He just recently retired. In the podcast Tim Ferris asked him what his central maxim in life is and he said this: discipline equals freedom. \n\nWhat he meant by that is when you discipline and schedule your life, you get a lot more done.\n\n*sigh*\n\nIt's something I often struggle with, but I'm trying to get better at. \n\nEspecially since I have a goal of submitting my dissertation by June :)\n\nBlessings as you transition to NYC!",

      "body": "`\"Where have you been?\"`\n\nOnce I sit down to do it, it's never very hard at all. Writing, graphic design, my boss' taxes -- once I decide it's time to do what I need to do, the do-ing is always the easiest part.\n\nThe hard part is, and always has been, consistency. Here today, gone tomorrow. I am and then I ain't. \n\nThe self-criticism doesn't help. It manifests as visions of mean texts from ex-boyfriends, dirty looks from old friends. Rude tweets that don't exist yet. \n\n*\"What if I don't want the Internet to know anything about me at all?\"*\n\nWhen I'm not writing, it's not because I don't have anything to say. It's usually because I have so much to say I can feel it bursting from my fingertips and I know if I let it all out I'll have probably said too much. \n\nCreating is the easy part.\n\nI'd like to have my own little place here on the Internet. Somewhere I can talk about the design of old Mac computers, how pretty sneakers are, the crazy plot of this romantic comedy you forgot about. \n\nUnfortunately (and I mean truly unfortunately), I feel pressure to rack up page views, earn unique visitors, seek approval from strangers in a made up world. \n\n*\"Nobody talks about e-social anxiety.\"*\n\nI think I'm meant to start a magazine. Lately I can feel that in my heart. I don't think I was meant for a \"personal brand\" that isn't at least a little bit out of focus. I think I was meant to tell stories. \n\n\n![Style Mood Board 01.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmS7g9AkEMiGD5rMUvE7xeSWHNVvH9G3PHptGVsQwxiAP5/Style%20Mood%20Board%2001.png)\n*Pretty Decent Mood Board 001 -- I've been trying harder on Instagram lately.

While it's unclear how we will value rare assets (like a one-of-a-kind painting) with tokens, ultimately the market will decide the value. \n\nSince you like analogies, here's an analogy using the stock market. If investors buy a stock in a company, and never hear anything from the company again, they'll lose faith in the company, everyone will sell, and the value of the stock -- and thus the company -- will go down. \n\nIt's likely the same thing will happen with tokens: if someone buys a token backed by a Warhol painting, but Warhol starts to go out of style, the value will likely go down. If there's a Warhol renaissance, or MOMA puts on a huge Warhol retrospective, the value will go up. \n\nThus, tokens will motivate the owners of the underlying asset to always be ADDING VALUE, just as the stock market motivates corporate managers to constantly ADD VALUE with their companies. Hope that helps!",

You are so right, and you have no idea how badly I needed to hear exactly this. \n\n“You're not going to create a better world by destroying the things you hate, you'll create a better world by fostering, nurturing, and growing the things you love. It's a fact.”\n\nThat is my whole mission statement. That’s the whole brand! You really get it and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me. \n\nMy latest dream (and my Steemit goal) is to create my own digital magazine, releases quarterly, that talks candidly about the web and things I think are important. In every industry, I think there are natural gatekeepers — while it’s nice to think about the idea of working at Vogue, Time, etc. and being around those creative minds, I have such a hard time giving up the freedom of my day and the freedom of my thought. I worry about involving too many opinions, especially at the beginning. Everyone’s a critic and I’d like to retain the optimism. \n\nAnyways, thank you again for such an engaging comment to start my day. You’re really da bessss 🦋 internet friend",

