How to be a better critical thinker:
— Adam Grant (@AdamMGrant) February 8, 2025
1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to people you disagree with
2. Look for flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in arguments you dislike
3. Learn from sources that engage with competing ideas

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I have very little sympathy for AAP politicians after their frequent flirtrations with bigotry, but the education/healthcare revolution was very real.

And implemented by people with far bigger hearts than their leaders.
Things will never be the same again.

DOGE will become the standard across the western world.
The old style of politics that enabled corruption and abuse of public funds is dead.
Accountability and transparency is now the standard.

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

Life is beautiful. Cherish the little moments, and the world will come alive in ways you never imagined.
One of Einstein's habits was considered pure madness.
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
Until researchers studied the science behind it.
Now, efficiency experts are copying his controversial approach.
Here's why Einstein's "sockless philosophy" was 100 years ahead of its time: pic.twitter.com/GvTGVg9TM5
"So I stopped wearing socks."
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
This simple solution exemplified Einstein's approach to problem-solving:
Find the root cause. Remove it completely.
Don't patch temporary solutions.
But here's where it gets fascinating: pic.twitter.com/xQPKjRPgdu
This "sockless philosophy" extended to his entire daily routine:
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
He structured his days meticulously.
Took regular walks for problem-solving.
And even used a spoon over a metal plate during his afternoon naps to wake himself up.
Einstein understood something crucial:
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
By eliminating unnecessary choices, you preserve mental energy for important decisions.
His walks weren't just for exercise - they were for deep thinking.
His naps weren't just for rest - they were for mental renewal. pic.twitter.com/WVPwtMIWwL
The science behind this is fascinating:
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
Our brains have limited decision-making capacity each day.
The more choices we make, the harder each subsequent decision becomes.
This is why Einstein's approach was revolutionary: pic.twitter.com/sYSiKxQsHa
He created what psychologists now call "decision minimalism":
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
• Eliminate unnecessary choices
• Create consistent routines
• Focus energy on what matters most
But there's something even deeper here:
Einstein's approach wasn't just about efficiency.
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
It was about creating space for creativity and breakthrough thinking.
His long walks allowed his mind to wander.
His simple routines freed his brain for complex problem-solving.
Modern research confirms:
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
Decision fatigue is real.
The more choices you make throughout the day, the harder each one becomes.
Eventually, your brain looks for shortcuts, leading to:
• Impulsive decisions
• Poor judgment
• Mental exhaustion pic.twitter.com/nByskQAfup
Here's how to apply Einstein's "sockless philosophy":
— samyr (@samyr_q) January 6, 2025
1. Identify your "socks" - recurring problems that drain mental energy
2. Create daily routines that eliminate decision-making
3. Preserve mental energy for what truly matters
This thread is quite impressive, actually.
