Bankster Life

Just another day in bankster's paradise.

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

@tferriss No offense but you also seem to be less relevant than you were 10 years ago.

@MartinCothran Same could be said about classical private school students vs traditional public school students. The classical kids are missing a lot of shared context and jokes nearly everyone in the real world has.

@paulg @aphysicist It’s at least somewhat predictable. I think you are overstating how stupid investors are.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Helpful tool for improvement. It’s just physics thinking in the limit.

I started talking to my co-founder like Claude

It’s always hard.

You get better at certain decisions, but then even harder ones appear.

If it never ends, a key skill is endurance and managing your emotions.

So, work on that.

PS that doesn’t necessarily mean doing it alone.

Stop being retarded, start Retardmaxing

Being retarded means you’re ruminating and overthinking your decision

Retardmaxing means you’re making decisions based on your gut instinct — zero rumination, zero regrets

Stop being retarded, start #Retardmaxing

Self-knowledge isn't pre-installed. You acquire it by doing a massive volume of reps. Epiphanies only come after you've done the work -- they're just the final piece snapping into infrastructure you previously built.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

People get rewarded in public for what they practice in private.

Tony Robbins dropped this on Theo Von’s podcast while talking about Steph Curry:

The greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history has taken over 2.5 million shots in practice — 500 shots every single day for years. That’s why he releases the ball and turns around before it even goes in. He already knows.

That level of unseen work is insane. We celebrate the highlight, but greatness is built in the boring, repetitive hours no one sees.

Real success isn’t luck or talent alone, it’s the compound effect of consistent private practice.

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

my gut reaction to ai in math is i'm excited about getting access to an infinitely patient teacher that's near expert in every area of math.

this is possibly the best time in history to be doing math as a hobby.

@ninja_maths Is there anything like MA but for verbal reasoning and reading comprehension?
