These 3 articles I read today were helpful in triangulating a coherent life philosophy that is exactly the opposite of mine. Gotta drop some orange cones and flares around this memeplex and go around it.

Something something “slow and steady internally coherent idea wins the race” meme is in the air 🤔 Paul Graham: paulgraham.com/genius.html Joe Edelman: notion.so/humsys/Turtleo Gabe Duquette: lipoblog.wordpress.com/2019/11/28/ide
I’m going to call this the Chosen One theory. Genuinely being this way puts you in the running for being the Chosen One in some story, whether or not you intend to/hope for such a fate.

Lol. Venkat peers into the looking glass. :) Don’t worry about it though, the crucial (and possibly entire) role of a writer in society is to be, eventually, proven wrong.

Didn’t find PG’s article that compelling. Baseball cards are basically bus tickets. He writes about this particular topic every few years. This article seems to be a stirred pot/amalgamation of his previous ideas.

I would love to hear how your approach to work differs from Graham’s. I don’t quite agree with him either but can’t articulate why. Working on lots of interesting things seems like sound advice
