  • I think a lot of these questions get into philosophical territory, which even when correct isn’t particularly useful.

    To me, how much wealth you have shouldn’t be linked to anything but how much money you’ve made. The amount of money you e made should be proportional to the impact you’ve has on the world and others. I don’t see a problem with someone being a billionaire if they did something that impacted a billion people lives and collected a dollar for it.

    The bigger problem I see is that the current system rewards folks for doing anything that makes money. It also prioritizes money to the point that it’s a virtue. So effectively you tell folks you matter more if you have more money, and don’t put constraints on making money.

    So I guess it’s seems pretty true that "behind every great fortune is a great crime ", but it doesn’t have to be the case. Which is. 100% useless statement. ¯_(ツ)_/¯


  • I’ve found that I need 4 things to wake up consistently

    1. Wake up early, it helps if you’re forced to, work meetings, class, meet up, whatever you need
    2. No naps, and getting up at the same time consistently
    3. Manage my stress, a combination of working out consistently and managing work stress
    4. Good sleep hygiene, if I’m exhausted but hit a good part in a book I’ll stay up. So it’s boring books, blue light blocking on devices, and grey scale and low brightness on my phone

    Honestly having a kid and a job helped a bunch. Ultimately you’ll get up if you need to.
