Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

Elon Musk, Savant Idiot?

So, Musk financed the making of a very expensive electric car, thus having almost no effect on climate change. He financed a rocket for celebrity tourism and eventually redoing NASA's voyages to a big rock. Very rich people finance things. They don't do the work. They can afford to overcome mistakes because they are using their own money and are answerable to no one. He's never been a genius anymore than the owner of an NFL team is a football player.

You are incorrect. If electric cars become widespread they will have a tremendous impact on climate change. More than any other technology other than electric power generation. Electric cars are 4 to 5 times more energy efficient than gasoline models, and their source of energy is more and more renewable, with no CO2 production.

Electric cars will also be far cheaper over the life of the car when the technology matures. Fuel costs are far lower, and maintenance and longevity is much better. They…

I believe this is no longer true (though it was for a couple of years). I own a T3. It has many wildly incomplete and "buggy" behaviors which were all forgivable when this was the only game in town. Now I'm actively looking forward to an electric Audi or Merc or VW or Ford or... the list is growing rapidly.

Just the fact that there's no way to disable the car's insanely buggy (and almost always wrong) auto-steer feature which slams on the breaks or steers wildly left or right when the car (again…

Don't you just love being a beta tester for Musk? Of course the software never gets past the beta stage because he's probably always changing the specs to suit his own whims.
