.@EdLatimore on How to Outwork A Crackhead:
2/ A balanced life has its advantages, but you can’t get exceptionality if you prioritize balance above all else.
3/ Crackheads that get clean often replace their addiction to crack with something else; channeling their addictive personality towards something productive is life-changing.
4/ Most people choose the more comfortable option of “doubling down on their own world” instead of venturing into worlds that are foreign to them.
5/ People around you will forgive you – probably more than they should – when you commit to improving your life and are serious about it over a long period of time.
6/ People from all walks of life can have extremely similar experiences, and yet they appear to be different based on surface-level interpretations of those experiences.

Synthesizing insights from two different perspectives is not 1+1=2, but 1+1=7
7/ “There is someone out there with half your IQ, that is accomplishing 10x what you are because they’re not smart enough to doubt themselves.” – Ed Latimore (@EdLatimore)
8/ The people that get far are the ones that embrace what scares them.
9/ The sum of the world’s knowledge is at your fingertips; you just need to learn the skill of asking the right questions.
10/ Immense innovation tends to happen on compressed timelines, and then large amounts of time can pass before the next rapid period of innovation ensues.
11/ People expect individuals of particular genders, races, and backgrounds to all think the same about certain issues, completely stripping the individual’s agency from the calculus.
12/ The media networks benefit when people are enraged; they are incentivized to publish polarizing content with varying degrees of truth to keep you watching and clicking.
