Some of these names didn't shock me. But really @TimFerrissShow?

@TimFerrissShow ??

that book is sooo 2002 lol Socrates & Jesus vs Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power Read full article here: x.com/wyomingiliad/status/20… 1. Never Outshine the Master Socrates: "I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do. In this trifling particular, then, I appear to be wiser than he, because I do not fancy I know what I do not know" (from Apology). This emphasizes humble self-knowledge over strategic subservience. Example: During his trial in Athens, Socrates boldly questioned the authorities and "masters" of the city, refusing to flatter them or dim his wisdom, which led to his conviction—choosing virtue and truth over preserving hierarchy. Jesus: "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:25-28). Example: Jesus washed his disciples' feet (John 13), an act of a servant outshining the "master" role by demonstrating humility, directly subverting hierarchical power dynamics. 2. Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How to Use Enemies Socrates: "Justice consists in helping your friends when they are just and harming your enemies when they are unjust? But is it not true that no one does wrong willingly? For if a man errs, it is through ignorance, and if we harm him, we make him worse, which is unjust. Therefore, the just man harms no one" (paraphrased from arguments in Republic Book I and Gorgias). Example: Socrates treated his accusers (enemies like Meletus) with dialectical engagement during his trial, aiming to educate them toward virtue rather than exploiting or distrusting them, showing trust in rational pursuit over utility. Jesus: "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous" (Matthew 5:43-45). Example: On the cross, Jesus prayed for his executioners ("Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" – Luke 23:34), transforming enemies through forgiveness rather than using them strategically. 3. Conceal Your Intentions Socrates: "The unexamined life is not worth living for a human being. You will hear from me the whole truth: not, however, delivered after the manner of the orators, in an artificial oration duly ornamented with words and phrases; no indeed! but you shall hear it in the words which come first to my mind" (from Apology). Example: In dialogues like Symposium, Socrates openly revealed his intentions to pursue wisdom collectively, never hiding motives, which fostered genuine philosophical inquiry rather than manipulation. Jesus: "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person" (Matthew 5:37-39). Example: In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus publicly declared his mission to fulfill the law through love, without concealment, even when it provoked opposition from religious leaders. 4. Always Say Less Than Necessary Socrates: "I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue come money and every other good of man, public as well as private" (from Apology). Example: Socrates engaged in lengthy public dialogues (as in Euthyphro), speaking extensively to expose ignorance and promote virtue, rather than withholding words for power. Jesus: "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken" (Matthew 12:34-36). Example: Jesus taught in parables and sermons at length (e.g., the Parable of the Sower in Mark 4), revealing truths abundantly to guide followers toward repentance and love. 5. So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard It with Your Life Socrates: "Are you not ashamed of heaping up the greatest amount of money and honor and reputation, and caring so little about wisdom and truth and the greatest improvement of the soul, which you never regard or heed at all? And if the person with whom I am arguing, says: Yes, but I do care; then I do not leave him or let him go at once; but I proceed to interrogate and examine and cross-examine him" (from Apology). Example: Socrates ignored his tarnished reputation as a "corrupter of youth" during his trial, accepting death to uphold virtue, showing reputation as worthless compared to soul-improvement. Jesus: "Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. But blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven" (Luke 6:26; Matthew 5:11-12). Example: Jesus endured false accusations and a damaged reputation as a blasphemer, culminating in his crucifixion, prioritizing divine truth over public image. 6. Court Attention at All Costs Socrates: "I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy, exhorting anyone whom I meet and saying to him after my manner: You, my friend,—a citizen of the great and mighty and wise city of Athens,—are you not ashamed of heaping up the greatest amount of money and honor and reputation?" (from Apology). Example: Socrates avoided public spectacles, focusing on private conversations to teach virtue, even when it drew unwanted attention leading to his trial. Jesus: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen" (Matthew 6:5-6). Example: Jesus often withdrew to pray alone (e.g., in the Garden of Gethsemane), shunning attention-seeking, and taught quietly in homes or on hillsides. 7. Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit Socrates: "Virtue is knowledge, and if a man knows what is good, he will do it. But no one errs willingly; errors come from ignorance. Therefore, we must teach and share wisdom openly, not claim it as our own" (from Protagoras and Meno). Example: In Republic, Socrates credits ideas to others like Glaucon, fostering collaborative pursuit of virtue without hogging glory. Jesus: "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant" (Mark 10:42-43). Example: Jesus performed miracles himself (e.g., feeding the 5,000 in John 6) but credited God, and sent disciples to work while instructing them to serve humbly. 8. Make Other People Come to You – Use Bait If Necessary Socrates: "No one does wrong willingly, but through ignorance of the good. Therefore, I go about the city, questioning and teaching, to help others discover virtue within themselves" (from Apology). Example: Socrates actively sought out people in the marketplace for dialogues, not baiting them but genuinely guiding toward self-knowledge. Jesus: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29). Example: Jesus traveled to seek the lost (e.g., visiting Zacchaeus in Luke 19), offering genuine invitation without manipulative bait. 9. Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument Socrates: "Let us then take up the argument from the beginning. What is justice? Speaking the truth and paying one's debts? But is that always just? Suppose a friend deposits weapons with you when sane, but asks for them back when mad—should you return them? No, for that would harm him" (from Republic Book I). Example: Socrates used extended arguments in his trial to defend justice, believing reasoned discourse, not mere actions, leads to virtue. Jesus: "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit" (Matthew 7:16-17). Example: Jesus combined actions (healing the blind) with arguments (debates with Pharisees in John 9), using both to reveal truth. 10. Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky Socrates: "It is better to suffer injustice than to commit it, for the wrongdoer harms his own soul more than the wronged. Therefore, engage with all, even the miserable, to guide them toward virtue through knowledge" (from Gorgias). Example: Socrates associated with troubled figures like Alcibiades, teaching them despite their flaws, to improve their souls. Jesus: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:3-5). Example: Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners (Mark 2:15-17), embracing the "unlucky" to offer healing and redemption. 11. Learn to Keep People Dependent on You Socrates: "The greatest good is the improvement of the soul through virtue, which is knowledge. Teach others to find it within themselves, not to rely on you, for true wisdom is self-sufficient" (from Apology and Meno). Example: Socrates' method (maieutics) helped others "birth" their own ideas, as with the slave boy in Meno, fostering independence. Jesus: "Freely you have received; freely give. Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep" (Matthew 10:8-10). Example: Jesus empowered disciples to heal and preach independently (Luke 10), sending them out without creating dependence. 12. Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm Your Victim Socrates: "To do injustice is worse than to suffer it, for it harms the soul. Therefore, be honest always, as deception is ignorance masquerading as knowledge" (from Gorgias). Example: In Crito, Socrates refused selective escape offers, choosing honest adherence to justice over manipulative generosity. Jesus: "Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies" (Matthew 5:42-44). Example: Jesus healed the Roman centurion's servant (Matthew 8), giving generously without selectivity or disarming intent. 13. When Asking for Help, Appeal to People's Self-Interest Socrates: "We ought not to retaliate or render evil for evil to anyone, whatever evil we may have suffered from him. But I would have you consider, Crito, whether you really mean what you are saying" (from Crito). Example: Socrates appealed to Crito's sense of justice and virtue for help in deciding his fate, not self-interest. Jesus: "Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them" (Luke 6:31-32). Example: In asking disciples to follow him, Jesus appealed to their desire for righteousness, not personal gain (Matthew 4:19). 14. Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy Socrates: "A true friend seeks the good of the other through shared pursuit of virtue. Deception has no place, as no one errs willingly—ignorance must be met with honest dialogue" (from Lysis). Example: Socrates' friendships, like with Plato, were transparent, focused on mutual wisdom, not espionage. Jesus: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35). Example: Jesus called Judas a friend even at betrayal (Matthew 26:50), responding with genuine love rather than posing. 15. Crush Your Enemy Totally Socrates: "It is never right to do wrong or to requite wrong with wrong, or when we suffer evil to defend ourselves by doing evil in return. For the wrongdoer harms himself more by corrupting his soul" (from Crito). Example: Socrates refused to escape prison or harm his accusers, accepting death to avoid injustice. Jesus: "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also" (Matthew 5:38-39). Example: During his arrest, Jesus healed the ear of Malchus, whom Peter had struck (Luke 22:51), refusing to crush enemies.

