Appreciating being raised by an engineer even more. “I don’t know but I can find out.”

Once in a blue moon some non simp non crypto shit slips onto my timeline. Thank you Umi for always crafting and curating beautiful free insights on human relations. Sometimes we just need reminders to be better people to others or our selves. Hope to gib you plushie irl one day😦

The NF and IN Reality: It’s not that we love everyone. We can understand people: their choices, their pain, their contradictions, but that doesn’t always translate into affection. What we genuinely love is humanity: the potential, the healing, the possibility of better. Sometimes that comes across as distant or even self-important, as if we’ve disappeared into some private mission to fix the world, or as if we're unaware of our own flaws. But it's not because we think we’re saviors, it's because we don’t know how else to carry the weight of what we see. We can hold space for someone’s pain, but we’re also holding the pain of systems, of history, of a world that often feels like it’s unraveling. It’s like knowing poverty exists while someone is upset about cinnamon-flavored floss. We’re not judging, but our minds tend to zoom out. It can be hard to give all our attention to just one thing when we’re constantly toggling between the personal and the collective. And after a while, when you’re used to being misunderstood, it feels easier to stop explaining. To let people think you’re aloof or uncaring, when really you’re just somewhere else trying to make sense of it all.

Current state of the medical establishment: Brought a friend to the ER for a high fever. Put their symptoms into Grok. Grok told me to ask for 4 tests. Doctor said 1 of them is unnecessary. I insisted we do them all. Test came back positive on the one he didn’t want to do.

Love this book that @trainbloom recommended

Japan just agreed to a trade deal that: 1. Still involves paying a 15% "reciprocal tariff" 2. Requires a $550 BILLION investment in the US 3. 90% of profits from investment go to US In order to agree to this "deal," Japan's economy must be far worse than most people expect. Treasury yields are rising to record highs in Japan for a reason. Japan is desperate.

When everything is up, don’t forget (again).

Trump's mindset on stress is incredible

Hopped on a call with a fund manager and mid-way through the call, he asked if I was an INTJ. My (INTJ) papa would be proud.
