There's a line I read in a biography of Michael Jordan that said: "Everyone wanted to be like Mike. Mike did not want to be like anyone else." Munger was like that. Authentically himself. Trusted his own judgement. Ran his life by what he called "an inner clock."

Today I flew to New York City for a Catholic funeral, a very sad day (more, later, when I can muster the strength).
At the wake I could not manage to get joyful.
Then I had a conversation with the priest, a Jesuit.
Jesuits are formidable intellects. There is hope.

You don't get rich by:

Cutting lattes
Using coupons
Maximizing credit card reward points

You get rich by:

Consistently raising your income
Owning equity in a growing business
Buying income-producing assets every single month

Don't major in the minor. Focus on your career and investments if you want to build wealth.

high-iq minds share one trait: intellectual promiscuity.

they flirt with ideas. they date concepts. they never marry one.

they can read marx and nietzsche in the same afternoon,
quote the quran and quantum physics in the same breath,
build a circuit board while questioning metaphysics.

true intelligence isn’t loyal. it betrays beliefs the second better evidence appears.
it doesn’t believe in ideas; it plays with them.
tests them. breaks them. recombines them.
low-iq minds aren’t dumb; they’re just addicted to certainty.

they need a single framework to feel safe.
one ideology to belong to.
but the agile mind?

it loves ideas without needing to own them.
it studies everything.

it belongs nowhere; yet understands everything.

Can someone tell me why over a 10-20 yr period a momentum etf with 3% tail risk hedge wouldn’t wildly outperform

@TheMaineWonk @NRA Nice red herring from Bessent. So again bringing a concealed weapon is justification for state murder? Trumpism = Nazism

Don’t see her as chaotic. See her as destructive

Destructive is more accurate

[Libertarian Party @LPNational]

When Democrats are in power, libertarians get called right-wingers.

When Republicans are in power, libertarians get called liberals.

We're the ones consistently calling out authoritarianism.

They're the ones with blinders on half the time, when their side has control.

@EricLDaugh Can the FBI just enforce the law without adopting every leftist gun banner talking point?

🚫Carrying a gun = bad intentions.
🚫Loaded guns = bad guns.
🚫Spare magazines = extra bad.
🚫More than 10 rounds = bad.

Carrying a firearm is not a death sentence, it’s a Constitutionally protected God-given right.

The far right has corrupted the term conservative.

Growing fed govt power, centralizing it into Executive, shredding Constitution & building massive police state with help of corporations isn’t conservative.

They’re too chickenshit to call it what it is: National Socialism.

In Iraq if I disarmed an Insurgent then shot him I would be breaking rocks at Leavenworth.

There needs to be accountability for this one 100% and more training until then get them away from the public because so far all I see is needless escalation.
