I want to remember this and put it into action. Especially the long term idea. I’m better in the shorter time frames. Thank you, Darius, for all your great writing!

"Your happiness, career, wealth, and relationships are all filtered through the glasses you put on every morning" - indeed, how we see the world and what we tell ourselves impacts how we act and the consequences thereafter

I like your writing. Have done for years. I’m just starting my journey of systems thinking and mental models. Absorbing everything I can. I enjoyed reading about your realisation. I’m excited about loving reality and updating my mental models.

Wow. One of your best. First time I see someone explained how to solve the tension between « very long term » thinking and nihilism. Thanks. Cedric.

My perspective has shifted. I have a tool to draw on when I need to see things differently and make the best decision given the situation.

I thank you deeply for this. I'll continue to read your articles if you keep writing.
