@midjourney I live in the city, can I get an invite?

Everything we call civilization was invented in the last 500 generations—way too short a time for our bodies and brains to re-optimize. We're a bunch of primates in a totally unnatural environment, trying our best. Good thing to keep in mind!

I read all 40,000 words from Jeff Bezos' Amazon shareholder letters.

Here are 9 lessons worth your time:

Be pleasantly surprised by everything that happens. Life is more fun that way.

@BillyM2k Normal money is actually a bunch of ancient mainframes running cobol in batch mode, where govt can edit money database whenever they want

[Mike Schroepfer @schrep]

@supercimomo Given Tesla's ability to capture and label data at fleet-wide scale this is a smart approach. Computer Vision continues to advance quickly and we have a proof point in that human drivers don't need radar :).

@MarcusHouse It will have high pressure air rocket thrusters behind a license plate that flips down. Bong, James Bong …

The stuff *you* are made of isn't so much cells as it is information. Your cells are a disposable encoding layer, renewed over time. What gets propagated through spacetime isn't a specific set of cells, it's your information.

@garyblack00 Gary, what do you think of Warren Buffet’s warning about inflation, set to especially be damaging to growth stocks...?

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Buffett once said: “It’s not about timing the market, it’s about time in market.”

There should be a step down in capital gains tax for individuals as they hold stocks. 20% per year decrease in cap gains tax. 0% after a five year hold period.

Incentivize long term behavior.

@garyblack00 Unless they buy it to eventually fund buying their own stock in the future - BTC only going up according to even convential analysts and investment banks - latest 2021 Ark report shows this with real data to back up. Number of long term HODLers much higher vs past years

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.

Science is discovering the essential truths about what exists in the Universe, engineering is about creating things that never existed

DeepMind solving protein folding is an incredible accomplishment. Perhaps this will result in the first Nobel Prize being awarded for a machine learning model.
