Hey, I'm Brady 👋

When the half-life of knowledge is short, speed and adaptability are your leverage.

Go deep on what lasts - it’s worth the study.

Treat the rest like tools: learn what you need, use it to build, then move on.

Thoughts, feelings, and shared experiences—transcends time and space.

Thoughts and emotions that create bonds of attachment between us have no difficulty in crossing seas and decades, sometimes even centuries, tied to thin sheets of paper or dancing between the microchips of a computer. We are part of a network that goes far beyond the few days of our lives and the few square meters that we tread.

— The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli

The past can be remembered or regretted, the future is full of possibility.

We cannot change the past; we can have regrets, remorse, memories. The future instead is uncertainty, desire, anxiety, open space, destiny, perhaps. We can live toward it, shape it, because it does not yet exist. Everything is still possible… Time is not a line with two equal directions: it is an arrow with different extremities.

— The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli

Wisdom is the perseverance to make the right sacrifices over time for a richer, more fulfilling life.

Perhaps the deepest insight that comes from thinking about later life as a chance to exploit knowledge acquired over decades is this: life should get better over time. What an explorer trades off for knowledge is pleasure.

— Algorithms to Life By, Brian Christian, Tom Griffiths

The illusory safety of inaction leads to fragility; trying, learning leads to growth and adaptation.

To try and fail is at least to learn; to fail to try is to suffer the inestimable loss of what might have been.

― Chester Barnard
