I thought I’d recover from my skull-poisoning and everything would go back to normal, shipshape, better than ever, really! Redemption would have straightened out all the strangeness, like “ah yes, I get it now, this was all for something.” I mean, if there’s no arc, what’s the point? You just felt bad and then you felt less bad? That’s it ?

It's very weird to have a skull full of poison
Sometimes I get this feeling like, “Nothing will ever work out for me, I will always be unhappy, the rest of my life will be a sort of wandering twilight punctuated with periods of misery.”
And my wife will go, “You're hungry.”
And I'll go, “No, no, this is true unhappiness, it comes to me unadulterated from hell itself, it lives inside my bones, I... See more

I only started making progress when I realized I was facing a toothbrushing problem: feeling normal again would probably require me to do stuff every day for the rest of my life. I might get better at doing that stuff, just like when you first start brushing your teeth as a kid you get toothpaste everywhere and end up swallowing half of it, and... See more

An email from Coach Sommer I revisit often:
Hi Tim,
Patience. Far too soon to expect strength improvements. Strength improvements [for a movement like this] take a minimum of 6 weeks. Any perceived improvements prior to that are simply the result of improved synaptic facilitation. In plain... See more
Tim Ferrissx.comThe more time passes, the more I believe crypto natives have completely lost the plot on ETH and that’s it’s becoming impossible to replicate the product that Ethereum has built.
At this point, no other ecosystem is even attempting to create a WWIII-resistant, globally shared settlement system. And as we’ve come to understand, you can’t... See more

Raoul on Zcash:
"Bitcoin, for me, was at $200 when I wrote the first-ever macro strategy piece, and I was like, listen, it might go to zero, but I think it goes to $100,000. And at $200, this is probably the best bet I've ever seen, and it works out in the end, but the path is a difficult path. And it feels the same... See more
Hazy Cubs 🛡️x.comThe problem with this analysis is that "revenue" is a tricky word when you are applying it to a L1.
"Revenue" is price x quantity sold. It ignores expenses. On the other hand, profit subtracts expenses to get your actual net income.
So if you look at transaction fees on Ethereum, the naive... See more
