this was part of my reasoning when proposing to my wife when we were 22. If it didn’t work out in 5 years, as long as we didn’t have kids yet we could be 27yo divorcees with basically no downside https://t.co/64yn4coBTu

In fact I wish I went all in harder on more things in my early 20s. you can do all sorts of crazy things at 20, if the upside pays off you can own it, if it doesn’t you can say “haha I was a crazy kid” when you’re 30. harder to do when you’re older and supposed to know better

I don’t think I’ve ever regretted a decision. I regret only my indecision. (There’s some important meta around this that I talk about at length all the time, optimizing for survival and being strategic etc etc, but yea)

@visakanv I like to think that if I went back in time, I'd be more patient, wiser, and more effective.However, if the Butterfly Effect applies, the timeline difference might be too much to overcome, and the lessons learned might vary too much from the new reality.

@visakanv If our mistakes create us, then our pain avoidance would quickly change the new reality, and things would turn out immensely different.

@trippinreadyy i'd aggressively post more cringe. do more comedy, live music, put on acts, youtube skits, etc. generally experiment harder and louder and more boldly with identity and presentation and arguments

@visakanv when you say cringe, what do you mean? i think a lot about being more experimental with identity and presentation and arguments though
