You’re CLUELESS About Risk Management
We all have some innate sense of risk-management. E.g. FEAR. And then we also have plenty learned methods of risk management. E.g. DIVERSIFICATION Alas we keep failing our “risk-management” in the modern world FEAR fails most of the time because most our modern “threats” are NOT mortal. Therefore you actually SHOULD take more …

Don’t Find Yourself In The Wrong Pursuit
You are only what you did today. Only what you tangibly improved today matters. Only what you tangibly improved today is real. You are only defined by what you tangibly did better today.
