I love how you celebrate the beauty of weirdness, Arman! It's a refreshing perspective in a world that often pressures us to conform. Your funeral thought experiment is both hilarious and thought-provoking. It reminds me of a time when I danced like nobody was watching at a wedding, only to later find out it was the most talked-about moment of the night. It's those quirky, authentic moments that truly make life memorable.

i sat around for a long time trying to come up with a catchy title and you came up with a better one in probably less than two seconds

hadn't actually thought it could be your title but I was going to make a comment about how we're wired and then noticed that the exact same letters are in the two words.

the quirky and authentic. Love that we gotta come back to what makes us us.

our weird quirks are the only competitive advantage we have :)

:) I don't know that I see it through the lens of competitive advantage anymore. For me it's too exhausting and time wasting. to not be real. The more we are authentic, the more people will naturally find us because it's just a stronger signal. I think people don't connect to fake.