It's like Hygiene, you need that value, but you take it too far and you end up alienated in your house breathing through a gas mask with sterilized oatmeal paste as your only ration, and that just becomes pointless, as the value is being exploited.\n\nA lot of rules in film, journalism, and writing are *great*, but I see them treated as the ten commandments more or less than some thing that's more dynamic and fluid, and I believe that what survives in an ecosystem is the being that is capable of learning the basic rules (taught in the schools, but also learned online) and then can manipulate those rules, and combine them with more guerrilla style combat in the creative act.\n\nAnd what I've seen is a mutation of this - people write articles to catch your attention, which is dangerous - honestly. Click bait is a word for a reason, the value should of getting attention should be there, but in it's current *correct* way that \"real journalists\" do it, we have a slew of content that is \n\n1. Incorrect based of the title \n\n2. Created a new phenom known as Headline Reading, where people literally read headlines instead of the article.\n\n3. Made an impossible exponential task, journalism is now about topping the latest extreme thing, or at least that's what I've seen. \n\nIt's a race to the top of the charts, but at the expense of lowering our common humanity - and that ain't cool. Critics are terrible at this, instead of learning to critique better, they learn to critique more violently, and then this creates a completely pointless ecosystem where the loudest voices can be the most negative or extreme. \n\nAnd who has the right to critique to the level Americans do anyways?\n\nWe live in a great country in the context of history and current geopolitical systems, we have nonstop access to warm food, free information, and constant opportunity to rise up, and even reform our systems to benefit those with power to act with virtue, and those without power to gain it with dignity and self-respect.\n\nYet, if you listen we always have 1,000 things to say, write, and tweet about everything - Obama, Trump, Hilary, McCain, Bush, Regan, Washington, King George - I honestly people - *seek out* conflict. \n\nYou're not going to create a better world by destroying the things you hate, you'll create a better world by fostering, nurturing, and growing the things you love. It's a fact.\n\nOne of the most common things I've noticed in my study of addiction is that the most sincere change is brought about when the values and lifestyle changes in the person, and the result is the stopping of the addiction, not the direct attack of the problem.\n\nAnyways.\n\nMy perspective is that journalism is a very strange thing, it's a rigorous system, and is an institution that should have schooling, but it mainly needs to be utilized on an individual level. \n\nIt's the whole film school vs using your Iphone and learning by studying YouTube argument, both have their pros, but organic paths are better to me in the long run.\n\nThink of it like this, I believe the fundamental Axiom of college is this:\n\nInvest in yourself.\n\nSo that is the ideal system of any school, getting a degree can often signal you can (in hyper simple terms here) accomplish tasks in a given field, which makes you attractive to employers, and college is an investment.\n\nHowever, with the Internet, with the Crypto, with this amazing and undeniably shift in humanity happening, the ability to invest in yourself is hugely different, but still *essentially the same*\n\nThings change, often for the better, college and school no longer own the monopoly of education, they still have their stake, but the internet has made us all much more powerful than any of us could have ever imagined.\n\nHere's my final thing, I agree with you, and I'd like to take it father -  you could spend the next ten years trying to battle your way up entrenched and difficult publishers, and like most, tragically, end up writing in a style that is controversial, provocative, and well-written, and you will get promotions.\n\nAnd you'll probably hate yourself, because your writing the game - the ecosystem - the rules. The rules that exist on the highest moral authority these is - Clickable Headlines. I am joking, obviously.\n\nOr you could stick it out independently, get kicked around, and have a few eye rolls (\"because thats not - *ohmygawd* legit) and then in the next 10 years, you could have a large following on Steemit, Instagram, and whatever the hell you want because this is your show, not the Rat Race Times one. \n\nAnd that independence will be hyper valuable in 5 years, because guess what? When everyone and their mother knows about Steemit, and you can say your in the top 1,000 most followed writers, then it will have actual legitimacy. Then you having 30k and \"Writer at X\" will look stupid versus being to paid directly for your content, not so that Time can sell Watches and Cars to the middle class. (No offense middle class)\n\nWhat I guess I am saying, is that - in the short term going independent is more risky, and people may roll their eyes, but if it works out, you'll be congratulated and respected - it's just the way most people are - they are afraid to try - because they know they can fail, and they are fearful to see you try.\n\nAnd that's okay. When I tell people I made money trading stocks, they look at me different, than if I decided to tell them I was going to trade stocks, it's just the way it is - people react to the anxiety before hand, but often accept the victory if your good enough to pull it off.\n\n- - -\n\nAlso and to hell with this burying the lead concept. Do you want.\n\nThe best page of any story isn't the first one, if you want to grab peoples attention just say curse words - you should be striving to craft what you want to manifest, what art/story/whatever you want.\n\nHarry Potter isn't good because of the first page, it's good because theirs something deeper throughout every word, sentence, and story within that. \n\nGood luck on your future writing. Rarely do people find success without going off the beaten path. How else could it be?",
