Every 6 months I realize how stupid I was 6 months ago

How slow and steady the doc is during the whole time. And when he smiles a little, phew.

Coolest video on the internet right now 😎🐶🐕😎

something i miss about college life is that you didn't have to schedule things to socialize. you'd just go someone's dorm or a party. and when you had your fill, you'd just go home. now you have to schedule things 2 wks in advance and pray you still feel like socializing then

The most useful razors and rules I've found:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 7-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "7 figures" -- assume it's closer to $1 million than $9 million.

7. Mack's Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Razor - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

[Car Dealership Guy @GuyDealership]

Car payments are at *all-time* highs:

Percentage of car buyers who committed to a monthly payment of $1,000 or more:

Q4 2020: 6.7%
Q4 2021: 10.5%
Q4 2022: 15.7% (!)

Stay tuned for release of Q1 numbers over the next couple of weeks

[Thomas Kopelman 💵 @TKopelman]

A $600,000 house with 20% down will cost you $1,125,412 over 30 years

This is pre any other expenses that go into it

Not many understand this

What they also don't understand is in the first 4 years they will have paid $119,725 in interest but only built $21,000 in equity (pre any appreciation)

In today's environment, be sure you want to buy and live there for awhile

[Navalism @NavalismHQ]

"If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable.
If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique.
If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic.
If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else.
It’s drowning “you” out."

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

If you are bored, build.

If you are building, persist.

If you are persistent, trust.

The solution to boredom is a challenge that engages your mind with a meaningful pursuit.

The unconventional path is uncertain, but it's the only one where you don't end up like everyone else.

[Alexandr Wang @alexandr_wang]

the next 2-3 years of AI are definitively going to define the coming 2-3 decades of the world

for those in technology: you live a lifetime for a moment like this—don’t waste it; don’t be lazy

there are decades where nothing happens, and weeks where decades happen.
