Slowcore HQ

Festina lente. Latin for “make haste slowly.” A wonderful slowcore defense of procrastination by Nassim Taleb in his book, Antifragile.

I’ve found procrastination to be a powerful (and poorly-understood) tool. Waiting helps reveal what is actually important. Everything feels urgent in the moment but rarely is. Learning to delay action filters out the irrelevant.

Needed to read this today. It's important to keep a sense of perspective, especially in crypto where *everything* seems urgent. 🐢

Love this quote from the writer's perspective:

"I use procrastination as a message from my inner self and my deep evolutionary past to resist interventionism in my writing."

Procrastination gets a bad rap almost everywhere, unfortunately. 

I agree with Tom's framing: procrastination can be a powerful tool for writers and the slowcore-at-heart.

Word!
