Saturday-Pentacle // Issue 214 // Week 11 // 2022

Hi Friends!

Greetings from Mumbai!

Here is this week’s Saturday-Pentacle. A list of things and ideas I found Interesting.

Issue 214 // Week 11 // 2022

An article I found interesting —

Die with zero – This article from Khe Hy (from radreads.co) talks about the book Die with zero and the philosophy it talks about – If you die with > zero then you failed at fully optimizing your life.

It resonates with me. That whatever impact you want to have on the world why you want to think about leaving a legacy when you are gone? Do it while you are alive. You want to work on climate change? Work on it right now.

There is a concept from the stoic philosophy called memento mori which literally means inevitability of death. This whole Die with zero concept works around memento mori.

An Insta video I found interesting —

9 short rules for a better life – Ryan Holiday shares these 9 rules from stoic philosophy, I resonate with all of them.

A Tweet thread I found fascinating —

This thread by Wes Kao on maximizing your reading experience was like a course correction in the way I read.

Check it out.

A video I found interesting —

What are smart contracts in Crypto? – Very well explained concept of Smart Contracts. This video also explains smart contracts in context of crypto. Also their fundamental properties –

1. They are immutable.
2. They are distributed.

Great video from Whiteboard Crypto to get started with Smart Contracts.

Quote which I found meaningful –

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

— Lao Tzu

Until Next Saturday!

Thanks for supporting and reading.
