Everything in life comes with trade-offs. I highly recommend using ~decision trees w/ several layers, doing thought experiments to figure out what you actually value. Some things have near-infinite consequences or rewards; you gotta factor that in.

More than half of the value of writing an essay lies in how it forces you to reorganize and refine your thoughts. The finished essay itself is a bonus.

I read recently about “joining a tradition you respect” when deciding on your career/life’s work and I really enjoy that line of thinking

said this to a friend but it applies to many: i think you have a good guess what you should be doing. no need to overthink it! just execute on your inkling for 3 months, and then evaluate if you want to try something diff. course correct more often than that eats your bandwidth

@OrphicCapital Your Caregiver is real. Your Caregiver is reliable. Your Caregiver loves you. Your Caregiver follows knowable patterns. Things exist even when you can’t see them. You can make things happen. You can make good things and bad things happen. If you cry your Caregiver will hear you.

Women, in general, just want someone who treats them like a person. Who enjoys being with them. Cares what they think. Treats them well. Respects their feelings and ideas. Being funny helps.

If you're a man who is not able to find someone, it's most likely you need to work on your personality.

Cheating (emotional or physical) typically happens when a partner is not able to own their wants in a relationship, and instead goes elsewhere to find love. Hint: This happens more than you think
