Oddbean new post about login | logout I’ve watched this video 5x now. When I’m watching it, I don’t get the same feelings and thoughts as most people would. Have a watch for yourself. And let me know what you think of after watching it. https://video.nostr.build/a710ff3892d6a119c95049948e369d12a146805ba56c090572ec0d0ec4441beb.mp4

It makes sense; however, there are a few extraordinary individuals who go on to establish incredible legacies, businesses, and foundations that endure for many generations.

I guess concepts like value, beauty, and happiness are all subjective.
I hope to build one day a rammed earth home that will last for 500 years. Many families will get to enjoy the house and appreciate the care of design when I’m gone. Still, 500 years is just a flash in the pan. Is the fate of all “legacy” simply an anonymous contribution to the collective consciousness?
Is the feeling that she is a thief? At no point does she credit Alan Watts.
To me the meta point is let go of ego and focus on what matters
You have to realize that someday you will die, until you know that, you are useless - If you know, you know
Not sure what she's talking about. 1000 generations from now my descendants will know who I am.