Monday Quotes #005 Every Monday I'll share three quotes I came across last week: 1. "Change moves at the speed of trust" Stephen Covey 2. "Create an environment where you're free to express what you're afraid to express" @RickRubin 3. "A person's success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have" @TimFerrissShow The theme this week is "attunement," which is calibrating and adjusting in real time to someone (or something). It's different from empathy. Empathy is feeling with someone. Attunement is noticing and responding. It's more active, more relational. A therapist can be attuned to a client without feeling their pain directly. The punchline here is trust enables attunement, attunement creates safety, and safety unlocks honest expression

I’ve been a huge @TimFerrissShow fan for as long as I can remember. It was the first podcast I began listening to regularly 10 years ago. Between this clip, and the one about fake audiences molding and influencing us online, I cannot wait to watch this full interview because it sounds like it’s going to be a great one

Well done. I've also used lock boxes and it was a game changer. As @TimFerrissShow would advertise it, one of the best purchases under $50 amazon.com/iphone-lock-box/s…

Inspired by @Ben_Reinhardt I'm kicking off a new ritual! Every Monday I'll share three quotes I came across last week 1. "Your personality is revealed through your weekends" @tylercown from Talent book. I guess this means my personality is "diligently processing 100s of Chrome tabs" 🫡 2. "Staying up late is just borrowing productivity from tomorrow" @TimFerrissShow on @arthurbrooks podcast. I do my best work from 10pm - 2am...but this isn't sustainable with kids that wake up at 7am. I'm debating a hard pivot to becoming a "9 to 5 guy," in bed by 9pm and up at 5am 3. "Be jealous of the inputs, not the outputs" @SahilBloom. This is quietly profound. The greatest thief of joy for me has always been comparison. I get jealous real fast of outputs (wealth, fitness, achievements, etc). What would it look like to be jealous of inputs (agency, # of workouts, work ethic, etc) instead?

Don’t bring @jordanbpeterson into this! 😉

This is why it's important to make your bed.

Best advice on the internet today.

CORRECT!

Systems are better than goals. @ScottAdamsSays talks about this. @TimFerrissShow talks about this. Smart people know this. Wise people put it into practice.

this may be the 1 theory underneath your 4 parts. @DavidDeutschOxf cc @naval @TimFerrissShow

This @TimFerrissShow episode with @MrJamesNestor was pretty eye opening. His book ‘Breath’ was great as well. open.spotify.com/episode/5P7…

I watched Kevin Kelly’s conversation with @TimFerrissShow and pulled out the ideas that really matter. “The future will be a billion tiny possibilities — not one big prediction.” Kevin Kelly, founding editor of @WIRED and one of tech’s most respected futurists, says something powerful in his interview with Tim Ferriss: “We are constantly underestimating how many new choices technology gives us.” 1. The future won’t be centralized — it will be massively distributed. Kevin explains that the most important trend of the next 20 years is the explosion of options — new tools, new interfaces, new ways to experience reality. Instead of one dominant platform, we’ll have millions of micro-realities people can step into. This includes: •personalized layers on the physical world •creator-built micro-worlds •on-demand immersive experiences It’s the opposite of dystopia — it’s abundance of choice. 2. “Attention will matter more than ownership.” Kevin says the real value in the next era isn’t controlling things — it’s directing attention to meaningful places, ideas, and experiences. This maps perfectly to: •interactive cities •location-based storytelling •digital layers tied to real-world spaces Where people focus becomes the new currency. 3. “We will live in a world we co-create.” One of Kevin’s biggest ideas: “The future is something we build together, not something that just happens.” He predicts a rise in participatory realities, where people shape the digital layer of the world around them — not just consume it. This is exactly where spatial computing, AR layers, and creator-powered digital worlds are heading.

My massive improvement in health/fitness over the past 5 years is due to experimentation and using what works for me from the excellent folks below: @foundmyfitness @AJA_Cortes @kneeovertoesguy @TimFerrissShow @PeterAttiaMD @hubermanlab @DrAndyGalpin It’s Sunday, go to the gym!

“Truth, health, and wealth in that order, because determine what’s true, make sure to maximise your health and then accumulate wealth, but don’t do it at the expense of what is true or what is good for your health." @balajis on @TimFerrissShow

@tferriss is smart AF not surprised he likes Zcash
