- [I Lied, It's Not Just About Delusion](https://alexg.sh/blog/i-lied-its-not-just-about-delusion.mdx): The truth is that delusion alone will not address the entirety of your challenges. While delusion may lead you to achieve certain goals and discover new possibilities, it is not a comprehensive solution.
- [You're Late, But Not Far](https://alexg.sh/blog/youre-late-but-not-far.mdx): Most things have already been done, most ideas you've had have already been done by someone more faster and skillful than you. You need to realize that whatever new idea you have, someone most likely has done it, and probably has done it better than you'd ever do it.
- [Ship Today, Not in 5 Years](https://alexg.sh/blog/ship-today-not-in-5-years.mdx): You have to ship as quickly as possible. This is the secret. In the early stages of society, nothing was perfect; however, in the people's perspective, it was more than perfect. See, perception matters a lot in business and product development.
- [Perfectionism](https://alexg.sh/blog/perfectionism.mdx): There's no lie that everything you see tends to seem perfect in your own eyes, sometimes a little too perfect to the point where it cannot be replicated. That is true for most things; however, perfectionism is a drug that you can get hooked on.
- [The Ideology of Being "Delusional"](https://alexg.sh/blog/the-ideology-of-being-delusional.mdx): I hold the belief that delusion can be a catalyst for personal growth. I envision that the idealized version of myself possesses attributes that may currently be lacking. By embracing delusion, I can embody this idealized self and simultaneously achieve it.
