April 23, 2021

The journey is more important than the destination, but without a destination then you're just wandering. This means there's technically no real way to say if you're moving in the right direction or if you're better or worse off. 


"I was very curious about what's the meaning of life. I had an existential crisis when I was 11 or 12, came to conclusion that we don't know the answer, but if we increase the scope & scale of civilization we've a better chance of understanding the meaning of life" —

Thoughts become things.

Replying to
Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Upahisnads

Replying to
"If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand."

Replying to
Darkness must pass a new day will come and when the sunshines it will shines out the clearer J.R.R Tolkien

Replying to
Read something where they said your future self 20 years from now will be what your thoughts are now. That bodes well for my future self however my current self isn’t indicative of 20 years back.

Replying to
Distinctiveness effect- When something stands out from the information around it, it is often remembered better.

There is no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense of "leaving the workforce for good" as in English. Having a purpose in life is so important in Japanese culture that our idea of retirement simply doesn't exist there.
