friendly ambitious nerd () condensed into 3 talking points /essays would be
1. practice good reply game
2. do 100 things
3. inhabit a nexus of questions
i'm still riffing on the 3rd one, "ask questions" too reductive, "inhabit a nexus" is a bit clunky

I suspect the third point would be clearer if it had a word like "curious" in it. Something about the difference between questioning to reinforce your world view vs questioning to expand or alter world view.

Because asking questions isn't inherently good. Encouraging people to "question everything" is a way to keep people running in circles. Telling the difference isn't a skill we tend to cultivate in people.

Don’t waste this period asking age-old questions everybody has been spending 99% of their youth asking through all history. Triage them, get to good enough, and find *new* questions that *few* people are asking. The more average you are, the more crucial this hack.
