*Thread* - Needing nothing attracts everything

Building your kingdom

Do they need you more than you need them?

Answering this question honestly, can almost always predict the outcome

(Sales, Dates, Friendships...anything)

Are you inviting them to your kingdom

Or are you inviting yourself into their kingdom?
Be like the lighthouse

Firm & grounded

In the country (life) you’ve built

You shine so bright those who see the lighthouse are attracted to come

Getting out of the sea into certainty
To the promise land, where their needs & desires are met
Fill your own cup
Build your country

Then you need nothing

Needing nothing attracts everything

Now when you invite people to your kingdom

it is genuinely more needed/desired by them

Because you live there, you already have it & invite them to share in it
But if it is you who is lost at sea

You need it more than they do

When you port they will check your passport

Make you jump through hoops, qualify yourself, prove yourself, chase

Build your kingdom & you’ll never need to chase again

You’ll already have what others chase
Less you need the more you have
More you have the more you give
More you give the more you receive

When you are lost at sea you have nothing to give

So you must always chase for entry into other people’s reality & often get rejected

Needing approval & access to that reality
It’s a uneasy feeling

Your emotional well-being is in the hands of others reactions to you

A limiting & suffocating feeling

Ignore other kingdoms for now

Drive back home. You may not like what you see
🦋 Nurture your garden & the butterfly will come

Do not chase the butterfly

Build your kingdom both internally (mindsets, frame, beliefs, state)

And externally (reflections of your state/beliefs/mindsets)
- income, hobbies, relationships, social circle, etc
🏰 Seek first the kingdom & all your other desires shall be added on to you

Thank you for reading

Cheers,

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.
https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):
https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
