The key to a successful life is to embrace reality. Constructed worlds are a form of kryptonite – draining us of our life force and leaving us addicted to jam instead of fruit. Does anyone else feel similarly? https://notes.lauraevans.io/permanent/Prefer+reality+to+constructed+worlds

New thought algorithm: Use GPT-3 to generate disconfirming evidence for every key belief I hold. I've found this implementation of Darwin's method has helped me and add rigor to my thinking. Has anyone else tried something similar?

How do you systematically manage your attention? A few of my experiments: - Obsidian spaced repetition (see more: shorturl.at/cLRY6) - Training social media algorithms like a pet - Feedly for article consumption Our outputs reflect our inputs. Would love any suggestions!

Drafted a piece on how to pick a winning startup. Would love feedback (good or bad) if this is a topic you're interested in! https://notes.lauraevans.io/outline/How+to+pick+a+winning+startup Note: this research is from web2, but could perhaps do a web3 version at some point.

Can anyone recommend a browser extension for article summarization? Or any favorite ML-assisted writing tools? Looks doable via the GPT-3 API, but would rather not reinvent the wheel if something's already out there.

"Language is the clothing we wear online." Grateful to Toby Shorin for sharing his thoughts with kernel re: profitable belief systems and the frontier of cultural production. Lots to digest here... https://subpixel.space/entries/life-after-lifestyle/
