Most people think resilience means never breaking. It does not. Resilience is how quickly you return to baseline after you break. Everyone falls. High performers just reset faster.

I’m listening to an interview with a Russian Su-34 pilot who has been taking part in the war against Ukraine since the very first days.

🔴 He claims to have 1,400 combat sorties.

The interview is more than 3 hours long. Some interesting points:

🔴 The Su-34 does not have secure, encrypted radio communications; according to him, this only appeared on the Su-34M.

🔴 On a standard Su-34, he mostly carried out missions using unguided munitions, while Su-34M aircraft, with secure communications, were used for missions involving the suppression of Ukrainian air defenses.

🔴 I don’t know how accurate this is, but according to him, on the very first night of the war he was sent to fly at 6,000 meters over Kyiv without a specific mission, then ordered to return. On the way back, he saw missiles heading toward Kyiv. He says he was used as bait to provoke Ukrainian air defenses and then strike them with missiles afterward. Knowing Russian command practices, this sounds plausible. According to him, older Su-34s were used in this way more than once.

🔴 He praises Ukrainian air defense, saying it is very well organized and decentralized.

🔴 The Buk-M1 was, in his view, the most effective Ukrainian air defense system in the early phase of the war. He does not give exact figures, but it becomes clear that Russian Air Force losses were much higher than what is commonly reported online, and a major share of that was due to the Buk system.

🔴 Ukrainian Buk units quickly changed positions and mounted their systems on semi-trucks, which significantly improved their mobility and speed of redeployment.

🔴 He also describes Ukrainian air defense tactics in an interesting way. According to him, Ukrainians realized they did not need to shoot down every enemy aircraft; instead, their goal was to down a few aircraft each time, and over time this created a cumulative effect. As a result, his combat group reportedly lost half of its aircraft during the battles for Kyiv (though he does not specify the unit size—whether a squadron or a regiment).

👍I’ll continue listening and taking notes throughout the day when I have time.

Kenya is slowly becoming a subscription economy. Rent. Internet. Netflix. AI. Software. The businesses that master recurring revenue will quietly outperform those chasing one-off sales.

🚨 SOMEONE JUST OPENED A $16 MILLION $XRP LONG.

This comes right as Bitfinex whales are aggressively adding to their $XRP positions too.

Either this is one of the craziest bets in crypto right now…

Or someone knows something the market doesn’t.

What happens when you die:

They divide up your shit.

They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.

People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.

Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.

Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.

You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.

Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.

9 DARK TRUTHS ABOUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR

1. Most People Are Self-Interested: They'll support you only if it serves them. Favor is temporary; self-interest is permanent.

2. Gratitude Is Rare and Conditional: Help someone today, be forgotten tomorrow. Remember this before you sacrifice.

3. People Fear What They Don't Understand: Your growth, ambition, or success will intimidate weak minds.

4. Emotions Override Logic: Most decisions are made with feeling, then justified with reason. Master emotion, master them.

5. Loyalty Follows Power, Not Principle: Respect is given to those who can help—or harm. Power earns loyalty; virtue doesn't.

6. People Reveal Themselves When It Benefits Them: Believe actions, not words. Watch how they treat those below them.

7. Reputation Is More Powerful Than Reality: Perception shapes opportunity. Control the narrative, and you control outcomes.

8. Most People Want Comfort, Not Truth: They'll reject uncomfortable truths to protect their illusions.

9. In the End, Everyone Acts Alone: When it matters most, you're the only one who will carry the consequence.

Everything you are anxious about today, someone has survived a worse version of.

Deeper hole. Darker odds. Less help.

And they came out.

So will you. Keep going.

Does Michael Saylor ever think he's wrong on his thesis?

Five major Bitcoin drawdowns in five years. And here we are again, price down, sentiment broken, everyone asking the same thing.

So I put it to him as directly as I could: is there ever a point where you wonder how we proceed from here? Might I be wrong?

Most people would dodge that question. He didn't.

What he told me comes down to the time horizon. He's not watching the price this month or this year, he's thinking in decades. The 2021-22 crash was 75%, far more brutal than this one. To him, this is just noise in a much longer story.

Inspiring or terrifying, depending on where you stand.

When bulls are screaming the loudest about a new paradigm and 10x targets, it’s usually time to sell.

When bears are irrationally screaming about things going to zero and making emotional arguments not grounded in fact, it’s usually time to buy.
