paul graham lives in his own bubble, what's the point of this article?

Generally a short newsletter worth subscribing. Chris Burkard's work is so inspiring to me, interesting to read about his routine

People are often looking for complex solutions to their problems that a healthy relationship with the outdoors may be able to help alleviate.

"You should realize that yes, experts will sometimes lie to you. But (with a few exceptions) they usually don’t do this out of lack of concern for your own welfare. Instead, they do it out of lack of regard for your truth-handling abilities. You’re probably not being punked; you’re being babied. So if and when you go fact-checking the experts’ recommendations, remember that they probably do have their assessment of your own best interests in mind. Think of them as an overprotective parent, not as an enemy."

Too often we forget about the victims of geo political wars and sanctions: the people.

Sanctions if used only and selected against evil dictators and their friends seem to be a good balance. However, sanctions against entire countries affect the people more than their leaders and therefore to more harm than good. Syrica, Iran, Venezuale are some examples.

I think we need to openly discuss the agendas behind geo political wars and sanctions to avoid them and move more towards a primarily pacifistic world.

Great background article to two trending articles here on readup

When talking about the 30% rule, I think it's a really good way to prevent ghettos and ensure proper integration into the society. China is a good example that it works interestingly well..

Everyone will have an ergonomic home office in the future - indeed a big big market

One of the most renowned medical journals "The Lancet" criticizes the PCR test. The test is very sensitive, but that is exactly the problem. 50-75% of those tested positive are not infectious because too small virus fragments are detected without any pathogenicity.

I read about the Iyy Lee method some time ago, I needed a short reminder to plan the next day the evening before and prioritize properly. Recommend "The Ivy Leed Method" to everyone you probably don't need nothing else to be productive besides this technique.

Love it, well written and the article really conveyed the 80's business atmosphere where it was about work ethic over the self improvement syndrome of today :-)

interesting, I came across this after having experienced a significant increase of focus after listening to isochronic focus music on YouTube.

Read it years ago, great to resurface

focus on maro; and I'd add health

Inflation is a real risk for everyone saving cash. #Bitcoin

Absolute must read for everyone who is interested in surveillance, encrypted communication, and obviously for everyone deleting WhatsApp and Facebook in favor of Signal. I’m a user of Telegram since 2014 and I understand and trust What Durov is doing. Please do me a favor and invite your friends to Telegram NOT Signal. Feel free to send me a message on Telegram @mariusschober or follow me @schobers. The world needs Telegram and people like Pavel Durov more than ever before.

Cold shower and breathing exercise before going to bed - sounds uncomfortable, let's do it

Great density of useful information to improve productivity. This year I plan to track and use my time more wisely which is why I found this article in the first place.

Eine liberale Partei und liberales Denken brauchen wir jetzt mehr alls je zuvor weshalb ich die FDP als auch die Sozialliberalen unterstütze.

It sucks to be in the position of Jack Dorsey but this was in my opinion the absolute wrong decision in many different ways.

Once wrote and published a blog post every single day. I learned a TON while doing so. Especially to write eloquent texts effortlessly. This article encouraged me to continue this practice.

As a European I'd like seeing Miami gain in significance in technology. It's only a 10h non-stop flight from many major European cities like London, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and I really like Miami as a city.

Maybe other mayors of Southern EU cities like Malaga, Palma, Nice, Malta, or Iraklion must look at Francis Suarez and create a similar movement here!

Konservativer Führungsstil wird in den kommenden Jahren wichtiger denn je, das ganze Duzen und das "Feel Well" Political Correctness wird einige Firmen in den Untergang zwingen, dafür schätze ich Herrn Grupp.

I'll definitely walk even more in 2021:

• calls while walking,
• walking meetings,
• walking to the office (6km/1h)

Takeaway: The CEO works on the business

Rating: (9/10)

Thought: One of the BEST articles on what a CEO should actually be doing. Not working in the business but on the business.

I'm just getting started but I already defined my tasks as a future CEO to every board member and future investor: (1) securing funding, (2) getting the deal-flow, (3) recruiting the best talent, (4) setting an exciting vision.

Takeaway: Build your own mindful productivity system which works for you - not others

Rating: (6/10)

Thought: Yes. I understand. There is a lot of advice out there which may be labeled as productivity porn. And I agree, Everyone should have his own schedule, his own rituals and habits. Just copying other persons productivity tips and habits won't necessarily make you productive.

I am right now in the experimentation phase where I try and copy many different elements of role models to see how they impact my productivity. In the end I'll end up with my own mindful productivity rules - which I can then stick to until the rest of my life.

Takeaway: Understand the other side's arguments better than they do, by doing so correct your bad ideas to come closer to reality.

Rating: (8/10)

Thought: I started a while ago to not have public opinions on topics I don't truly understand. But obviously, all of us have our own point of views, tendencies and values we assume to be true. I will take this advice and look and understand into the other sides arguments more intensely in the future.

"You should trade being short-term low-status for being long-term high-status, which most people seem unwilling to do. A common way this happens is by eventually being right about an important but deeply non-consensus bet."

too many 'may' and 'can' in this article.

Via Negativa is one of the most important mental models

All successful founders with net worth in the billions are ruthless - that's what politicians are referring to. But without determination and a high ruthlessness-factor you cannot build successful and impactful businesses. So in the end it all comes down to political correctness and manipulating media narratives which shine negative lights on billionaires.

In the end it all comes down to "authenticity".

What a stupid experiment on humans, not sufficiently tested, no liability of pharma nor government. Every single person in politics and pharma should be held liable for all actions in this vaccination experiment (financially and custodial).
