Like Napoleon Hill - "Think And Grow Rich". Are thoughts "plucked" out of the same "ether" that radiowaves go through? Are all of the people living in poverty there due to their thoughts & mindset? No and not necessarily. But the result is recognising the power of your thoughts.

... my justification for the accuracy being, a lot of new age, self-help, superstitious, or religious traditional stuff is based off someone's experience. The narrative isn't necessarily true but the conclusion or actions you take as a result produce positive results.

Yeah. On the left-brainers struggling to get into books, there's other books in this genre I want to read more of but have a hard time getting into - particularly stuff like numerology, star signs, eastern medicine. Even if it's not 100% accurate there's still some insights (...)

And if that doesn't make sense, it can get even simpler:

- You can't be sure that the past is real
- You can't be sure that the future is real either
- Really, the only thing that ever exists is now
- 'Living' in either the past or future is the source of all pain

I resisted reading The Power of Now for a long time because I thought it was woo woo, but it's actually legit good advice. I like his distinction on clock-time and reality: namely, there is no time, the only thing that matters is how deep you are in the present, not the 'horizon'

Ah, the classic photo of a photo being taken

Hadn't heard of Aloha browser, thanks @kemloves - and welcome to Peepeth!

Happy Sunday/Monday @Bevan!

Just tried the best wine of my life, BRUMALE Rosso Terre Siciliane. What's better? It's less than €5, even if you buy online. https://shop.auchan.it/63374-brumale-rosso-terre-siciliane-igt-0-75-l.html

Wonderfully inspiring if you entertain the idea. You are who you are, right where you are, for a reason - you chose to be. And if you get chewed up on what you're meant to do, it's a perfect solution - you're meant to live the dream.

Ignoring the star-sign stuff, this is actually a pretty good guide to why we overcommit and what we need to make sure we take care of: https://goop.com/wellness/mindfulness/why-we-overcommit/

Italian late dinners have rekt my sleep schedule. I gotta find a way to get back to my usual productive wake-up window of 4-8am.

I love staying up late but unfortunately Jocko's right, discipline begins with waking up early.

Legend says the towel still rests on his head today.

Really? pics or it didn't happen?

aw, thanks :)

If I had to summarise in 3 points, quitting social media is...
• trading your potential friends for your current friends
• trading a 'push system' for a 'pull system' where you have to now initiate what feels like 80% of conversations
• trading public image for productivity

Thanks. I've spent 2 years weighing it up. Used to have a pretty compulsive habit of IG and it's similar apps (Facebook, Snapchat) so I definitely know the bad effects. Yet there's costs to being off the platform.

#WishIHadAnEnso! Love mushrooms

Not much, bear market's still in, no one's got any Peepeth tattoos yet, but @Bevan did host an island retreat in Bali

Welcome @tech2blog! Great to see some more of the Linux community.

I think I found my new focus playlist

I reckon there's a big difference between using IG for close friendships (= cheapens them, puts you on a validation/comparison-trip) & for public statements (= builds your identity/career, similar to Twitter/LinkedIn)

If being public isn't in your aims, then yeah, quit.

I've spent a lot of time hating it, but now I've changed my mind and am considering rejoining. Most important thing to me is that there's many social platforms and that I avoid tying my ego to one particular place.

Also prioritising real life relationships over online ones.

Cosmos (https://medium.com/@jaekwon/cosmos-creating-interoperable-blockchains-part-1-2929435ba1fa) and Polkadot (https://slides.com/benjaminkampmann/2019-04-04-buenos-aires-polkadot-and-why-you-want-to-substrate-your-blockchain/#/)? Hadn't heard of either, thanks for the rec.

What... why... how... I'm impressed.

Here's an example of something called "SCSS", a 'second layer' to the base CSS language that means you can write very little and achieve a lot. https://css-tricks.com/custom-user-mixins/

If anyones looking for a vision of how Bitcoin has the potential to be the backbone for the new financial system, take a look at CSS. A base protocol/shared language - that is resulting in the visual appearance of every website and web app you visit.

Sidechains =~= CSS compliers

I'm pretty sure this can be made at some point - @Bevan's intent is to make the smart contract entirely accessible as far as I know, and the Peepeth backend can already be read on multiple platforms.

I'm looking forward to an integrated app mixing the best of XMPP and Buffer...

Now that's an interesting thought, I like that thought. Perhaps Elon can help the Audi Group to make the first space lambos.

Totally agree, being broke tends to make you ballsy & hungry, being rich tends to make you soft. Not that being rich isn't >>> being broke though.
