The hustle narcissists all vie to have Goggins on their podcast so they can worship him like a deity. This worship is a mistake. His advice on discipline should not be blindly followed, nor should his disciplined feats be copied. Instead, the core of his message should be deeply honored: we all need to do things we do not want to do to have the life we are deeply called to live.

What Would You Do if You Had Goggins-Level Discipline?

I've been thinking about how the longer I go from spending time on social media, the more wide open my media diet is becoming.

ambient.garden is an experiment that started with the question: can a composition be organized in space rather than time? Can it be experienced in space by the listener?

TBH this composition is organised by place rather than space. But it doesn't diminish how good it is!

The other week in my review of Day One app I said that I was a bit of an Automattic fan boy. This week I’m going to row that back.

Some super great advice in this for people who are thinking about starting a blog and thinking in public on the internet

One way that I solved these doubts was by having a “thesis,” a sort of guiding question in my writing that I point to whenever I wonder why I’m doing what I do.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
