This guy wants to act like he’s doing so much for the world. He literally made some guess and it paid of well yet, we’re trusting him like this century’s fucking Nostradamus?
> Huge part of his riches came from investing in a company that poisons people with sugar water.
This and that are 2 different things. You may disagree with where he invest his money or his morales but that has nothing to do with his intelligence and his ability to invest which is what the parent comment is saying Dalio does not have.
Gates owns pharma labs and reflects a lot on diseases through his foundations. I don't know how much exactly we can trust on his opinions on those subjects, or any subject for that matters, but I would say his knowledge isn't 0, in reality it's probably higher than in software nowadays.
Modafinil user of 4+ years speaking from experience, the benefits of this drug outweigh the risks and adverse reaction in my case.
I was prescribed Vyvanse but quit it (flushed the remainder of the pills in the bottle down the toilet), I had to stop when I felt the clammy hands, cold sweat and heart palpitations. On top of that, it made me feel like a zombie.
Modafinil provided me with the calmness to concentrate and ability to stick to something for hours on end without the feeling of depletion after hours of taken an amphetamine, with the only adverse reaction being a foul smell in urine.
Renewed my Apple TV+ subscription specifically for this show and waited for a whole year -- I'm in the camp that thinks no series or film is ever going to be better than the actual books, but in terms of what's playing and in production these days, I've been immersed in the series from the start as well as the Foundation podcast that dives deeper into every episode with some of the shows producers, it's similar to hearing the director's cut of a film.
I've researched the several ways to do this and found that a combination of the following usually works for me:
- Samsung Note device using an S-Pen to either draw diagrams, rough sketches, or jot notes and then later convert them to saved image files.
- Fountain pens and individual notebooks for meeting notes, book excerpts, quotes, etc. I find that writing down things and having no structure just leads to confusion and a mess of notes that's more time consuming to find when needed. Having sections or just dedicated pages for topics makes it manageable.
- Jotlin app for extensive note taking on a particular topic/interest that wouldn't fit neatly into a couple of handwritten pages.
- Apple Notes/Google Keep rarely but it does serve its purpose if there's nothing else available.
- I type faster than I write and when taking notes or highlighting captures from a book, Google Books has a very useful way of creating a doc file from everything highlighted: book page, page number, relevant highlighted section.
I've tried the whole Bullet Journal techniques and found that it's just an obsessive methodology of note taking with a steep learning curve, it didn't serve my purposes though and I don't knock it if others find it valuable.
