Motivation: Focus on You
Stop obsessing over others’ lives. If you are always thinking about how better off or worse off others are, you’ll never be able to focus on your own goals 💯💯💯

I was never the popular girl in school. I was the wallflower, the quiet girl, the short skinny girl that sits at the corner of the class. I was made fun of for having chopsticks as legs but I never really mind.
But I used my disadvantages as my advantages. I wanted some muscles on my bones. So I put on a pair of running shoes and started my fitness journey. A 5km run, 10km run then a half marathon, and finally a full marathon. I built up that endurance overtime. But very quickly I fell in love with strength training, lifting weights and the gym instead. Truth is I was chasing the confidence in my own skin.
Never give up on your goals or dreams. Keep chasing them. I’ve changed the method soo many times before, but never the dream.
Fall down once, get up 8 more times.
why 8? No specific reason but 8 is a very lucky number in Chinese culture
Here’s to another amazing new week!
AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
