“By “meditating” I mostly mean sitting around with my eyes closed. I haven’t done any research at all on what meditation is supposed to be. Apparently there’s a million different styles of it, so I’m just going to go ahead and call what I do meditation too, fight me.”

I can’t tell if he is serious. This didn’t help me take him seriously.




I did crossfit once. Exercise is overrated!

What I understand about meditation from hearing and asking about it is that it also takes practice to get right. Perhaps picking up a guitar once doesn't give you the same feeling as jamming with friends either.


You saw an image of a guy who exercised once.


He looks like typical arrogant tech bro in this


Honestly, I've gotten that vibe from all of his writing I've read. Set ideas that he constantly tries to justify and then says others should follow. I'm glad he's doing a review, but even in that it doesn't seem there's really any real introspection going on, just more optimisation of life, as if productivity, etc. is all that matters.
