"People who succeed reach decisions promptly, and change them (if at all) very slowly.
"People who fail reach decisions (if at all) very slowly, and change them quickly and frequently.
Indecision and procrastination are twin brothers. Where one is found, the other is usually to be found also.
Kill off this pair before they completely hogtie you to the treadmill of failure."

"That's it, isn't it? Rules and rule changes. If you want to deeply and utterly depress someone, change the rules, and change them often. Force them to do something meaningless. Change the rules arbitrarily. That's what really demoralizes people: being imprisoned in a system of arbitrary rule changes. No hope for stability and no way out."

same with money.
some people come of age during a deep depression or excessive inflation, others during a raging bull market or generational prosperity and cheap gas, and each grows older thinking they've learned how to save and invest.
Morgan Housel probably said it best: "Your personal experiences with money make up maybe 0.00000001% of what's happened in the world, but maybe 80% of how you think the world works."

from Alex Berg:
"When evaluating the claim of deep bag-biased Quantum agitpropagandists, it’s always more useful to look at what they are NOT telling you.
Recent claims suggest a Quantum computer using neutral atom arrays would require only (!) ~20,000 logical qubits to break Bitcoin.
What they tell you is that this is significant because researchers at Caltech recently demonstrated a 6000 (!) logical qubits array.
What they do NOT tell you is that those qubits weren’t not entangled, which is a requirement to run Shor’s algorithm.
So what is the state of the art in terms of actually entangled logical qubits under the neutral atoms architecture? NINETY SIX (96) qubits.
How long did they maintain coherence? 1-2 seconds.
How long did the new Oratomic paper suggest the algorithm they designed should run? DAYS!
So not only must state of the art in SIMPLE qubits entanglement increase more than 2 orders of magnitude, their ability to maintain coherence across circuit depth must be preserved ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND times longer than they currently do.
Suffice to say they have no idea how to even get there but that shouldn’t get in the way of a headline worthy paper!"

new quantum fud just dropped from google ✨ well, it's not deliberate fud but it has stoked unwarranted fear
still purely theoretical, they're just projecting progress to revise their predicted timeline as per usual. great marketing strategy to stay relevant in the news cycle.
plus most bitcoin is held in addresses where the public key isn't exposed (at least not until it's spent), so this theoretical achievement would only affect those reusing addresses.
anyway, it's not nothing but it's certainly not something

"For me, there are two kinds of debts a person can incur. One kind is the material one, which can be seen and touched. It may be as small as a cup of sugar, or as large an amount of money as you can borrow. This has to be paid as soon as possible, so that your own good self-image and personal dignity will not be crushed by it.
The other kind of debt is a spiritual one. It is the one that spurs man to be better than he is, and somehow drives him to go beyond the call of need and duty. One should wear this kind of debt as a suit of shining armor. It can never be fully repaid, but you wish that it could be, with such compounded interest that it would be beyond the wealth of Midas.
I used to envy people who say, 'I don't owe anyone anything!' Now I only feel great pity for those people because they've cut themselves off from the world and human society. How lonely they must be!"

Not even Jonathan Swift would dare to write a satire in which politicians argued that – in a world where species are vanishing and more than a billion people are barely able to afford to eat – it would somehow be good for the planet to clear rainforests to grow palm oil, or give up food-crop land to grow biofuels, solely so that people could burn fuel derived from carbohydrate rather than hydrocarbons in their cars, thus driving up the price of food for the poor.

"The role of war in advanced societies now lies elsewhere. Twenty-four-hour news media generate a chronic state of low-intensity anxiety together with a tranquillizing sense of security. Shaping a perception of the world as endemically dangerous, a landscape of terror can be projected anywhere via television screens, laptops and mobile devices. This landscape frames the view of the world, while those who inhabit it are enclosed in a zone of safety. More than on any other single factor, the stability of advanced societies depends on how perceptions are shaped by the media"

"well we haven't actually SEEN a black hole, it's all data and calculations based on information captured by sensors"
"i don't like being dependent on these car backup cameras, we should be used to looking around on our own"
people i know have said these two things
they think seeing has something to do with our eyes when it's is actually something our brain does. sight is what your brain says information looks like. our eyes have limited sensing capability, but we can extend those senses with devices that can perceive and process more, and different, information for us to receive. senses are extensible. in the end it's all information.
mostly, though, i think many people like to embrace human limitations because it lowers expectations and creates an excuse to live a simple, low-agency life.

important lesson regarding a penguin in a zoo in Norway from the book 'Dietrich Mateschitz: Wings for People and Ideas: Red Bull and Viktor Frankl’s search for meaning':
"I felt sorry for it: Do you have to wear that tuxedo? Where's your waist, then? And above all: Did God forget your knees? I had already reached my verdict: Faulty design. And then I took another look through the glass panel into the penguins' swimming pool. Suddenly 'my' penguin leapt into the water and swam right up to my face. Anyone who has ever seen penguins under water is simply speechless. It was in its element! A penguin is ten times more streamlined than a Porsche! With a liter of gas it would be able to travel the equivalent of over 2,500 kilometers! They are excellent swimmers and hunters, and they can dance in the water! And I thought: 'Faulty design!' ... We all have our strengths and our weaknesses. Many people try for ages to eliminate their weak points. If you improve your weaknesses you will be at best mediocre. But if you strengthen your strengths you will be unique. And those who are not like the others can take comfort: There are plenty of others! ... People only rarely succeed in changing themselves completely and fundamentally. If you were born a penguin, even seven years of psychotherapy will not turn you into a giraffe. So don't waste your time refusing to accept your fate: If you are a penguin, don't stay in the steppe. Take one small step at a time and find your water. And then: Jump in! And swim! And you will know what it means to be in your element."
