Munger: "I don’t go to meetings. Warren doesn’t go to meetings. Put that in your article: There’s practically no meetings in the whole Berkshire culture. There are a few telephone calls and no meetings. I don’t care if you print this. Warren gets a headache if he’s in a big meeting where a lot of other people are saying dumb things. He gets a sick headache. He’s not feigning it. He actually does."

Tony Robbins has the best take on why men and women process emotions so differently:

"Men don't share their feelings, because their job is to solve a problem. In a man's world, the more you solve problems, the more you move up the hierarchy of being a man. In a woman's world, you share your problems so you can connect and feel for the person."

Interviewer: “You grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and you find yourself in Ann Arbor, University of Michigan . How did that happen?”

Charlie Munger: “Very simple. I wanted to go to Stanford.” 😂

“My father said to me, Charlie I’ve 2 daughters right after you to educate. I don’t have unlimited money to send you to Stanford.”

“Well…what was I going to say? Screw you and send me to Stanford? I didn’t say that and joined University of Michigan.”

Dario Amodei was asked if a one-person company hits a billion dollars in 2026.

"I'd absolutely bet that."

his own product chief, on the same stage: "the future isn't about AI doing human work. it's about AI helping humans do super human work."

in a 72-min keynote, the two of them lay out what one person plus a stack of agents can now carry

one human → a stack of agents → output that used to need a floor of staff

the first solo fortunes are being built on exactly that setup

Graham Weaver: "trying to find internal validation through external achievement is like drinking salt water to quench your thirst"

"for 30 years I was rushing to reach some future day where everything would be fine - when our firm had its first big payday and the wire hit, nothing happened"

"everything you want in life is on the other side of worse first - if you want to reach the next peak, you have to be willing to walk through the valley first"

"a high attribute person doing something that lights them up over a long period of time is the most powerful formula in business - give yourself that power"

The problem is not people being uneducated.

The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.

A Stanford psychiatrist says modern anxiety is not caused by danger.

It's caused by tiny habits that teach your body to panic when nothing is actually wrong.

You do them every day.
And you call them normal.

An Indian institute filmed a professor teaching classical physics with no notes, no slides, and a green board. Almost nobody outside India watches it.

This is Classical Physics, lecture 1, taught by V. Balakrishnan at IIT Madras, published free by NPTEL, India's national open courseware programme.

Balakrishnan taught at IIT Madras for decades. Students who sat in that room describe the same thing: the whole subject held in his head, delivered in order, no paper on the podium.

Lecture 1 is the introduction. What classical mechanics claims, where the claims hold, and the exact points where they stop holding and quantum takes over.

Watch how he speaks. Complete sentences, no filler, each idea finished before the next begins. Rare in any lecture hall on any continent.

A physicist I know worked through the whole NPTEL series and rates it above the western courses he paid for.

Free on YouTube, 17 years online, low resolution, no marketing.

The teaching was never concentrated in the famous universities.

“I gave a problem to all of my 8 children, I said: “Well there’s a sport in America, and the national champion became the national champion on 2 separate occasions, 65 years apart. Name the activity.”

“7 of them couldn’t remotely do it. The 8th is a PhD physicist and he did it in 15 seconds.”

“He said, no 85 year old would win athletic thing, also it couldn’t be chess because he knew what a chess tournament is like.”

“That led him to Checkers, a game you can almost master with experience. So almost all problems in life can be solved when you turn them around. Inversion helps.”

This is the youngest billionaire you never heard of...

He was a pizza boy who built Gymshark into a $1.3B company with only $500.

His strategy was so simple but GENIUS that Nike, Puma and Adidas executives couldn't believe it.
