Small daily habits in learning, health, or finance can compound into life changing outcomes.

I’m not against paying taxes to support society, but how is it fair to tax something as volatile as Bitcoin? One year it’s worth €100k, the next €25k, yet you still pay tax on “wealth” you don’t have. Why is this the case in the Netherlands @belastingdienst.bsky.social?

Haha. It makes sense that these roads are familiar or that they remember the maps quite well, but it’s like they’ve memorized them for a topography exam tomorrow.

Am I the only one who never knows where I am when someone asks, “Where are you driving?” I’ll be on some random highway. Meanwhile, with barely any info, others go, “Ah, the A16, hectometer post 32.1, between this city and that one!” Why do they know this?

Shining a light on our hypocrisies helps us see our biases. Your ‘normal’ is just your perspective, shaped by your culture and upbringing.

We understand beauty because we've seen ugly. We know joy because we’ve felt pain. Without contrast, we'd know neither.

Happy Birthday, Derek! 🥳

Back in high school, all my friends were playing OSM during IT class. @jeroenderwort.nl started in a similar way my brother and I did. He grew his startup from his attic to 100M+ users. Beyond our shared love for games, it’s inspiring he also wrote a book about it. Check out his book: Scoren!

Ask yourself if the world is better with you in it, then live in a way that makes the answer yes.

A well spent day brings restful sleep. A well lived life brings a peaceful end.

By constantly engaging with what we seek to avoid, we keep it alive.

The ones who need the lesson most won’t hear it or think it doesn’t apply to them. The ones who do hear it will understand, but they don’t need it anymore.
