"I belong in a place where they are wise, here, where the educated learn to rise".

Another way to know weak arguments is when folks continue shifting their point without acknowledging it. And empirically, the point they eventually anchor on is the most polarizing one because the goal isn’t to make a good argument, it’s to get attention.

Ah, also articulation is a required skill in this _agentic_ era.

My takeaway is that many people don’t actually know how to articulate themselves. I see words being used that mean a certain thing, but the conclusion the poster arrives at with the words makes no sense. A lot of the arguments have poor premises. And people are generalizing to broad negative statements when they mean a specific thing. We should do better please.

Everyone woke up with a useful motivational quote today. Well, thank you. I’m gingered 😁.

Nobody is going to discover your genius if you keep it in your head.

Consistency mehn Most people don't have the discipline and this is what separates people walahi. Go and check the greatest in your field Jefferson the Founding father and the 3rd president of america , in his letter to John Adams, identified a natural aristocracy among men, founded on virtue and talents distinct from the artificial aristocracy of wealth and privilege. I would say discipline, whether positive or negative, is the true separator. Highly Successful people are consistent. And to Jefferson's point, you cannot cultivate any virtue or talent without discipline.

Stop treating your capabilities like personality traits and start treating them like construction projects.

The cost of avoiding structure is that every day has to be renegotiated from scratch.

Anyone know a cheaper alternative to speechace.com?

Not bad at all… 😀🚀

People are capable of far more than they think, on far shorter timelines. Problems expand to fill the time you give them.

A sign of good writing (to me) is that I pick up something by accident and I can’t stop reading. Fantastic delivery.

First thing I do with a long thread is scroll to the end to see if the author’s trying to sell me something.
