i didn't realize vibecamp is 45 mins from me. should i go??
Jun 13
still on the fence about vibecamp. at this point the main issue is i’m nervous i won’t be able to physically handle the logistics. i haven’t flown in 3 years. my diet remains very annoyingly restrictive in a way that makes it hard to be confident i’ll be able to get enough to eat in unfamiliar places (this is a large part of why i haven’t flown in 3 years). i always sleep like complete shit at vibecamp and i’m way more sensitive to sleep deprivation than i used to be
on the other hand i’ve been isolated from nearly all social contact for way too long. i need to be around people i can talk to. and things are moving so fast now that god knows what anything will be like a year from now. i feel like i need to be plugged into the network in a way i can’t get online
idk how to weigh these at all. help?

Couldn’t disagree with this more.
Yes, short term “ignore your mood and stick with the plan” may squeeze out some productivity gains.
But long term, by actually learning to tune into your mood, you will learn to understand the messages your heart is trying to send you.
In time, you will learn how to create plans that speak so deeply to what your heart cares about, that your mood will naturally sing in tune with them.
Your mood is not some wayward horse to be tamed by brute will.
It is the metronome of out heart’s deepest music and is always politely letting us know when we are dancing out of time.

I haven't tried asking any model in about two years, but today asked Claude (Sonnet 4.6 Max Thinking) and it got it right: claude.ai/share/838a3eb4-7b5…

My recommendation for young academics is to use their intellectual sincerity (rather than institutional feedback) as a long-term navigation guide. It's OK to be a bit tactical/cynical when you're young, because the institution is putting impossible demands on you, but over the long term insincerity will destroy your creativity and your true chances of success.

Choosing a destination as a means of setting shorter term priorities is a bad idea. It makes it hard to discover your mistake until you're dead.
Hash out what you want NOW—much rarer & harder than it sounds—and think about the long term as one of many ways of criticising that.

I love this essay 💚 It reminds me of Mary Oliver: “Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”
For some lucky people, writing is the marker of living 💚

"life is somewhat about separateness... sometimes life is kind of about loneliness, and kind of about misunderstanding, and about distance, and that is a full rich experience that one can open to as much as a more connected good gooey warm experience."
