Sharing some of those learnings for common benefits.

c. Build Chat (whatsapp) groups with people you share a common identity with eg Those who are equally passionate as you about Gyming or Starting up. And cherish that identity with them.
d. Write down your closest friends and what identity do you share with them. Identity could come from a hobby like Playing Chess, Squash, Foodies, etc. Shared dreams like starting up, traveling the world, Mastering a domain/technology, etc.
2. The Many
When changing your habit means challenging the tribe, change is unattractive. When changing your habits means fitting it with the tribe, change is very attractive.
a. Tribes you can change : Find right kind of organization as you spend most of your time around those people. Tough to avoid their views from impacting yours.
b. Tribes you can't change: Find out where your beliefs conflict with your tribe. If you write them down, it will get so easy for you to get objective about them. The expectation gap would stop troubling you henceforth.
c) Friendship is a tribe we choose. Network with people you share an identity with.
d.Recommendation Engines do such a beautiful job in curating ur feeds as per your desired https://t.co/GoW2DZqYhd be the movie selection that Netflix builds for u or the feed that flows into ur Twitter page.

I shared this on my FB page and asked, can ya really blame him?
I was half kidding. I also assumed someone would think of what I did pretty quickly and waiting for the comment to mention what I assumed was obvious.
The timing. I was sure someone else had thought of it.
But no one did. 20+ comments in people discussed the morality or bad sense or libertarian perspectives. Someone even said I’m thinking about doing that. No one said what I thought was obvious. Have you thought of it? Is it obvious to you?
Here’s a clue...recognize it?
How about this?
The author discusses it with Mike Wallace in 1958

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
