and though that was a bit of an overclocking gear
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
and so no new realizations about the world view per se
and I am trying to put the pieces together
a world model in my head
like I have a "vision" or whatever "view" of what the world will be like in the future
at a very abstract level
are all internally consistent
my public and private communications and actions
if we ever end up discussing it, you will say "oh, that makes perfect sense"
the theory of the thing and the theory of this are mirror images
well, it is interesting
where it is all intangible
which is about the polar opposite of here
it had a lot of physicality
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
otherwise they are all in my head but jumbled
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
send emails, given instructions, give calls etc
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
was still amped up
and for a few weeks, I was outside of extreme "doing" but my brain had not caught up
for 3 months it was all "DOING"
but my brain returning to a more balanced "thinking" vs "doing state"
which are still high
is mostly not about hours worked
so what I am saying about "getting back to normal"
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
well, I can do it under conditions where most people would freak out
writing, thinking about blockchains, etc, etc
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"
thing I have learned
and it is very interesting
so I am progressively returning to normalcy mentally from that extraordinarily stressful period
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"
LOL
wow, excellent ideas
also good
also good
this is very good
yes, this is good
it is time to clean up
this is project december
if you are not a long-time insider
it remains totally baffling what you are supposed to do anywhere on this website
to answer the simple question above
though not tonight
I will read and catch up
just found this group
