The CyberTruck buzz reminds me of the iPhone launch:
- Everyone thought it was partially stupid (no keyboard was a VERY big deal back then).
- It's so drastically different than the norm it felt like it could take over the world or totally flop.
- At the same time, EVERYONE wanted to see one in person!

Wisdom:
Was on a phone call with @PaulYacoubian (CEO of Copy AI), he's recently started using a mechanical typewriter more often and found these benefits:
"Each word comes with an effort penalty."
"Everything that's in your brain comes out but with less words and less bloat."

I do agree that there's something very pure about writing with no electricity. It inspired me to buy a bunch more of these "cow notebooks" to fill up with notes:

Interesting:
It was ChatGPT's 1st birthday yesterday!
 |
So ChatGPT is only 1 year old....
This reminds me of the dawn of the internet:
- At first it was fringe and hard to use (GPT-3).
- Then it became pretty good and useful (GPT-4).
- Then it became very easy to use (ChatGPT).
- Then it became SUPER easy with mobile phones it took over the entire world (???).
The future of people working with their brains will become very interesting.
Picture:
Me and some friends went to a "Game Show Birthday" where you compete on different games:

I think this video would better explain it:

It was actually REALLY FUN and highly recommended!
Essay:
In November 2023 these are the number of accounts reached from each tentacle of Copywriting Course:
• YouTube: 124,000
• CopywritingCourse.com: 87,922
• SwipeFile.com: 42,517
• Instagram: 51,000
• TikTok: 258,000
• Email: 58,650
• Total: 622,089
I have noticed social media is faaaarrr eclipsing organic SEO.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but I THINK I have a plan to reverse that in 2024 where reliance on social platforms is decreased.
Our community is so fun and awesome, and I want to expand it (without ruining the good vibe).
Splurge:
These are better than drugs...

One of my all-time favorite products on the planet are: Soft ear plugs!
I use them to sleep every night, and I use them to get deep focused work done.
I keep a pair in my bedroom, my desk, and my laptop bag.
I re-use each pair many times but they are essentially disposable.
 |
I can use basically any old ear plugs for a while, but if you wear them all the time some brands hurt your ears. These also block 32 decibels of sound.
I like this brand because they're "softer" than traditional ear plugs.
 |
Maybe these would be a cool stocking stuff for someone you know! I use these things every single day and love them :)
I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
