Everyday is a new opportunity to assign value to things, to decide what is important, what is beautiful, what is good, what is deserving. In this regard you are truly the Monarch of your life, first of your name, bla bla https://t.co/YGXHATd5Ke

@visakanv Cool analogy that fits almost perfectly: I remember reading about a stunt driving class where they taught you to "look where you want to go" if you look at the obstacle/hazard, you'll likely hit it. https://t.co/uFoRvv6V55

@visakanv Still trying to work out the domain of applicability for this advice. Like, yeah, in the social/narrative sphere, what you project, you get back. Naively applied elsewhere, this crashes hard against actual safety? It can be very hard to avert danger without using avoidance.

@visakanv It's been a year since I read Introspect. I still think of this at least once a week. This and "do 100 things" were my biggest takeaways. I'm at 66/100 songs made now.

@visakanv It really can't be overstated how good this concept is. I keep coming back to it over and over as I grow older. It's especially crucial for online life

@visakanv just remembered that item one of "best practices" on the r/jordanpeterson subreddit sidebar came from a post I made there a while ago where I got accused of concern trolling and took something similar to "focus your time..." away https://t.co/TISIIGKMrK
