Herbert borrows from Lawrence of Arabia in general in Dune but there’s also some little things:

- Learning to ride a camel (sandworm)

- Getting his name El Aurens like Muaddib

- Water discipline 

- TE Lawrence does his own weird Gom Jabbar thing

Fitness

Pro tip: you won’t start to enjoy exercise until you’ve given up on the idea that you can enjoy it

One of those “if you’re looking for it you’ll never find it” things

The joy comes from building the discipline to know that no matter what, you’re going to take the steps to better yourself

You won’t care about enjoying it, you’ll just do what you need to do to improve

Then one day you’ll miss a workout cause you’re busy or life of whatever, and when you finally get back in the gym you’ll catch yourself smiling and think, “damn. I really like this shit”

And you’ll wonder when that happened, and at some point trying to figure it out you’ll realize your rest time is up and you’ve got to do the next set

And then my ears will start ringing cause every time a new person enjoys exercise a trainers ears ring (kinda like how when a bell rings a angel gets its wings)

Underrated how much of a life hack it is to be able to subordinate your brain. 

Exercise is probably the most  accessible and meaningful way to do this that you can start to translate into other things

Let’s see Bryan Johnson’s T compared to the NPR hosts

And then “accidentally” provide a delta on it vs every NPR host from that one episode

just saw a video of a girl who accidentally attached her OBGYN referral letter instead of her CV for a job application and suddenly i'm feeling so grateful that my CV mistake was just a number typo

Great #grindset move for guys is to “accidentally” attach your last T lab test to your job application

politics

Btw you can just look up the episodes of Chapo/cumtown/left podcasts in 2019/early 2020 explicitly acknowledging the obviousness that Biden was absolutely gone and everybody knew it. It was retconned that he was kind of fine AFTER the 2020 election

Where was this reporting 18-24 months ago?

https://www.wsj.com/politics/biden-white-house-age-function-diminished-3906a839

Literally everybody from far right to center right to far left acknowledged Biden being pretty much out of it since the 2020 Dem primary.

The center left mainstream libs were the only ones saying he was fine, despite literally everybody knowing the opposite.

This is one of a long line of examples that should give you insight about how mainstream libs have no actual opinions at all and will say literally anything to maintain power. 

This isn’t so much an indictment of those specific people as it is a revelatory statement about who actually has power

Looks like Argentina is already beating some of the short term side effects of the Milei changes.

What is the steelman argument on why Milei is bad, these changes are bad, and why they will fail?

Buddy there is literally one religion that was started by Jesus. It’s called Roman Catholicism. QED.

>Lutheran in bio

In terms of what she has to say can be important for policy, sure, yes. 

In terms of considering her a thought leader or she has any valuable insights that further American life, no, that’s a completely dead end without very very significant changes on her part

If you genuinely care what Elizabeth Warren has to say I do not know what to say to you. 

Your brain is gone

Thanks, Hobart’s stuff is always great, haven’t read this book though. 

I just don’t see how I’m misinterpreting this…458 in millions of dollars should be 458 billion. Maybe a better question for the authors lol

Where is this from? When I look at FRED data I see 460k (millions of dollars) at the end of 1972
