You need to watch Kenneth Clark’s 1969 docuseries, Civilisation. He covers the fall of Rome up to the mid 20th century. It’s 13 parts and 11 hours long, but it’s incredible.

If you woke up today and

> have a job
> can call both your parents
> not physically ill
> have somewhere to go back home to

it is a good day regardless of what else is going on in the world or what you might be stressed about

easy to take these things for granted

The Deer Hunter is streaming on Netflix. Winner of the Oscar for Best Picture, this is a definitive stand-out within Robert De Niro’s historic filmography. If you haven’t seen this film, run- don’t walk. Christopher Walken won his only Oscar for his incredible performance here.

Frank Slootman: “There’s lots of people in this world who are not really in the arena”

Frank comments on why he opens his book with Theodore Roosevelt’s famous “The Man in the Arena” quote:

“There’s lots of people in this world who are not really in the arena. They are either observers, consultants, agents, or VCs that provide capital. But there are some people who are in the arena, and they are very very special people.”

Frank is frequently asked to speak at elite business schools, and when they invariably ask for his advice, he responds:

“You all have elite educations… you’ll have many job offers paying you big bucks. Your parents and your siblings will be incredibly proud of you. But they’re all consulting jobs for Bain, McKinsey, and companies like that… You’re going to have an easy path to pretty quick earnings, but you’ll never know whether you have what it takes [to build something new].”

In Roosevelt’s words, you’ll be “those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Full quote from Roosevelt’s speech:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Calley Means exposed how lobbyists corrupted every step of the process: scientific research, the media, and government.

“Does anyone think it’s appropriate for the American Academy of Pediatrics to recommend Ozempic for 12 year-olds as the first line of defense, before dietary interventions?”

First, “they fund research from Harvard, and then the head of Harvard Obesity Clinic says that obesity is genetic, and Ozempic should be the first line defense for children.”

Next, “the media pumps that message relentlessly and is now calling parents anti-science for not going straight to Ozempic for their kids.”

“And that lays a predicate for CMS funding where the top priority bill from this organization right here is a bill to mandate Ozempic on Medicare … for kids at a cost of $1,200 per person of taxpayer money per month.”

“We’re the most medicated country in the world and we’re the sickest, and it’s because we’re not getting to the root cause with our medical system.”

Dolores O'Riordan would have turned 53 today. Happy heavenly birthday.

Here is Dolores with The Cranberries performing "Zombie" in Paris, 1999.

Her voice was truly unique and her powerful presence on stage was unforgettable.
