and I can't run at that gear forever
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476101 2025-12-09 19:08
and though that was a bit of an overclocking gear
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476100 2025-12-09 19:07
but I did learn something about myself that even though I am a quite good CEO at a decent size scale, who does a lot of things very quickly, I did discover there is one more gear available to me that was previously never used
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476093 2025-12-09 19:06
and so no new realizations about the world view per se
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476092 2025-12-09 19:06
and I am trying to put the pieces together
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476089 2025-12-09 19:05
like I have a "vision" or whatever "view" of what the world will be like in the future
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476082 2025-12-09 19:05
my public and private communications and actions
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476079 2025-12-09 19:04
if we ever end up discussing it, you will say "oh, that makes perfect sense"
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476076 2025-12-09 19:04
the theory of the thing and the theory of this are mirror images
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476069 2025-12-09 19:03
which is about the polar opposite of here
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476067 2025-12-09 19:03
maybe someday you will know, we will see but all I can say is August to October was my physical world, "Elon Musk with fewer 0s" moment
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476065 2025-12-09 19:02
otherwise they are all in my head but jumbled
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476064 2025-12-09 19:02
but a thread I dunno I crank it out in 90 to 120 minutes but it is not the time per se but I need to be sufficiently zen or whatever for the thoughts to come out coherent
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476063 2025-12-09 19:01
send emails, given instructions, give calls etc
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476062 2025-12-09 19:00
like what I am trying to say even after the most extreme period was over, I was a bit too ADHDed to write a thread
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476059 2025-12-09 19:00
and for a few weeks, I was outside of extreme "doing" but my brain had not caught up
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476056 2025-12-09 18:59
for 3 months it was all "DOING"
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476055 2025-12-09 18:59
but my brain returning to a more balanced "thinking" vs "doing state"
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476052 2025-12-09 18:59
is mostly not about hours worked
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476050 2025-12-09 18:58
so what I am saying about "getting back to normal"
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476049 2025-12-09 18:58
but under "Elon Musk" type conditions, I can send emails and give instructions but "let's clarify the success metrics of a network state", well it feels hard
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476046 2025-12-09 18:58
well, I can do it under conditions where most people would freak out
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476044 2025-12-09 18:57
writing, thinking about blockchains, etc, etc
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476043 2025-12-09 18:57
that at a certain level of hyper-extreme Elon Musk type stress (it was Elon Musk in a factory type vibe), I get wired "operational" and not "writing"
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476038 2025-12-09 18:56
so I am progressively returning to normalcy mentally from that extraordinarily stressful period
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #476037 2025-12-09 18:55
so I am going to answer a question asked by @[hexum] in twitter chat - why have I been absent - 6D chess to see if people would step up or other reasons? The answer is a bit of both: 1/ It is very important that people do things without me. Generally that only happens when I am less active in an area 2/ But also as I noted before, from August 2025 to early Nov 2025 was the "do or die" period for something else (my other big project) that I have been working on since 2015! And it hit a point that if I did not personally roll up my sleeves 7 days/week, it was going to die, but I did it and it "do-ed"

if you are not a long-time insider
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #474783 2025-12-08 23:00
it remains totally baffling what you are supposed to do anywhere on this website
punk6529 Freedom to Expand #474782 2025-12-08 23:00
to answer the simple question above
