Increasingly convinced that one of the greatest learned wisdoms is managing your environment rather than yourself. Reducing need to make choices you’re not good at, temptations you don’t manage well, leaning into strengths

your kidney can go for like $300k and you only need one to survive

god gave us all startup capital. you just have to want it bad enough

Social media offers the illusion of moral clarity about news events 6,000 miles away that are substantively confusing even to people 6 miles away.

If you're gobbling up social media to reach strongly held opinions about late-breaking news, you're making a feast out of garbage.

"I don’t believe in specific goals. Scott Adams famously said, Set up systems, not goals.' Use your judgment to figure out what kinds of environments you can thrive in, and then create an environment around you so you’re statistically likely to succeed."

All the music in the world for $10.99 is the best deal on planet earth. If you are complaining about a $1 jump, I have no patience for you.

You are not entitled to the work & inspiration of the world's artists without providing them a fraction of a penny.

You underpay.

Easiest differentiator between those who make it and those who don’t is ability to take an L, internalize lesson, and then move on as quickly as possible and stay focused on the target

being in your late twenties is a scary time because you start to see how decisions and decision making skills compound over time and people are actually having real life consequences/benefits because of it

Instead of teaching less math in junior high, Dallas made advanced math classes opt-out.

Guess what happened? A bunch more Black and Hispanic students took advanced math, and grades and test scores in the classes didn't fall.

SURPRISE! KIDS CAN LEARN!

San Francisco officials and supervisors are lying about self driving cars, a technology home-grown in SF that will save millions of lives.

They're fabricating statistics. Why is this happening? Who's doing it? And what can we do about it?

"The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

if America isn’t number 1, why are we +1 on the list of country codes

[Romeen Sheth @RomeenSheth]

For all its flaws, America is still the greatest country in the world:

- best education system
- best system of government (democracy)
- best economic system (capitalism)
- best place for innovation
- most desirable location for immigrants
- dominant world language
- world's reserve currency
- more investment dollars available than anywhere else
- amongst the richest and happiest countries in the world (countries ahead of the US are at a fraction of the scale)

Happy 4th 🇺🇸
