It works like this:
Your thoughts → create emotions → influence behaviors → attract similar people/situations → reinforce thoughts
If you believe "bad things always happen to me," you'll notice, remember and create more negative experiences.
Here's Tolle's 7-step protocol to escape overthinking:
Tolle discovered something profound through his own suffering:
There's a correlation between your mental-emotional state and what happens in your life.
Your predominant thoughts influence who you spend time with, where you work, and even what events occur around you.
As Tolle discovered, your body can't distinguish between an actual threat and your anxious thoughts.
When you think fearful thoughts, your body reacts as if you're in real danger.
Here's what's happening in the mind...
Great Parents deserve more recognition.
It’s VERY HARD to be a great parent today.
Great parents indirectly:
- lower taxes
- make our communities safer
- lower crime
- lower unemployment
Great parents need to be encouraged to have more babies.
I care deeply about the path to peace in Ukraine.
I pushed for this over and over in my conversation with President Zelenskyy.
And I'll continue this effort, in my small way, by talking to:
- Putin
- Zelenskyy (round 2)
And also:
- Modi
- MBS
Always pushing for peace 🕊️
A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced...
Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed.
After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing.
It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core.
We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years.
The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller.
They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor.
Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not!
Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible.
It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world.
And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft.
This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe.
It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world.
🚨NAVAL: "I think between Elon and David Sacks and people like that we actually have builders and doers and financially and economically intelligent people in charge. Elons not doing this for the money, he's doing this because it's the right thing to do.
It's an inspiration to all of us despite Sam Altman and Elon's current fighting. I know Sam was inspired by Elon at one point and I think all of us are inspired by Elon. The guy can be the Diablo player and do DOGE and run SpaceX, and Tesla, and Boring, and Neuralink, it's incredibly impressive.
That's why I'm doing a hardware company now, it makes me want to do something useful with my life. Elon always makes me question 'Am I doing something useful with my life?' Peter Thiel is an investor but he's inspirational too. The future doesn't just happen, you have to go make it."

Thank you, President Trump. As a boy, I sat in the Oval Office where my uncle led on the issues of health and fitness. And now, six decades later, I stand with a transformational leader who fully grasps the public health crisis our great nation faces. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be confirmed as the 26th Secretary of @HHSGov. Let’s Make America Healthy Again.
I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects. We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that we fought so successfully together in World War II, remembering, that Russia lost tens of millions of people, and we, likewise, lost so many! We each talked about the strengths of our respective Nations, and the great benefit that we will someday have in working together. But first, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin even used my very strong Campaign motto of, “COMMON SENSE.” We both believe very strongly in it. We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s Nations. We have also agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately, and we will begin by calling President Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, to inform him of the conversation, something which I will be doing right now. I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations which, I feel strongly, will be successful. Millions of people have died in a War that would not have happened if I were President, but it did happen, so it must end. No more lives should be lost! I want to thank President Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call, and for the release, yesterday, of Marc Fogel, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House. I believe this effort will lead to a successful conclusion, hopefully soon!

Here's my 5-hour conversation with @dylan522p and @natolambert on DeepSeek, China, OpenAI, NVIDIA, xAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, TSMC, Stargate, megacluster buildouts, RL, reasoning, and a lot of other topics at the cutting edge of AI. This is was a mind-blowing, super-technical, and fun conversation.
Yes, we discuss r1 and o3-mini, but more importantly we look into the future of technology, geopolitics, and humanity in a world that stands on the precipice of a global AI revolution.
The first 4 hours are here on X (4 hours is current limit), and the full 5 hours are up everywhere else. Links in comment.

It is so good to have the Venezuela Hostages back home and, very important to note, that Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua. Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back. Furthermore, record numbers of criminals are being removed from our Country, and the Border numbers are the strongest they have been since the First Term of the Trump Administration!
OpenAI o3-mini is a good model, but DeepSeek r1 is similar performance, still cheaper, and reveals its reasoning.
Better models will come (can't wait for o3pro), but the "DeepSeek moment" is real. I think it will still be remembered 5 years from now as a pivotal event in tech history, due in-part to the geopolitical implications but for many other reasons too.
All this discussed in 5 hour technical podcast I just recorded on the state of AI industry. Out tomorrow (hopefully).
6. Liang isn’t afraid to share.
DeepSeek published their groundbreaking methods in a paper co-authored by 200+ researchers.
The company’s transparency fuels innovation, but critics question how they’ve achieved such rapid efficiency.
He is Liang Wenfeng, CEO of DeepSeek AI. 🚀
5 years ago, he walked away from Wall Street to chase a dream.
His insane journey will blow your mind. (Read below) 👇
