Sidewalks are missing there but there are plenty in town. I used to live in two of the streetcar suburbs: Newton Ma, and Brookline Ma. They are indeed more urban than suburban in many spots, but again, proximity matters. Those places feel m

Right. I find this whole topic reductive in general. Specifics matter quite a bit. I don't disagree with some of the article but it feels very gloomy compared to suburban life I see around me.

I think you're right about people in proximity along the walk. Always liked that about Manhattan. But even in Manhattan, I didn't regularly stop to chat with strangers. Maybe I stopped to grab coffee along the way. To your point,

Something I don't see mentioned often in this discussion: what's a "long distance" Is there a formal measure or comprehensive view on that question? I lived in Manhattan (NYC). Walked a mile at a time (or more) without t

Ah. Got it. Thanks!

Not a doctor but I might go further and say possibly avoid altogether until you come off SSRI. I have a recent experience with MDMA, a substance that also interacts with those receptors. A friend and I both tried MDMA, not first realizing t

Awesome. Thank you.

I agree. A lot of discovery there is just people writing notes and posts “how to discover and boost discoverability” - just an endless loop of growing and talking about growing without substantial non-growth content.

Honest question: does the blog have to be for other people or can I just be for you? And if people find it - great. If you are instead trying to acquire eyeballs for some reason, that’s great as well. But I don’t think you should look at it

Have any sources? I’d love to read what you are thinking about. I haven’t used psilocybin in a clinical setting but have gone through an alternative psychedelic-assisted therapy process. Very interesting results and many positives.

I haven’t trained for an Ironman but have for a marathon. I do think some metric oriented work is helpful! But I laughed at your post. Happy to see both sides.

tool comparisons -> table. Business justification and other qualitative things -> narrative. Concise direct communication skills are underrated in the corporate world. I worked in sales at one point. A favorite tip was this: ask a que

If it’s Claude - I’d love to see the prompts. This doesn’t read like AI to me. Lots of active voice. Shorter sentences. Not saying those are signals of human writing but in my experience AI writing is verbose.

Price point is a major factor. I am looking at other EVs but can’t get over how expensive some are (e.g. Taycan). Now I know there is an argument that a Porsche drives nothing like a Tesla, and sure, I believe it. (I own a Boxster). But the

I often think that executive level work is about changing the executive team and writing memos about changing the executive team. Then there’s a different team with different members and they begin the cycle again. Repeat over and over agai

I love this. My older daughter draws so many funny looking characters and stick figures. I’ll show her and I’m sure she will light up seeing her drawings come to life.

How do you like Model Y so far? I am eyeing that and a Rivian. The newest Y design is great (outside) and the price is where I want it. But I can’t help thinking that it will break the second I complete my signature for purchase/lease.

To each their own - I think you're missing out. I do both. But why I like a spotter: someone to coax another rep (or two) out of you. I'll coach them on that point in advance, too.

Easy one: you are about to lift something and need a spot. "Hi, can I ask you for a spot?" - hard to argue w/premise of ask and many people would be happy to assist you and see you achieve whatever goal you have for that lift

Exactly. My older daughter is on a competitive cheerleading team. Not something we (parents) suggested but instead she found through school friends. She loves it. Has boosted her confidence and athletic prowess. There aren't many dads

I’m with you mostly. Some different specifics but the point in mind is this: it’s a common thread of rapport and conversation. I sometimes feel like an alien on earth when I spend time with friends or other groups where there seems to be a

Ture, but also, know that sometimes that just happens - the kids want to be solo, not talk, etc. Easy to kill yourself thinking you need to be perfect.

Are the 9pm and later calls w/Bangalore an every day thing? Here's my routine. 5am: wake up/coffee 5:30ish: gym 6:30ish: back, clean kitchen, take out trash, make lunch for 2 kids 7:30: nanny arrives, and I sit down at desk,

Not just boards. I’ll argue any deliverable. Part of what makes corp life so inefficient is that lack of unified approach. Working with a company where many of C-suite folks operate in normal corp world: Office 365. Slides, spreadsheets, th

Can you speak more to the psychoactive and cognition impacts to you in specifics? Very interested. I am a regular coffee drinker, mostly limited to very early morning (e.g. 5-7 am). Also consume celsius here and there when I want to minimiz
