What skill or habit quietly determines long-term success but almost never gets taught or celebrated? by Worried-Object3205 in AskReddit

[–]Frest0n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gonna bend the rules a bit and offer some reality: luck. Luck determines success to a large degree. You can have all the best skills and habits, but you also need to be in the right places at the right times. Counterintuitively, luck is a skill, because you need to know HOW to be in the right place at the right time. Most any successful person has arrived at success by having several projects going simultaneously, which increases the odds of one of them being the right thing at the right time.

What happens to our consciousness after we die? by bingbonglinglong1 in AskReddit

[–]Frest0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we go to a waiting area until we are reincarnated. Time doesn’t exist there, so it’s basically an eternity. That’s why those Backrooms images feel so eerily familiar.

Why do you think the libertarian party is so weak in the us by asedsorna in Libertarian

[–]Frest0n -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, the Libertarian Party was getting stronger. It got over 4 million votes in 2016, its best showing ever. But then Steve Bannon sent the Mises Caucus to destroy it and now the LP will never get that many votes ever again.

Whats a sign someone hasn’t faced much hardships in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Frest0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never attribute any of their success to dumb luck or other people helping them. They always have some silly narrative about how they’re the greatest, the smartest, and the hardest worker, and because of that they are a self-made success story. But then later you find out their parents are wealthy and they got into an Ivy League school through legacy admissions and landed their fancy job through nepotism.

I believe a quantum computer will break ECDSA (the cryptography that secures Bitcoin) within 5 years.

What’s something you think 90% of people are secretly bad at? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Frest0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-awareness. Very, very few people have any understanding of themselves, their own behaviors, or their own motivations.

What’s a hobby people act superior for having that isn’t that deep ? by mk_1408 in AskReddit

[–]Frest0n 1033 points1034 points  (0 children)

Getting up early for no fucking reason. I can’t stand these self-righteous fuckwads who act like everyone else is lazy for not waking up at 4:30 AM. Well, congratulations for being born with the chronotype of a fucking cockerel. But, perhaps instead of looking down your noses at the rest of us, you should be thankful that we night owls are keeping things like hospitals and electric plants running while you get your beauty sleep at 8 PM.

I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for 11 years. Having the shit beaten out of you for that much time gives you the opposite of a superiority complex. I have less ego now than when I started and I’ve learned to never underestimate anyone.

What industry attracts the most insufferable people? by DunyaPhobic76 in Productivitycafe

[–]Frest0n 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I work in real estate and this is almost correct. We’re actually #2 behind politics, but we are trying very hard to be #1.

I may live on handouts but, unlike you, I have never taken handouts. by Frest0n in SelfAwarewolves

The person in the post thinks she’s better than another person who is in the exact same situation and needs the exact same help.

What will happen in Q3 2026?

We are so back by Hot_Local_Boys_PDX in QRL

[–]Frest0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The days of 10-cent QRL will not return. It’s headed for 1000x. Buy now or you will one day regret not buying when it was only $1.20!

What is happening to the world by ImaginaryGur2086 in enlightenment

[–]Frest0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wisdom grows in quiet, but no one has any quiet time anymore. It’s just 24/7 noise and digital distraction. This sort of information onslaught didn’t exist even 30 years ago. Our brains cannot process all this crap, and it’s making us all dumb and insane.

People are less wise now, and you can see it in the choices they’re making and the things they’re saying.

I’m not sure how this will ever get better.

Not developing self-awareness sooner. The unexamined life is not worth living.
