This might sound crazy.
But one of the skills you NEED to learn is how to deal with a more and more illiterate society full of emotionally dysregulated people.
If you keep getting frustrated every day over how "ďumb" everything/everyone seems, the stress of it is going to wreck your mind.

This is my thesis: no one uses AI. I repeat, absolutely no one. We live in a bubble.
Even among my friends who pay for it, when I ask them to open ChatGPT and show me their queries, it’s the same handful of basic things.
Most don’t even know they can upload a photo and ask questions about it. Connecting Gmail so an agent can read and send emails blows their minds. An agent opening a browser and checking them into a flight? They’ve never even heard of it.
The massive challenge right now is adoption, and then getting people who already signed up to actually use what they’re paying for. Most have absolutely zero clue what’s possible.
Imagine the compute shortage when everyone starts using AI like the top 1% of users do today.
98% of US households aren't paying for AI yet

Another good reason to not drive in Singapore.
We don't really need cars in Singapore when we can easily take a Grab or Tada everywhere.
I don't want my man to be driving and spending time trying to find a place to park car when we can just hop off a car and go anywhere we want without needing to find our way back. And we can enjoy a glass or 3.
I'll be grumpy if I have to spend weekends waiting for the car to be washed. 😄
Singapore, we’re on our way 🇸🇬 Our vehicles will arrive later this year, and will begin mapping and learning Singapore’s roads in early 2027 before fully autonomous ride-hailing arrives in 2028.

Esta es una variante de tipo de trastorno de la personalidad narcisista de tipo víctima (también llamada narcisista vulnerable). A diferencia del narcisista grandioso (el clásico arrogante y extrovertido), este tipo se presenta como humilde, sensible o víctima de las circunstancias, pero mantiene el núcleo narcisista: falta de empatía real, sentido de superioridad oculto, necesidad de admiración y manipulación. Presentan una mentalidad de víctima crónica siempre se posicionan como incomprendidos, maltratados o desafortunados. Hipersensibles a la crítica y al rechazo, conductas pasivo-agresivo, envidia, hostilidad y problemas interpersonales graves.
Psychologists have identified a personality trait they call the Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood. It includes four main components: the need for recognition, moral elitism, a lack of empathy, and rumination.

your brain is always becoming better at whatever you repeatedly do. that’s why repetition changes people more than motivation ever will. if you spend every day stressing, overthinking, comparing yourself to strangers online, replaying old mistakes, and expecting the worst, your brain slowly starts treating those patterns like home. it begins scanning the world for more proof that you’re not enough, that life is against you, that things won’t work out. the scary part is your brain doesn’t care if the pattern is helping you or destroying you. it only cares about what gets repeated.
but the same thing works in your favor too. when you repeatedly choose discipline, growth, gratitude, focus, and belief in yourself, your brain slowly reshapes around those things as well. at first it feels unnatural because your old patterns are louder, but over time your perspective changes. challenges stop feeling like signs to quit and start feeling like part of the process. your mind becomes whatever it practices most. so be careful what you keep giving your attention to because eventually, your thoughts become your reality.

you need to be delusionally optimistic
negative thinking poisons your brain and leads to congitive decline
whereas positive thinking, and gaslighting yourself into thinking everything is amazing, ACTUALLY makes your life amazing too.
you must be a silly goose
Always always always respond to bids for connection
If not, it’s a done deal
Chemistry is the worst predictor of long-term relationship success and dating apps spent 15 years optimizing for it.
John Gottman ran a 40-year couples research program out of the University of Washington. The original study tracked 130 newlyweds and predicted divorce with 93.6% accuracy from observing a single 15-minute disagreement. The variable doing the predicting is contempt frequency. Eye rolls. Sarcastic corrections. Dismissive sighs during conflict.
Stable couples maintain a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions during disagreement. Below 1:1, divorce becomes statistically near-certain.
Six years after the wedding, couples who stayed together turned toward each other's bids for attention 86% of the time. Couples who divorced did it 33% of the time. The behavior is tiny: asking a question, sharing a thought, looking up when the other person walks in. The signal is enormous.
Chemistry measures novelty response and dopamine. It captures how someone behaves when both of you are excited and the lighting is good. By month 18 neither condition holds. Then the predictive behaviors finally surface: how they treat you when they're tired, sick, or losing an argument.
Dating apps optimize for the metric with the lowest predictive validity in the entire field. Attraction is what gets you to swipe. Contempt patterns don't show up on a profile.

i am honestly shocked that singapore is the #1 country in the world in AI usage
like dyou know how crazy that is? population of 6m using more AI than USA (300+mm pop)
🇸🇬 Singapore vs 🇮🇩 Indonesia on Claude AI usage — straight from Anthropic’s Economic Index (March 2026).
Singapore ranks #1 out of 116 countries with a 5.53x usage index. Indonesia sits at #95 with just 0.30x.
That’s a massive 18x gap.
In SG 🇸🇬, people use Claude for building/debugging AI systems, advanced scientific research, and professional business analysis.
In ID 🇮🇩, the top uses are academic assignments, creative fiction, religious/spiritual content, and data extraction.
Every day my colleagues here in Indo rave about how Claude has changed their lives. I’m glued to podcasts like Dwarkesh and TBPN, thinking that ID is on the same AI wave as the rest of the world.
Turns out… the rest of the country isn't.
It’s just today that I realized — I’ve been living in a complete bubble.
Just be dumb.
If you manage to convince yourself it’s worse than you think and end up in a spiral, you can also convince yourself that it’s better than you think and end up spiralling upward.

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology.
Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested.
Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel.
Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.
Fun-maxxing is the new meta

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.
Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.
Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"
AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

making yourself addicted to endorphins is how you stay hot forever btw! you can quite literally hijack the brain’s weakness for becoming addicted to whatever brings it pleasure and put it to work in your favor. when discipline starts morphing into euphoria, you’ll know you won.
