Hi Friends!

Greetings from Mumbai!

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

Issue 216 // Week 13 // 2022

An article I found really interesting and pragmatic

A Simple Way to Map Out Your Career Ambitions – This HBR article is really powerful and can help you put on the course to success in your career.

From where you currently are in your career and life, to where you want to be in your career and life.

A Tweet Thread I found useful

This thread from Wes on giving feedback is old but I stumbled upon it recently and found it to be quite insightful and practically useful.

A beautiful demonstration of Science Vs Music —

CYMATIC Frequencies – This video is just spectacular, I’m so glad the internet connects you with such things which take you back to the first principles of nature. Sound and Science and how they converge into each other.

A podcast episode which I loved —

Matt Mullenweg and Tim Ferriss episode from Antarctica – This episode was such an in depth look into how Matt and Tim’s though process works.

The conversation goes from the insignificance of humans (compared to the universe and yet how they are making this life worth living) to how death of Matt’s father changed the way he thought about many of the things.

The sincerity of the conversation is like having a deep conversation with a close friend. I think that’s what is the relation between Matt and Tim and hence this came out this way.

Really interesting episode, especially if you are curious about existence, life paths and curiosity about the unknown.

Quote which I found meaningful –

“Rest at the end, not in the middle”

— Kobe Bryant

Until Next Saturday!

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!
