Intelligent people live a boring life. They go to bed at 10. Wake up at 6. Eat simple foods. Go for long walks. Read thick books. Say no to things that drain them. The world chases excitement. But they chase calm. Things that align with their soul. A calm routine. A quiet mind. A healthy body. Meaningful work. A small circle. A private life. Their life may look boring from the outside. But from the inside, they experience a kind of freedom most people spend their entire lives searching for.

Asimov’s Foundation series was part of the inspiration for making life/consciousness multiplanetary.

Being multiplanetary greatly extends the probable lifespan of civilization.

We must build Terminus.

Ridiculous, and more ridiculous. Tesla’s ESG score is 40 but Phillip Morris’s score is 85, with higher better. What?

[Cathie Wood @CathieDWood]

How can shareholders renege on his pay package AFTER Elon and shareholders already have taken and overcome the risks associated with Tesla’s rise to producing the top selling car in the world? Unconscionably!

(Disclaimer: An investment in Tesla is not necessarily representative of the composition or performance of any investment strategies managed by ARK Invest.)

[Cathie Wood @CathieDWood]

But, Elon did not fail. He succeeded spectacularly and should be rewarded accordingly. If shareholders renege on Elon’s pay package after 73% voted for it in 2018, the public equity market will lose access to one of the most innovative companies in the world, depriving retail investors.

[Cathie Wood @CathieDWood]

I’d argue that no other executive is as aligned with shareholders as @elonmusk, who committed to no salary, no bonus, no stock comp FOR 10 YEARS, unless he created tremendous value for @Tesla shareholders.

So much for the concept of the moody creative genius. One of the strongest correlations in this huge study is the *negative* correlation between creativity and "uneven temper." (via @cremieuxrecueil)

”The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back.

He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed.

At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives.

Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.)

The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant!

The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.

Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”

Paul Curry, an amateur magician in New York City, was the first to discover that a square can be cut into a few pieces and the pieces rearranged to make a square of the same size that has a hole in it! There are many versions of the Curry paradox, but this one is the simplest.

Unpacked my new M2 MacBook Air this morning and used https://t.co/AD1q3pLsuv to automatically install Homebrew, Xcode CLI, Git, rbenv, nvm, Node.js, Yarn, Redis, PostgreSQL, Ruby, and Rails. A thing of beauty, really.

Seeing rockets land has now become a very monotonous sighting, similar to that of seeing airplanes land. Essentially a few years ago no one could even imagine rockets landing & being reused. SpaceX and @elonmusk made it possible. It is reusable rockets that will get us to Mars.
