“Read enough, and you become a connoisseur. Then you naturally gravitate more towards theory, concepts, non-fiction”, says Naval Ravikant.

The genuine love for reading itself, when cultivated, is a superpower.

@jaminball surprised that you didn’t include option #4: economic growth deteriorates, inflation persists above target, rates flat-line or increase. is it that you don’t think this is a likely scenario? your newsletter is rad. 👍

@nikkokra @bryan_johnson null: topical application of fluorouracil does not affect count of existing (pre-) cancerous skin lesions (e.g., actinic keratoses).

you could cut another null hypothesis for formation of novel lesions, but it'd be a lot noisier, given everything bryan does to protect his skin.

By having this talk with our children, we can cultivate in them an understanding of and empathy for the plight of their Black peers, so that they are more likely to act in a way that one day eliminates the need for parents of Black children to have "the talk." #BlackLivesMatter

[scott chancellor @ScottChancellor]

It is a sickening reality in the U.S. that parents of Black girls and boys have no choice but to have “the talk” with their children to inform them of the dangers of being Black in this country, including that they may be murdered for even the perception of a minor transgression.

@QuinnyPig I've edited your quote for accuracy:
"What once took entire teams to handle at some large AWS customers can now be done on the back of [the world's largest] napkin over [a never-ending] lunch...." ;) Much better than RIs, but not a silver bullet. @TechRepublic

Eric Yuan on leaving @Cisco to start @zoom_us: "On one hand it's a big risk to go from a very well-paid position. On the flip side, I was not happy. The purpose of life is to pursue happiness, and I was not happy. Then what's the risk?"
