Still forming an opinion on Mamdani.
Was initially biased on what I believe were socialist policies and a retreat from capitalistic and free market policies.
With this clip, I’m warming to fact that he both cares deeply about his constituents AND has the comms skills to help the ideologically left see the truth and virtues of being high agency, solution oriented and getting things done.
He can say this because he’s “Nixon in China”
In 1972 Nixon opened relations with communist China. A Democrat might’ve been criticized for being soft on communism, but Nixon had such anti-commie credentials that he was able to do and say things others couldn’t
Mamdani is such an uberleftist that he can get away with saying harsh truths about the left without appearing a quisling
Was flipping through Michael Pollan’s How to Change your Mind.
Deepest insight and perhaps its simplest imo: that normal waking consciousness is just one of many ways of perceiving reality. And that our stubborn assumption that it’s the only valid one may be our greatest limiting belief.
All scripture distilled:
the mystics experienced the oneness directly but could only gesture at it in metaphor.
True
I spent the weekend using AI to explore renovation ideas for a property. Each concept generated was basically construction-ready, since I fed it land & soil surveys (and generated everything else off Zillow and satellite photos).
The future is going to have very few intermedaries between consumers and the last mile of labor.
And more broadly: consumers will be spending a lot more on custom projects to get precisely what they want, since the reasons they've been cost prohibitive (design and engineering) will no longer matter.
Essentially, a lot more things are going to be custom-fabricated—electronics, clothing, home fixtures. The next era of consumer tech is going to make everyone a hobbyist and builder.
Become what you seek
If you want love, give love.
If you want abundance, cultivate an internal sense of abundance and behave generously.
If you want strength, practice strength.
If you want harmony, become more harmonious.
The way to receive love is through giving it, because giving changes you into someone filled with what you’re seeking.
Well-being comes from well-doing
Your predominant mental state matters more than occasional thoughts
You will experience fear, jealousy, anger, doubt, worry. The practice isn’t pretending those thoughts never occur.
It’s to stop feeding unwanted thoughts.
Instead of wrestling with an unwanted thought, introduce the opposite quality:
Fear → courage
Hatred → goodwill
Scarcity → abundance
Weakness → strength
Jealousy → generosity
Worry → constructive action
You don’t fight darkness directly. You introduce light.
A quote I revisit often:
“Good marketing is finding different ways to tell the truth.”

Best combo are Europeans who made their way to the US and realize it’s the best place to live.
