Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!" Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point." This post is not about cars :)

If you are consistent, the answer is letting go and being more playful; fucking around more. Esp. relevant for people with sports background! Once you learn discipline, it becomes the proverbial hammer and sometimes you have to unlearn it to go to the next stage.

People love a good downfall. Gives them a nice little excuse for why they never had a meteoric rise of their own.

I think people fundamentally misunderstand what reading does When you read Adam Smith you not only get bullet points and examples but see how he crafts an argument, how he mobilizes evidence (or doesn’t!) and spurs questions that you don’t even know to ask bc they’re subtextual
Spending an hour asking ChatGPT about Adam Smith generally teaches you 3x as much as spending an hour reading Wealth of Nations. The undergrads are using AI because it's just a better, more efficient way to learn things

The funny thing about *truly* great human health is that it *requires* ambitious goals/purpose/etc. and these *cannot* be health itself. The greats deeply care about their goals, and health often follows (including maxxing out value of suboptimal sleep h) -- unless they’re grossly self-sabotaging it. Imo if you put great health on the pedestal, ironically, you’re more likely to miss it. See research on people needing less sleep h and food if they look forward to tomorrow, winners healing faster, status, etc. P.s. Even Bryan does not pursue health for its own sake; it seems to be a tool in service of his purpose, to conquer death.

🤔I have a feeling…..we are going to make it. (abundance, longevity, indefinite lifespan, age-reversal, space travel, brain uploading, human-machine merging and more) We are going to make it because this is meant to be. This is humanity’s destiny.

The first #omnichain smart contract has been launched! On May 1st we did hold a demo session for our advisors and some invited guests. It worked smoothly! We were able to implement a complete PoC of omnichain smart contract infrastructure and test it with one smart contract in less than 1.5 months. It's really remarkable and I want to give Kudos to my team and especially my Co-founder Alexey Kulik who made a crucial contribution to the codebase of PoC and really made everything work together. It's not yet perfect – it's PoC , but it's working! 🙂 Our next big milestone is the release of the first production version where you yourself will be able to create an omnichain smart contract from a predefined set of templates and connect it to your app, making it omnichain dApp. What does it mean for the web3 industry? It means that soon you won't need to choose what blockchain to deploy on your smart contract, it will be able to exist on all of them simultaneously. This will be the time when all blockchains will finally be united. 5 people, 5 cities, 1 hackathon, 1 Chat GPT – here’s a short recap of our crazy past 2 months: 🔸 Won 4th place in @ethpo Hackathon. In just 48 hours we (Alex, Alexey, Yahor, and #ChatGPT) released an early prototype of our technology. 🔸Finalized our Proof of Concept of omnichain smart contract infrastructure – it can already have one omnichain smart contract in operation, effectively it can mint an NFT on three chains at a time. 🔸Started our go-to-market and signed the first letter of intent with Ship (ship.paralect.com/), a low-code development platform for early-stage startups used by 30+ projects, including a unicorn. Very soon they all will be able to go omnichain with us. 🔸 Had >40 prolific calls with potential partners and investors (we are grateful to everyone for their feedback). 🔸 Onboarded the best advisors one could dream of: – Leonid Lozner, co-founder of @EPAMSystems ; – @gregyoung , inventor of CQRS, founder of @eventstore , a core technology we use in our architecture; – @sbarysiuk , CTO, Co-founder of @pandadoc , a legal tech unicorn; – @violettachekan_ , VC investor, founder of @viscaeli. #Omnichain future, we are coming! 🌟Follow us to learn more!
