growth and abundance homies only. acquire new skills. learn new languages. try new things. fail 100,000 times and be excited because youâre smart and youâre learning from it https://t.co/ZLc9vyoVXd
btw an important part of how Kanye went from being a music producer to becoming a rapper to doing fashion is that he refused to buy into assumptions about what one person is capable of https://t.co/RgB5pc4cl2
Hypothesis: If you think of Kanye as a âstatus deregulatorâ, he makes a lot more sense. Heâs willing to be wrong, to be insulted, mocked, etc in order to achieve his long-term goal of being relatively free from the constraints of other peopleâs status rules
âLook, Walt, youâre a great cartoonist - and youâre even a decent animator! But theme parks? What do you know about theme parks?â https://t.co/Rq0H0oXj3b https://t.co/oOUXwmK4Oe
âOrson. Your stage productions are really something. You really know how to do Shakespeare. Why do you wanna risk that to go into the movie business? Itâs a totally different game... you need a totally different skillset...â https://t.co/WnAEokt5Tu

âArnold. Youâre a very impressive bodybuilder. But whatâs this talk about movies? Your accent is terrible! Nobody will understand- oh, ok. Youâre a film star. Well done. Wait, you want to be WHAT?â https://t.co/vqQ1MqhVCw
@visakanv for me there was a kind of egoic clinging to my first identity (mathematician) and i had to experience ~ego death to be able to let it go enough to do something else. this was terrifying and it took years and i didn't do it very cleanly. "fixed mindset" doesn't quite capture it
@visakanv it's not exactly that i didn't think i was capable of anything else, but more that in order to do something else i had to become a stranger to myself, and a certain vision of what i thought my future looked like had to die
@visakanv actually the best description i've ever seen of this dynamic is in this blog post by @meditationstuff where he talks about "acquiring a linear ratchet" but it's not the easiest reading: https://t.co/unNuCJG3AN
@visakanv @meditationstuff this description from @krzhang is pretty good too đ https://t.co/yAx6ukiUKr
