"Something new is coming.
Just as farming societies differed in kind from hunting-and-gathering bands, and industrial societies differed radically from feudal or yeoman agricultural systems, so the New World to come will mark a radical departure from anything seen before."

— From "The Sovereign Individual"
What will undo any boundary is the awareness that it is our vision, and not what we are viewing, that is limited.

Don't lose your reputation for quick wins.
I love that moment when I hear about a new concept or idea, do the initial research and then get drawn down a new rabbit hole. 🕳️ 🐇

Proof of Work:
I did a little bit of work in the garden yesterday. We installed the Corten steel elements.
We always had woven hazelnut elements, but they always rotted very quickly.

Some kind of prototype of the Apple Newton in various colors (1995).
As far as I know, the Newton was later only produced in black.

On gratitude:

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

"Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes."
Look what I found among my cultural anthropology books... 😉

I bought it for 13€ back then, today it’s about 140€ on Amazon. I'd say that was a good investment.

Now that I've started reading Patrick Deneen's book "Regime Change", I've realized that I really need to deeply familiarize myself with the subject of liberalism (which he implicitly criticizes and I’ve only have a broad understanding of).

Started Patrick Deneen‘s "Regime Change", to better understand the developments in the US and in parts of Europe.

Deneen had a great influence on people like JD Vance and Peter Thiel.
I have to admit that I have lost track of the OpenAI model portfolio.
I wish you all a blessed Good Friday

Things money can’t buy.
Make things you want to make.
The hard part is knowing what you really want.
Take a moment to pause and reflect, and realize how far you’ve come.
