Smart people foolishly ignore their health, too.
Munger's framework applied:
0. incentive bias: payoff now versus in 30 years
1. slow boiling frog: increments too small to notice
2. public consistency: "I don't need sleep"
3. denial - "I'll deal with it later"
4. persian messenger syndrome - skip the tests
The asset that makes all other assets grow? Health.
We fill our days mostly on things that are trivial next to what we ultimately care about. We know, deep down, however, that in the noise of it all, health is easily forgotten until it’s the only thing that matters.
We spend a fraction of our lives truly sober to the preciousness of life. We feel it when someone we love dies, when a child is born, when we come close to death ourselves, or when a diagnosis marks our limit. In those moments, we are sobered, and the rarity of it all becomes self evident. Imagine the existence we’d build together if that clarity didn’t fade.
I wish all of you the very best. Care for yourself, care for others, care for the planet and care for our animal friends. Care for life as it’s the most precious gift there is.
$AMZN Prime Day online spending reached a record $26.4B, topping expectations and rising 9.3% year over year.

Wow, this is so cool. The Tesla Cybercab has exterior microphones on the B-pillars so first responders can speak to Tesla Support from outside the vehicle.
There is speakers on the underside so first responders can have a two-way conversation from outside (plus additional speakers and mics in the cabin). So smart.
The longevity world is crowded with expensive answers. After years inside it, the ones I actually trust are almost embarrassingly cheap. 8 hour Sleeps. Weight lifting for Muscle. Exposured to Sunlight. Things you do, not things you buy.

I just ran the numbers, and this is the most oversold the 20 period RSI (essentially a one month look back) has ever been in the history of the stock. The only other 3 times the RSI came close to being this oversold was in August 2021, December 2021, and March 2021.
These are the two-day returns after the RSI bottomed:
August 2021: 10.25% in 2 days
December 2021: 15.62% in 2 days
March 2022: 37.75% in 1 day
Volume picking up while RSI quietly diverges...
Meanwhile, the CEO spent close to $150 MILLION on shares in March...
Is this a comeback of the year candidate? $TTD
Most of what we call scarce is just abundance we have not organized yet. The water sits in the ocean. The energy pours from the sky. The knowledge floats in the air around us. The hard part is the delivery!
Your age on paper is a receipt! Your age in your cells is the truth, and we can read it. Here's the interesting part: two people born in the same year can now test more than a decade apart in biological age.
Exercise, sleep, eating habits, stress, all compounds!
Tolerance for uncertainty is the most valuable human trait. It’s easy to show up when the rewards are certain. When everything makes sense. When the path is entirely clear. But life is filled with challenging detours. Long and winding. Full of doubt and stagnation. And those detours are actually what shape who you become. The real rewards in life go to those who show up every single day when the rewards are uncertain. Without a guarantee. Those who take the next step forward when they can’t see where their foot is going to land. Winners aren’t the smartest or most talented. Winners are the ones who can hold their nerve the longest. The one who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the one who will eventually win.
Imagine getting into a Waymo/Cybercab and telling it where to go, only for it to argue with you about whether you should be allowed to get there.
That's where we are with frontier models that silently downgrade you mid-task. It begs the question, should companies limit or choose how much intelligence you can access?
Fable is currently export controlled & rumors are that 5.6 will also be subject to an approval framework. Whatever jiu jitsu the Chinese are using to get us slow down our own frontier models while letting their models run free appears to be working. Who is capturing who? 🧐🇺🇸
