“F*** how they feel about me, I don’t live my life to please you” - I need a big picture on my wall with this quote. 👍

Malz Monday! Let’s see if we can get to him. Coincidently, was the song I had in my ears while I was writing this. It was too good.

I love this framework, especially how each item is an adjective, rather than a noun.

This in itself suggests there is no end-goal, but rather a state of being and moving through the world.

This is also far more powerful as an identity when it comes to the brain. Rather than carry out a full cost-benefit analysis of every decision, these priors filter out the bulk of inappropriate actions before deliberation even starts.

Thank you, Dr. Ryan! I honestly did not realize that, good callout, and a fitting coincidence. Perhaps no coincidence.

Razors make decisions faster. Faster decisions reduce friction. Friction reduces anxiety. You know the deal.

Thank you, truly. For this and more. I hope this can help some people in at least one of my little letters.
