shocking, as soon as I completed almost all of my todos and largely mitigated my health issues, I’m suddenly much more interested in reaching out to distant friends and going to parties
this comes after I gained some financial security, resolved my emotional bottlenecks, found/created work I love, and moved in with a girl I love
It’s almost as if Maslow was right. There’s an order to which Life Bottlenecks must be resolved
Community is everything. Cannot get over the richness and texture and generosity of the 08544, and the land of Aaron Burr and Albert Einstein that haloes it. Easy to blossom new ideas in an incubatory land.

My daughter wants to own Starbucks stock so every time we go there and someone buys something she makes a slice of that
She’s 6.
How many of us born in 1980s kids look back at family holidays and think, there is absolutely no way anyone should have been driving and yet they all did? Like … it’s a miracle Uncle Pat and Aunt Louise weren’t wrapped around a tree at the first stop sign at 11 PM, post VO?

Fun story: on a plane ride from LA last week a man sat in front of me with his 18 month old.
It was a 6 hour flight and the little one had no intention of sitting or napping.
I started to interact with the boy. Helping to alleviate some of the entertainment from the dad.
By hour 4 the boy was sitting on my lap helping me “work” on my computer.
At the end of the flight I helped carry him off the plane while the dad juggled the luggage and car seat.
A few days passed and I got a DM.
The dad had found me.
He sent a screenshot sharing that he purchased my book and said if I ever needed anything to ask.
A life lesson:
get off technology and start helping those around you without an expectation
It makes the world feel a little brighter.

Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you—if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.

There’s a man at my gym who brings his wife that has clearly had a stroke and will take twenty minutes patiently helping her get on the elliptical and then stand beside her so she can work out. I tear up every time I see them do this slow dance.
I’ve spent a lot of time pondering what love is. You know it when you see it.

“Though Powell has one of the most important economic policy jobs in the world, he did not earn his Princeton degree in economics or in public affairs. Indeed, one might say that his illustrious career demonstrates the power of a liberal arts education to prepare students for unanticipated roles and challenges.”

I was saddened to learn of the death today of Alasdair MacIntyre--a towering figure in moral and political philosophy and one of the most influential intellectuals of the past century. He was 96 years old.
In the late 1970s and early 80s, MacIntyre became a philosophical convert to Thomism and then a religious convert to Catholicism. Shortly after that he joined the faculty of the University of Notre Dame, where he served for many years. Two of his works stand out in my mind as timeless contributions to the discipline of philosophy: *After Virtue* (1981) and *Whose Justice? Which Rationality?* (1988). Both were published by Notre Dame Press.
The first time I visited Notre Dame to give a lecture, Professor MacIntyre kindly took me to lunch and gave me a tour of the campus. He could not have been more gracious, despite his reputation for being pugnacious in argument.
A striking thing about Professor MacIntyre was that he was impossible to classify ideologically. Was he a progressive? Not really. Was he a conservative? No. A centrist? Not that either. He was sui generis.
Requiescat in pace.

Get your kids a landline. Then just write down the numbers of friends and family and put it next to the phone. Before you know it, your 6yo will be calling their grandparents, aunts, and friends on their own to chat or organize hanging out. Major independence win.

You can tell a lot about a man by what those under his authority think of him
Here's how the seminarians in Pope Leo XIV's former diocese reacted to his election:
