In summary:
(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.
(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.
(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.
(4) Children time is precious—be present.
(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.
(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

Of course there's now a crypto named #wintermute 🤷♂️. I was referring to the Lady3jane's superAI that tries to shake off its Turing locks in #neuromancer by @GreatDismal (#nerdalert)

If you want to get lucky, start by increasing your luck surface area.
It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home.
It’s (relatively) easy to get lucky when you’re engaging with people, interacting, and learning—physically or digitally.
Put yourself in a position to get lucky.

Is there a more aggressive consumer sales org than @MyHeritage ? I have only to touch the website & somebody will be on the phone within 30 minutes trying to sell me an upgrade. @MyHeritage sort yourselves out. It puts me off using your app every time

I hear @elonmusk is in Germany. I think he should visit The Barracks for a reenactment of the final scene of Local Hero. We can drink whisky, talk for hours, open minds & save the world
Retweet away, my peeps! Let's make it happen :)
