but the people you remember, the ones who haunt you in the best way,
they weren’t interesting.
they were interested. interested in something.
in the world. in their craft. in the questions that wouldn’t let them sleep.
they weren’t trying to impress you.
they were trying to say something true.
don’t optimize for being interesting.

being interesting isn’t something you perform.
it’s something you earn.
you earn it by becoming.
by having convictions that cost you something.
by building skills that make your hands shake.
by developing taste.. not just what’s “cool,” but what’s yours.
by forming a worldview that filters light differently than anyone else’s.

whenever i make something, anything, the first question i start with is:
how do i want someone to feel?
how do i want someone to feel?
feel first, ship after
the hard truth is life feels like a grind when you’re playing the wrong game.
because it is.
& no amount of “resilience” will save you if the surface is wrong.

people talk about market fit for products.
but you need market fit for yourself.
not everyone is meant to be a founder.
not everyone is built for scale.
some of you are legendary in small rooms.
some of you are monsters in chaos, but boring in stability.
some of you should never work for anyone again.
knowing that is pure freedom.
that’s also leverage.

where do the odds tilt for me?
where do i hit like ichiro in his zone?
where do i suck oxygen out of the room just by being me?
because if you can’t answer that, you’re probably spending your best energy in arenas where the game is stacked against you.

we share things that...
1. make us look good
2. create envy or awe
1. make us look good
every share is a flex.
sometimes it’s loud (“look how smart i am”)
sometimes it’s soft (“this moved me”)
but it’s always identity signaling.
you’re saying: this is me. see me.
2. create envy or awe
we share things that provoke:... See more
“wait... how did you do that?”
this is why people post ai art, lensa portraits, chatg
why we share: the architecture of sharability
but the rare few, they hold the whole thing in their minds. the arc, the why, the future weight of it.
& they chip away at it without drama.
they write in silence.
they code when no one’s watching.
they refine. rethink. remove.
they don’t confuse attention for traction.
they don’t confuse planning for movement.
they just do the next thing.

the rarest skill in the world
they don’t need the dopamine of sharing before it’s real.
they just wake up the next morning & move one pixel forward.
one task. one line. one meeting. one note.
quiet progress. no witnesses.
this is the rarest skill in the world: to think big, & execute small.
not as a philosophy.
as a lifestyle.
