There's no substitute for curiosity

I have often lamented the fact that I don’t have multiple lifetimes to:
- pursue all my interests deeply
- to fall in love a million times
- to learn every language and culture
- to get to know every human deeply
- to finally read all the books that I have bought that are collecting dust on my shelf

Love that tribes has 24 as one of the group size options

That feels like the right number for a good group chat. Not too big but big enough to be dynamic and interesting

Everyone is creative 

(stop lying to yourself and let your creativity flow)

There’s no standard way to measure creativity 

Be creative in whatever way that feels expressive and enjoyable to you

There’s a lot of beauty in the mundane everyday things if you allow yourself to see it

Most problems are encountered long after the seeds of the issue has been planted. Sometimes "fixing" the problem is less about fixing the symptom and more about root causing and discovering the underlying reason why its happening. It feels like often you start really by understand the issue at hand, at a deeper level before you can even think about what's going on. 

However, root causing the issue is, but honestly, a lot of work -- because if forces you to really understand in as much as depth as possible today (with today's knowledge) why something is happening, and you constantly have to doubt what you know, and go deeper into the problem. And sometimes you don't have enough time, or don't have enough domain knowledge, or we collectively as a species don't know of a better way to solve that problem yet

If you have the choice, it’s far better to identify and address the root cause of an issue

Rather than just treat the symptoms 

It’s a much healthier and more fulfilling way to go about life
