You can chase success. Or you can attract success to you. You can push through to a market. Or you can let one pull you in. When I first read Think and Grow Rich in 2019, I compared it with Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Richest Man in Babylon.
That's how many posts I can count. Maybe a couple extra with Substack and X. I believe it's 165 posts on the original, then 73 on Hey World, and 106 here on andys.blog, prior to now. Each one is a different little puzzle piece, a
If economics studies production and consumption, it behooves us to recognize how we are ALL economists. At minimum, we consume food and produce poop. I notice when I eat eggs and vegetables, drink lots of water, and go for jogs, my digestive system tends to be happier. The information age
When Steve Jobs advised "stay foolish," I don't think he meant to carelessly walk on the highway at a rest stop in the middle of the night to get hit by a car and destroy your right arm. Merry Christmas. My latest misadventure could have been
Dear Universe, I've never liked holidays but I've always loved Ted Chiang and hypothesizing. Now I see most precisely and clearly why. It feels like nobody else could possibly ever understand. It perfectly explains my extreme lack of success and utter devotion to Ayn Rand. This
I have discovered the E=mc^2 of the 21st century. It's simpler than Einstein's breakthrough and relies on the same method. I like the d=rt expression because just by capitalizing the D we indicate how easy of a shift it is to think like
Hi Luana and Tarek, I'm astonished that I just wrote this little paper in about 30 minutes here now. It's all rather fresh and I'm still working out implications. Just saw the tweet and got inspired. Excited to visit your conference and be part
These guys are a modern cross-section of my core texts and many of my resultant hypotheses, which is remarkable and timely because I just finished explaining yesterday how unique and special of an understanding I have hahaha Maybe it's not so wild though. On a crazy walk,
1. Seth Godin: “Consider Writing”, Graceful, The Practice. 2. Ayn Rand: Anthem, The Fountainhead, "Egalitarianism & Inflation". 3. James P. Carse: Finite and Infinite Games Almost everything I work on or say is now derivative of these underlying 7 source texts. Marvelous how my philosophy is so densely
I bolted awake at 5:30am, leaping to bang out a few draft sentences. I stumbled on my desk treadmill, brain groggily battling biology. The wonderful new Frankenstein movie had kept me up late... But clarity tore through my dreaming unconscious like a fresh crack loud in the desolate arctic
We're in slack, join here if you want! And try the episode, at least minute 5 – minute 18. Also, MUST WATCH dog show at minute 56-58 🐶. And after that conclusion I'm very seriously considering moving to Texas immediately. Or maybe it's time for
I've come to realize I'm hypersensitive. An overzealous psychiatrist might diagnose a mild combination of autism, OCD, etc. But I prefer to think of myself simply as an introverted nerd. And this is actually pretty cool. In her book Quiet, Susan Cain ponders the contours and
