danielgolliher called handwriting legibility a skill issue at a talk. I watched youtube videos on longhand theory and paid some attention to 'writing from my shoulder' but otherwise did very little

U can't be good, only lessbad
what is it with rationalist types and always describing things as not bad instead of good?

Hit the Gemini 3 rate limit in Antigravity finally. Overall, pretty competent, I've given it way more open ended prompts and the browser integration makes it quite capable of solving user interaction problems which seems cool

Some days I just wake up much better at certain skills, like overnight my brain completed its training run of Juggler 2.5 and now I can juggle for 50% longer without the system destabilizing

Not the founder of Hyundai :)
almost everyone in history who accomplished something notable was born free from toil the expectation otherwise is limited to 20th century WASPs

In winter I can either: cower all day at the cold, shivering in low energy mode OR immediately exercise myself into high calorie burning mode and lean into the natural cooling to help me overclock my body's normal limits, feel warm, toasty, and energized all day long

I appreciate that Breakneck by Dan Wang has raised the alarm for a lot of people, and I think the book glossed over the huge advantage America has in space flight and that directly falls out the advantages of the American economic system :)

Non-dominant hands have a lot to teach, they tend to 'grasp' and 'manipulate' less, they often understand smooth and flowing movements more readily, especially left hands for right hand dominant people. Many aspects of sword work I find easier with my left now
While teaching ninjutsu last night I realized that many movements I practice now feel better with my left hand dominant. My weak side grew into the favored side after a decade of consistent focus! Now my left can teach my right :)

Related to this, I hate the western obsession with "born special" / "chosen one" narratives like Harry Potter.
I imagine a popular, revived, humanist, science compatible Christianity thriving. It only requires dropping belief in immaculate conception. Acknowledging the miracle of Jesus's person arose out of the mundane beautifies the story. We of ordinary birth can live Christlike lives

"Everyone suffers setbacks. If you’re ambitious and dedicated, you’re signing up for more and larger failures. One of my favorite interview questions is “what’s the most expensive thing you’ve broken?” and the answers can blow your mind."—Casey Handmer
