Just be normal. Maintain your sanity. We will succeed in the long run.

My friends here, after having observed some common trends emerging in society today, it's very clear to me that being simple & normal is the best strategy.

Look at the world around us:

• Attention spans are fucked. People cannot listen for 10 seconds without glancing over phone. There is very little recognition of the human in the 'other' person.
• There is very little recognition of one self. Intoxicants, indiscipline, mindless activities are the sign of times. It's okay to do these. It's human to be silly. But it mustn't be your 24*7.
• People are woke, but they're not awake. They'll come to you with a pitchfork as soon as they hear something that irks them, but barely try to understand your view.

These are disparate problems, and just some examples. The surest way to guard yourself is to avoid doing what everyone else is doing.

Be aware. Be disciplined. Exercise, eat well, sleep well, think well. Be simple, as you were a few years ago, or most people were mentally before the coming of the short term dopamine hit economy.
