The most game changing non obvious thing I’ve done is to listen to people’s recommendations. - a friend sees my Insta story of me in Chiang Mai and mentions I should check out a spot, I go check it out - friend recommends a book I should read, I order it immediately - try a restaurant? I’ll book a reservation whenever I get a chance - recommend watching a movie? I won’t watch the trailer or check IMDB, it’s directly on my watchlist Been so wholesome to do these things and then convey my feedback to friends and family. Game changing way to maintain relationships while also exploring new things!

In school, we had a single TT table. Every games class, some 30 of us would crowd around the TT table playing doubles. Rules were simple- 1. Winners continue to play 2. Losers keep shuffling out Since we just had an hour a week to play it led to everyone over optimizing to win by playing conservatively. Risk appetite to play smashes was dead. Everyone just kept playing chop shots. Except for this one dude, Abhinav who'd keep smashing every single shot he got to take. 99% of which he'd miss. Naturally, nobody wanted to partner with him because that'd lead to them losing and getting shuffled out. Until one day, when Abhinav's smashes started making contact. The rest of us were so familiar with the defensive game that not only did we not know how to hit smashes, we did't even know how to stop them. For months, it was just plain Abhinav's table while all of us slowly learned how to play and defend properly.

Everyone talks about the hot crazy matrix for women, nobody talks about the hot funny matrix for men.

A good measure of success is how many things someone has ticked off of their bucket list.

Planned a get together of based builders in Bangalore. Rules- no shop talk, get to know people beyond their work Some fun takes- 1. Basmati rice is overhyped and has a fake smell. People should try Vishnubhoj. 2. Mulki has a better surfing school for beginners than Varkala and is just 8-10 hours from Bangalore 3. Situationships are out. Dating is draining. 4. Nobody cares about AI agents and the AGI future outside of Twitter. Folks one off use Chat GPT. 5. Bumrah is goated. 6. All addictive things start off as cringe- reels, influencers, padel/pickleball. Good session. Great people. Should do more of these no-shop talk scenes!

‘Play long term games with long term people.’ Farcaster is an excellent place for that. Most people I’ve met here have been obsessed with ideas and finding ways to materialize them. Proxy even before Clanker was obsessed with ideas and people, and finding ways to bring them together.
