📚 3 Good Recommendations
Learn Like an Athlete
by David Perell (5 mins)
Summary: Treat learning like athletic training: set clear objectives, build a strict plan that targets weaknesses, work in 3-month sprints with daily/weekly milestones, keep difficulty in the Goldilocks zone, stay flexible in methods, and share work to tighten feedback loops.
Ideal for: Knowledge workers, founders, creators, students, and teams who want a repeatable system to upskill quickly, ship projects consistently, and avoid reactive, aimless consumption.
Why It’s Worth Your Time: A training-style approach produces measurable progress, faster learning via public feedback, sustained motivation, and compounding “personal network effects” where each new skill increases the value of the ones you already have.
An Internet Built for AI
by Maya Lekhi and (11 mins)
Summary: The internet is shifting from an open, human-driven system to one dominated by AI. This change fundamentally restructures how information flows and who benefits from it, moving away from a traditional link-based economy toward a privatized, AI-intermediated ecosystem.
Ideal for: Tech investors, policymakers, content creators, journalists, and anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of AI on the future of the web.
Why It's Worth Your Time: The article explains the reasons behind major shifts you're seeing online—such as publishers blocking AI bots and a sharp decline in web traffic for news sites—and warns of potential future problems like "model collapse," where AI systems degrade over time by training on their own synthetic data.
Alan Watts For When You Need To Stop Thinking
by T&H - Inspiration & Motivation (12 mins)
Summary: Alan Watts argues that constant thinking blinds us to reality, while stillness and meditation reveal the richness of the present moment. True action is not about striving toward outcomes but about pure expression—like dance or music—that dissolves the illusion of separation between ordinary life and transcendence.
Ideal for: Creators, meditators, and anyone stuck in overthinking or chasing endless goals.
Why It’s Worth Your Time: Offers a practical shift in mindset—stop naming, stop striving, and see ordinary life as extraordinary. A guide to breaking free from the rat race into deeper awareness and creativity.
