From optimizing the whole flow to rest versus idleness, high achievers chasing success, mindfulness's hidden risks, pinball, and an island that appeared then vanished.
From optimizing the whole flow to rest versus idleness, high achievers chasing success, mindfulness's hidden risks, pinball, and an island that appeared then vanished.
From adaptation and charisma to mini-personalities, living forever, ancient wheat for modern cooking, blogging history and cognitive load along the way.
From a 1971 social network that never died, a watch-caught heart problem, building without predicting, exams in the age of chatbots, chasing what excites you, and writing snail mail.
From lawn-mowing algorithms to being bald being better, energy hoarding, lighthouse rescues, digital sanctuaries, and the case for writing anyway.
From playing the long game to the 500-mile email, premium mediocre living, vintage typewriters, and losing the ability to discover what we didn't know to ask.
Private jets, red-and-green squiggles, power tools gone wrong, dogs texting people and how to find out how weird you really are.
Surrender as a life strategy, democracy's bullshit, AI doomers, tiny experiments in uncertainty, Vonnegut's life advice, and rest in peace Om.
Tombstone exercises, founder mode, jargon monoxide, 8-bit baseball, the sky you should’ve seen and silent reading parties.
Manufactured rock bands, molly guards, Freddie Mercury's aversion, shoelaces, grief, and the joy equation. And a bonus coversation on what it means to live well.
