Hello <<First Name>>,
Here is your monthly update on what I’m creating and exploring!
🌞 What's new
Hello from São Miguel, the main island of the Azores archipelago. I’ll stay here for the next six weeks, working on new content and participating in two more retreats.

I enjoy including my travels in the content I make, mixing ideas with landscapes. I'm trying to create a positive feedback-loop between my interests, lifestyle and creative work, in order to build my specific knowledge, as Naval Ravikant calls it:
"To build specific knowledge, go as authentic as you can. No one can compete with you on that. Follow your intellectual curiosity more than whatever is “hot” right now. If your curiosity ever leads you to a place where society eventually wants to go, you’ll get paid extremely well."
I will keep sharing my progress with you, and hopefully teach you soon how you can do that too.

A hunter gatherer's guide to the 21st century by Brett Weinstein and Heather Heying
We live in a hyper-novel world: our species’ pace of change outstrips our ability to adapt. To survive the next decades, we need to understand what is evolutionary true and build carefully on top of that. >> READ MY NOTES

Transcend by Scott Kaufman
Even though Self-Actualization might appear a selfish endeavour, paradoxically it's a fundamental step toward transcending the Self and serving others best. >> READ MY NOTES

💲 Remember the Universal Basic Income ($UBI) project I mentioned in June? Recently, Vitalik Buterin - founder of Ethereum - has bought and burned 200k$ worth of UBI, increasing its market value and recognition. If you're into crypto, keep an eye on this project. I believe it has great potential to grow.

👌 Top picks
🎬 I loved the series Nine Perfect Strangers: during a wellness retreat, the spiritual leader (Nicole Kidman) secretly gives the participants micro-doses of psilocybin. What happens next is.. thrilling and fascinating.
📻 So much good music this month I don’t know where to start! The healing sounds of Infinite Universe by Beautiful Chorus (thanks Marta), the amazing piano of Medellin by Sofiane Pamart, the transcendental vibes of Heart by Sainte Vie, the instant classic Ties by Bonobo and the bouncy happy tune A dream I have by TEED.
🌍 Do you miss travelling? This video of portraits from around the world will fill your heart and flood your body with oxytocin.
👀 This GIF makes you wonder if reality is a simulation. Hint: it is.
That’s a wrap folks.
Stay inspired,
Dario
