the status quo is just a comfort zone with better marketing.
it’s not sacred. it’s not optimal. it’s just what we settled for when we stopped asking “why?” every system, every process, every “that’s how we’ve always done it” needs to prove itself or get out of the way.
first principles or nothing. strip away the assumptions. break things down to their core. rebuild from truth, not tradition. maybe there’s a better way. maybe the old way actually works. but you won’t know until you question everything.

this isn’t about rebellion for its own sake. it’s about understanding. when you question the norm, you find what’s worth keeping and what’s holding us back. first principles separate signal from noise.
not everything needs burning down. but everything needs questioning. thoughtful evaluation splits foundations from dead weight.
comfort is the enemy of better. the status quo is just the best we’ve done so far. it’s not the best we can do.
question everything. build what’s missing. break what’s broken.
comfort kills progress. stay uncomfortable.
