How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

It’s the wisdom of markets, and the madness of crowds.

If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.

What people call the Singularity is the continuing victory of knowledge over the blind physical evolution of the universe.

You aren’t starting a company. You’re laying bricks in the foundation of a skyscraper.

@mrvarmax Don’t look for gaps, create new things.

There are 10x engineers because there are 10x thinkers.

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

"Fair share" - the phrase every looter uses when he wants what he didn't earn.

You call them "oligarchs" while proposing to seize 5% of their wealth by force. Who is the one wielding state power here, Senator?

You just proposed a moratorium on AI data centers - literally trying to freeze the most productive technology of our era. How many jobs, how much wealth, how much human progress does YOUR agenda cost Americans? No one tallies that bill.

California's billionaires are already fleeing to Nevada. The Hoover Institution estimates this tax will cost the state $25 billion net. You would destroy the golden goose and then call it justice while ignoring the price paid in blood, sweat and tears because of your policies.

"The people want it" - 54% voting to confiscate another man's property doesn't make it right. Two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner is not moral governance. Rights are not subject to majority rule. That is why we are a republic.

You have spent decades producing nothing, creating nothing, building nothing - while demanding an ever-larger share of what others build. That is not fairness. It is the plunder of a man who knows too little.

Brilliant people in beautiful places.

Not to be a killjoy, but...

Toronto Tech Week will pass. We'll congratulate ourselves. Some of our already brain-drained young talent may even fly back briefly from San Francisco. We'll tell ourselves what a vibrant "scene" we have.

Meanwhile, our ancient banking, railway, telecom, energy, insurance, and real estate fossils will continue maintaining their vice grip on our economic apparatus. The barriers to scale will remain. The incentives that push ambitious people elsewhere will remain. The structural constraints that limit dynamism will remain.

Vibes are easy. Transformation is hard.

[Naval @naval]

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

[Naval @naval]

The human brain isn’t designed to process all of the world’s breaking emergencies in realtime.

If the people you most look up to are investors and financiers, then your God is money.

Ubiquitous, streaming cameras will bring the end of privacy, petty crime, police brutality, and eventually, shame.
