There’s that quote often attributed to Einstein calling compound interest the eighth wonder of the world. We all sort of understand compounding intellectually, but I think most of us don't fully grasp how insane it becomes over time.
I’ve always been obsessed with automation. For years, I’ve been w…

30 Jan 2026, 17:10 UTC438 views4 reactionsread 8 August 2026 Taxis are a great place to practice mindfulness. It takes much less discipline than most other situations. The car is moving, so I cannot really be on my phone. I usually do not want to talk to the driver. There is nothing to do. Perfect conditions for a mini Vipassana. I focus on as many sensations as I can find in the body and relax into them and then I get out of the car slightly renewed.
They are also a good pla…

First, an important thing to say, especially for people who feel hesitant.
You do not need to be a musician to come.
You don’t need experience.
You don’t need “good rhythm”.
I’ll give a few very basic pointers at the start, and that’s more than enough. After that, it’s not about technique or skill. It’s about attention. Listening. Being…

You know it’s irrational. You can literally see that it makes no sense. And yet you can’t stop thinking about it. You keep indulging it, catastrophizing, looping. Something inside you says you must think this through.
What’s going on?
A framing that makes a lot of sense to me is this: we know the body a…

At first it felt like a contradiction, but it doesn’t anymore. One is about forward motion. The other is about how peaceful I am along the way.

I was obsessed with productivity and efficiency in my 20s. I experimented with so many variables to work better, and a lot of the learnings from that period became my defaults and stuck with me to this day. One of those variables was room temperature.
A few days ago, a friend visited and said my place felt very cold. I haven't thought about this in a while and it surprised me. In t…

New Tech Channel
After decades of coding, I genuinely thought I didn’t enjoy it anymore. Building things just stopped being fun. But this new wave of tech and AI, the whole new way of working with products, how insanely fast and efficient everything is now, somehow brought back the excitement I had when I was thirteen secretly making websites about Egyptian pyramids at four in the morning.
I’ve been in front of the…

When I talk with people about my somatic practices, I often hear something like “yeah, running is my release” or “tennis is my release.” And no, that’s not what I mean. When I say somatic practice I mean something very specific.
With physical activities or sports, you have some kind of external goal or at least controlled movement. There are levels to your performance. You’re trying to…

Next thing you know, I’m deep in this anxious loop, trying to understand all the how’s and why’s so it never happens again. And it feels so natural, so necessary, like of course I need to figure it out right now.
But then with these new somatic techniques I’ve learned, where I actual…

How much of it was planned, and how much of it was a pure chance?
People love to say on social media that their life turned out the way it did because they were so deliberate. Because they were so good at knowing what they want and going for it.
For me, I realized that most of my life-changing moments happened by pure chance. A random encounter, a te…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @vahesthoughts. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
