I was expecting more like, "translate it into many languages your website users won't keep updating and give them access to edit your site's design freely as they see fit..."

Very nice article as I’ve felt the same.

Throughout my 20’s I’ve accumulated a huge amount of mental models, diary entries, ambitions, goals, knowledge, thoughts, interests and everything in-between.

It helped me a lot and truly let me excel in some things – surprisingly enough.

Since I turned 30 last year I’ve almost sort of been afraid to look into that repository whatsoever. It’s a mix of amusement and anxiety. What felt like unlimited potential and a nearing of the “apex”, my motivation is still there somewhere in my head, but I’ve suppressed it and opened my eyes to almost half of my life being lived.

Sometimes I’m even afraid to stop and think deeply like I tended to do before. I distract myself.

Was that a some sort of a religion carrying me week by week month to month?

I take it step-by-step, day by day now and try to worry less while bringing back the focus of what I’d want to achieve. I calm myself down and work on things more gradually, cutting myself some slack.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t just delete it all.

Instead I’m just using it less and less, only adding some truly profound things and thoughts when I come across them. My reading list keeps filling up… I fulfill some of my ambitions, but also leave many of them undone by the time I thought I should’ve been done with them trying not to not feel bad about it.

This techno-masochistic models-oriented mega-productive way of living is already perhaps disillusioning a lot of people out there, and we are entering the next stage.

Feels like end of an era, at least for me personally.

To me this looks like a false dichotomy. Writing beautifully and having a good argument are not mutually exclusive. So I think the article sets out a false proposition and discusses it at length.

Even here people don’t seem to realize, or even consider the likely fact that Klarna CEO has been bullsh**ing all along. I read a hugely viral post of them replacing their entire CRM with AI. It’s ridiculous to me people took that seriously!

This is very similar to the ”boundary condition” for the scientific method and the craziness of ”teaching business” in schools. I wrote my thoughts too about this at some point: https://sentience.lostbookofsales.com/essays/scientific-meth...

Not by Buffett, but you'll love Poor Charlie's Alamanack, by Charlie Munger, his lifelong business partner.

For Buffett I recommend Essays of Warren Buffett. Regarding Munger’s Almanack, I wrote a nice summary just before his death:

”A real estate investment of $24 by the Dutch to buy the island of Manhattan would today be roughly equivalent to $3 trillion. Across 378 years, that’s about a seven percent annual compound rate of return…”

Amazing how we keep searching for meaning and purpose, a direction in our lives. I guess this is something eternal and universal.
