This blog post on dating.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thingofthings.wordpress.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;25&#x2F;models-a-summary&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thingofthings.wordpress.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;05&#x2F;25&#x2F;models-a-summ...</a><p>Alright, it&#x27;s not really a blog post about <i>dating</i>, per se. It&#x27;s more of a blog post about <i>becoming the kind of person</i> who maxes out their dateability, no matter what their starting physical&#x2F;mental&#x2F;spiritual condition.<p>It&#x27;s hard to explain what reading this post did to me. There are a few times in my life where I consciously decided to switch life trajectories radically and become someone entirely different. First age 8, when I vowed to become an idiot. After reading this was the second one, age 24, where I vowed to become a <i>sexy</i> idiot. I printed it out at the college library and reread it every day at breakfast - a strategy I highly recommend to my fellow nimrods. And, voila, age 25 when I, the jester, moved countries with no passport, no job lined up, and no plan, to go live with the woman who I would eventually call my wife.<p>Now I&#x27;m <i>her</i> sexy idiot. Progress!

I have two that I keep coming back to and function as the ying and yang in my mental model.<p>* Industrial Society and Its Future by Ted Kaczynski. The first half I reread often because it is a short critique of technology&#x2F;technique and the effect that it has on our life. Though not original, it touches on this feeling that we are enslaved to our tools. It also reminds me that &quot;no, i&#x27;m not crazy&quot; this world is totally absurd and the way we live makes no sense. Obviously, if you take this philosophy to its natural extreme you need to go live in the woods and suffer. Which is kind of larping.<p>* This is Water by David Foster Wallace. I reread this and hand out copies of this book to people all the time. For me it speaks to the part of me that knows that it is important to choose wisely what you focus your thoughts on, because if I don&#x27;t the automatic monologue in my head will take over. It will start with complaining. It will continue with painting everything black. It will make me misrable and incapable of enjoying the beauty in life.<p>I am trying to break out of these two book being so influential because I feel like to grow I need to evolve a new understanding and have new ideas to toy with.<p>Anyone have recommendation?

ADHD - A Lifelong Struggle <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gekk.info&#x2F;articles&#x2F;adhd.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gekk.info&#x2F;articles&#x2F;adhd.html</a><p>This article made me question if the author was describing my life rather than their own, so I went and got checked for ADHD. 2 years, a diagnosis, and a medication regime later, I&#x27;m absolutely fucking slaying it and it was this article that sparked the change.

This is from a million years ago, so is technically a &#x27;letter distributed via usenet&#x27;, not a blog post. I would be impressed if somebody is able to find a copy of it again.<p>Like many young developers, I once aspired to be a game developer. But then I read a public letter by somebody at Origin Systems (possibly named Bill Armintrout?) who explained what a grind it is to work in the game industry and how [humorously] maybe he should just get a job working on boring business software instead.<p>I might have the details wrong; this was probably 30+ years ago! But it did make me aware that <i>doing the thing you love for a day job can kill your love for that thing</i>, which I have also seen happen to other people. So I focused my career on intellectually fulfilling work in a different industry, leaving me free to happily tinker with game development as a hobby in my spare time.

Battles can be real even if they don&#x27;t involve actual physical fighting. If I, like the author of this post, am a pacifist, it&#x27;s best if I try to stay disengaged or uninvolved.<p>2. Many people play a certain role in a battle, and it&#x27;s helpful to understand what role a person is playing as you interact with them. That is, are they a soldier, a general, or a diplomat?

It is difficult to choose a one blog post among all. But I feel there are few type of post which changed my thought process are blogs written by experts in the field. I love reading how they think about something whether its a computer program or science or cooking or hobby they have. Also more than just a blog I love reading author, if I like something about blog I go deep read their other blogs as well and if I feel the guy is worth following I just start reading their blogs and I do read repetitively.

Suffice to say it altered my thinking about future roles. Search HN for many prior discussions here of that post.
