I feel like right now is the worst time to be idle. Stopping to smell the roses or lie on the grass when you could be spinning up agents and burning tokens means you'll be left in the dust.

- maplethorpe 6mo agoIf you read the whole fable, the hare lost because he stopped to lie in the grass. If he had just kept going, he would have won easily. It would have been embarrassing for the tortoise.
- latexr 6mo agoOh you will, will you? And what, pray tell, happens in this dust you’re left in? What’s the reward for working so hard right now? More work? What a rotten deal. It’s common for people on their death beds to wish they had spent more time relaxing. It’s not common for anyone to wish they had spent more time working. The sentiment you’re expressing has been sold to us for a long time, way before “agents” were a thing. “You have to work harder, pull yourself by your bootstraps, build a company, spend all your free time on side projects, …”. It’s a grift designed to keep you busy, selfish, and brain dead, oblivious to your own condition and the state of the world. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
