I few years ago I worked as a backpacking guide for teenagers, and they were inevitably horrified to discover that I couldn’t tell them exactly where we were on the map, but that that didn’t mean we were LOST because we knew we were on the trail, and knew roughly how many hours we’d been hiking it

And lest we forget the VAST majority of sports does not happen at the top level of competition. My fastest eight of girls are usually just behind the second-fastest eight of boys on the team, so the overlap here covers MOST of each team.

Sometimes it’s good that that thing is “I want to take this REALLY SERIOUSLY,” but it’s just as good if the thing you learn is “I just want to do this for fun and NOT take it seriously”. Sport is a human behavior, and thus a person’s performance of that behavior says something about who they are

And this shouldn’t need to be said but I’ll say it anyway: I’m not a “let’s just go and have fun” coach. My athletes have won national championships and are regularly recruited to D1 schools. But EVEN STILL (and especially!) sports only matters because of what you learn about yourself while playing

It’s all “decentralized trustless currency” until their money gets stolen and then they reinvent the FDIC from first principles

Also my wife just got on an SSRI that works for her, but that’s no longer covered. We lose our pediatrician, dentist, and the OB/GYN that did both of my wife’s major surgeries AND delivered our baby. I love it here

Anyway, my son already had $80,000 worth of lifesaving Medical bills by the time he was 3 months old, so I guess none of it really matters in the end. I make $30,000 per year

We did a bunch of work paying down and reconsolidating debt in advance of the baby coming, and it had saved us about 350/mo, and all of that was just wiped out so that Kaiser Permanente can pay shareholder dividends

And yes I know the context of the quote is that audiences might be inspired to study classics but that’s Not As Funny™️

He told everyone when he multiplied cooked fish the new fish would already BE cooked but it wasn’t true and a lot of people got real sick

This is old news. Everyone knows this shit. He’s like Bozo

I just read this last week because of your post. What a terrific book!
