That dot is us, all 8 billion of us. It's all an insanely lucky miracle.
I'm grateful for all of it & all of you. Love you all! ❤️
PS: Now, I'm off to partake in the great American Thanksgiving tradition of over-eating while getting into a heated philosophical argument with family 🤣
Finished a 12 mile run, last long run in Austin for awhile. I'll be traveling the world for a bit, talking to people from all walks of life, including from the overlooked edges of society.
The current plan is to visit several places in India, Middle East, Eastern Europe, and then come back to US, hop in the car, and just road-trip it for a few months, going to small towns, factory & mining towns, just getting to know the amazing people of this country.
Btw, if you're a blue-collar worker who has stories to tell, on-mic or off-mic, please submit forms linked below. For on-mic, use "guest suggestion" form. For off-mic, use "coffee" form.
I miss Austin already. I've fallen in love with Texas, and can't wait to be back. It's funny to think that the guy I'll be when I'm back is probably a different human, changed by the wild journey ahead. Changed how & where, I have no idea. My brain is just an active github repo, with lots of software bugs. So tldr: brain update v0.2 is in the works 🤣
Friends have asked me to explain why exactly, and when I do, I always seem to fall short.
For me, it's seeing hate, cruelty, and death in the wars in Ukraine and Middle East, it's being attacked online more & more, it's constantly falling short from being the kind of man I want to be, it's the frequent reminder that life ends too quickly...
I know that a lot of people are struggling too, and are also not always able to find the words that fully capture why.
2024 is going to be intense. Buckle up. Major wars, presidential elections, rapid progress of AI, etc. We got this. Humans are amazing. Let truth & compassion prevail. Happy new year! Love you all ❤
I'm going to play Starfield (the new epic space RPG) this weekend & use the opportunity to record an AMA while I play, so if you have any questions/topics for me to discuss, please post them here. Not just related to game, anything goes.
Some days, the feeling of sadness hits hard. I've had many days like this over the past year. It's been tough. If you're struggling today, I just want you to know that we are struggling together. I love you all.

I got to train with Khabib Nurmagomedov yesterday. This was an honor of a lifetime for me. He's a great fighter & leader and a great human being.
From a grappling perspective, I don't think I've ever experienced this much top pressure in my life.
I'll post the footage of the training in a few days. And also we'll do a long podcast (and dub it in multiple languages).
In general, it was an incredible experience to train with the team and get to know many of the fighters from Dagestan. All are great people.

I've been feeling a lot of heaviness in my heart.
Friends have asked me to explain why exactly, and when I do, I always seem to fall short.
For me, it's seeing hate, cruelty, and death in the wars in Ukraine and Middle East, it's being attacked online more & more, it's constantly falling short from being the kind of man I want to be, it's the frequent reminder that life ends too quickly...
I know that a lot of people are struggling too, and are also not always able to find the words that fully capture why.
I just want to say that we're in it together.
I love you all ❤
