01

The unexamined life is not worth living (Socrates).

Outsourcing your thoughts and opinions to LLMs and podcasters has never been easier. To be ‘un-LLMable’ you have to struggle through messy human thought and introspection.

02

Do or Do Not. There is No Try (Master Yoda).

Don’t give yourself an excuse by simply “trying.” Do it, recognize if it didn’t work and keep moving.

03

Not all friction is bad.

Be intentional with friction you embrace vs. automate. Don’t miss the view by taking a helicopter up the mountain.

One thing to take away

If 5 years ago you knew that machines would talk and think, would you be on the same path you are now? We live in an Age of Wonder.
