Gem Vault: Valuable Discoveries for 21st century Humans.
Welcome to Gem. This is page where I share discoveries that I find fascinating and valuable. Here, you'll find stuff like—YouTube videos, articles, tweets, clips, and books—that I believe will contribute to you as a human regardless of your pursuit. I may organize these resources into categories for easier navigation. It's important to note that the content isn't all original; rather, it's a collection of valuable findings I've stumbled upon, some shared by friends and individuals I genuinely respect. I don't claim credit for any of these discoveries as not all are sourced by me. Additionally, I'll be sharing insights I've gained, realizations and my own work as well, offering a blend of external discoveries and personal reflections. My aim is to present what I consider truly worthwhile and beneficial for your time and growth.

Paul Graham's Essasys
I'm linking the essay site as a whole here as well because he talks about different fields. You can choose by yourself based on your pursuit. My friend told me that PG's essays are the bible in Silicon Valley. Most of the articles here are titled as "how to do x," but I recommend you not blindly follow anyone. Read it to understand his experiences, knowledge, and wisdom he has shared and is trying to share in the book. Then reflect on who he is and his intentions in writing. Let this information guide your own original thinking.
