Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Complex

ArticlesTim featured this 1× · 2023 · Michael Schulman · newyorker.com

“Ridley Scott’s ‘Napoleon’ Complex” by Michael Schulman for The New Yorker. Ridley Scott is the filmmaker behind cult classics and mega-blockbusters, such as Blade Runner, Gladiator, Alien, Black Hawk Down, and many more. He is also the director behind the iconic Apple “1984” commercial. Millions know his movies, but far fewer realize that Ridley didn’t release his first feature film until he was 40. Bonus: for a 10-second laugh involving Ridley Scott that you won’t get in the profile, take a gander at this.— Tim Ferriss

Wild Tales

Misc VideosTim featured this 1× · 2023 · amazon.com

Wild Tales by Pedro Almodóvar. This was recommended to me by a Colombian friend, as I wanted to resurrect my Spanish prior to a trip to South America. It’s gorgeously shot, impeccably directed, and it will make you laugh and cringe in equal measure. Here’s the description: “[An] award-winning anthology from Argentina composed of six short films united by a common theme of tragedy, revenge, and violence found in everyday detail. Nominated for 2015 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.” You can find the trailer here.— Tim Ferriss

Organ Blend 95/5 from Maui Nui Venison. From the description: “The best-tasting grind always comes from a mix of muscles from the entire animal. Our ground venison includes trim from neck to leg, loin to belly, and everything in between, ensuring a richness and depth of flavor like no other. With knowledge gained from our recent nutrient analysis, we have made a more balanced 5% organ blend, containing 3.5% liver and 1.5% heart. Since the liver and heart of our venison contain superior nutrient density, this blend offers the benefits of organ meat with an improved flavor profile.” I also sugge— Tim Ferriss

“Olympic Basketball & The Grateful Dead.” The opener: “In 1992, the iconic Grateful Dead music band helped sponsor Lithuania’s national basketball team, a talented but financially-strapped squad that went on to win bronze at the Barcelona Olympics. Their story was a magical tale of tie-dyes, basketball glory, and the birth of a new nation.”— Tim Ferriss

The Ladder of Inference.

The Ladder of Inference. This is a framework for finding common ground, or solvable delusions and divergences, rather than simply arguing over conclusions. Paired with The Work by Byron Katie, it’s also a powerful heuristic for stress-testing your own (often limiting) beliefs. Thanks to Sheila Heen of the Harvard Negotiation Project for introducing me to this concept during our conversation on the podcast.— Tim Ferriss

The Five Minute Journal

The Five Minute Journal (Intelligent Change, Amazon). I use two types of journaling and alternate between them: Morning Pages and The Five Minute Journal. The former I use primarily for getting unstuck or problem-solving (what should I do?); the latter I use for prioritizing and gratitude (how should I focus and execute?). The only thing I dislike about The Five Minute Journal? Their lack of hyphenation.— Tim Ferriss

Rodtang vs. Superlek. Billed as “the biggest Thai boxing fight of all time,” this short fight showcases many weapons of Muay Thai, including the sharpest: elbows. The art of eight limbs is the fullest of full-contact, especially with MMA gloves. I think the outcome was a robbery, but there’s no denying the action.— Tim Ferriss

Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story. I recently attended an event where politics was in the air, and someone recommended this doc as a tutorial in how Machiavellian campaigns are actually run, how the sausage is made, and how damage is inflicted. If you are cynical about politics, as I am, this will 10x your tendencies, but it might also make you less susceptible to the everyday deception that has become acceptable in our current systems.— Tim Ferriss

“When you lied on your résumé.” “You can’t put this in 5BF,” I told myself for a few weeks.

QuotesTim featured this 1× · 2023

“To learn to be always in a state of meditation means never to let your vital energy wane. You would never allow it to do so if it were certain that you were to die tomorrow. It wanes because you forget about death. Grit your teeth, fix your gaze, and observe death at this moment. You have to feel it so strongly that it seems as if it’s attacking you. Fearless energy comes from this. At this moment, death is right before your eyes. It’s not something you can afford to neglect.” — Suzuki Shōsan (1579–1655)
