And somewhere in there I'd say there's a fourth decision: When you decide to change your status signaling from things like beauty, power, and material achievement, to things like integrity, competence, and helpfulness.
Almost everyone is geared toward signaling. As social creatures we're deeply wired to signal value to others.
But there's a lot of flexibility in how we signal that.
-We can signal it with shallower things like beauty, lambos, hierarchical dominance, etc. The details will vary between men and women but they have a similar short time preference that few old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.
-Or we can signal it with deeper things like integrity, honesty, helpfulness, friendliness, generosity, providing unique thoughts, or providing wisdom. The details will vary based on profession and skillset but they also have a similar long time preference that most old people on their deathbed wished they had focused more on.
3 decisions shape your life.
1. Who you marry
2. When you finally decide to prioritize your health
3. When you get into bitcoin
