This is the type of post I'm on nostr for. Cheers.

This is a weird one. I only remember a few except from this book but they few passages that hit were incredible. This is more like wisdom literature. Different parts of the book are important during different parts of your life. It's like a toolbox. I love the chapterless formatting too. Great read.

Thoughts about Tolstoys "The Death of Ivan Ilyich". The beginning is quite funny but ultimately a very bleak story. It chronicles the slow and painful death of an upper-middle-class bureaucrat. The dissonance between the gravity of his prognosis, his prolonged denial, fleeting flickers of hope, and the casual and carefree prattle of daily life is beautifully written. It's ultimately a meditation on an untimely death, unveiling the vanity of a conventional middle-class lifestyle. Though he was successful by societal standards, it's only in his very last hours that he had the clarity to grapple with whether his life was meaningless.

My oldest do jujitsu. Every now and again a kid really smashes him in a long round and I see him get emotional, but he always picks himself up and never backs down. It really got me today... I'm so unspeakably proud of him... I hope you find this post one day, kid.

Well said

Gm!

Agreed. This adjustment will be gnarly.

As AI does increasingly more meneal thinking, the freed up mental space will force humanity face itself. Matters of the heart have been historically diluted by necessity of laborious daily tasks.

I don't know anyone on here so I thought it be fun to announce baby #6 is on the way!

😆

#Gm nostr! In the process of moving off grid for the next few weeks. Wish me luck.

My 7 year old daughter saw a picture of a cat's eyes flashing red and she gasped and said, "Does that cat have Bitcoin?" It runs deep.

I used to wonder why so many new cars were so high up. Now I know...

Read wtwta to my kids last night. Very serendipitous.
