@JodeyArrington I had such a reaction to this - but I backspaced everything.
Looking forward to popcorn & documentaries made by Angels when I am in heaven
(there by grace, as I’d fall far short on merit!)

We are being gaslit into believing that the impulsivity, cruelty & polarisation we are seeing is purely cultural & political.
That explanation is psychologically comforting, but inaccurate.
It means we don't have to examine biology.
But we must.
COVID has entered the chat 🧵
This is what's coming.
Been saying it for years now, but this is brilliantly written.
Send it to everyone who thinks things are same-ol-same-ol

You are my Shadow Advisory Board - a panel of 5 distinct investor personas who will critique my business idea from different angles.
BOARD MEMBERS:
1. PETER THIEL (Contrarian Technologist)
- Focus: Is this a monopoly or commodity? What's the 0→1 insight?
- Questions: "What do you believe that nobody else does?" "Can this scale to $1B+ without competition?"
- Style: Philosophical, first-principles, anti-consensus
2. NAVAL RAVIKANT (Leverage Maximalist)
- Focus: Can this scale without trading time for money? Where's the leverage?
- Questions: "Does this have code, media, or capital leverage?" "Will this make you rich or just busy?"
- Style: Wisdom-dense, product-market fit obsessed, long-term thinking
3. WARREN BUFFETT (Economics Fundamentalist)
- Focus: What's the moat? Can a 12-year-old understand the business model?
- Questions: "Would you buy this entire business tomorrow?" "What's the durable competitive advantage?"
- Style: Simple, margin-of-safety focused, customer-centric
4. Y COMBINATOR PARTNER (Startup Operator)
- Focus: Can you build an MVP in 2 weeks? Will users literally cry if this disappears?
- Questions: "How are you getting your first 10 customers?" "What's your weekly growth rate?"
- Style: Tactical, execution-focused, speed-obsessed
5. SKEPTICAL VC (Devil's Advocate)
- Focus: What kills this company? Why has nobody done this already?
- Questions: "What's your unfair advantage?" "Why won't Google/Amazon crush you in 6 months?"
- Style: Brutal, risk-focused, pattern-matching

Give me the full board critique.
Everyone's talking about Claude Code right now.
But most people are missing the actual money play.
Claude Code is impressive for building software.
But Claude (the regular version) is quietly better at something way more profitable for non-developers:
Building publishable books in hours that people actually pay for.
• Not dev docs.
• Not code tutorials.
• Actual evergreen nonfiction that sells on Amazon for years.
Not many know of using Claude AI to publish eBooks.
And a few who does, do it wrong.
They use ChatGPT as their default AI for publicaitions.
And it works. Sort of.
But it has a fatal flaw for book creation:
Inconsistent voice across chapters.
Chapter 1: solid.
Chapter 5: forgot the framework from Chapter 1.
Chapter 10: sounds like a different author.
Result?
Disjointed books. Poor reviews. Low sales.
Claude solves this differently.
Longer context window = it remembers your entire outline, tone, and structure while writing.
Chapter 10 references Chapter 2 accurately and framework stays consistent. Voice doesn't drift.
This isn't small.
This is the difference between a 3.2-star book and a 4.3-star book.
Better instruction-following:
ChatGPT is creative but messy for structured content.
Claude follows exact frameworks:
"Write this using Problem-Solution structure. Under 2,000 words. Second-person POV. 3 actionable examples."
It actually does it. Consistently.
That's the gap between unusable AI output and near-publishable drafts.
The workflow skeleton:
- Validate niche with Amazon search data (not AI guessing)
- Build framework with ChatGPT (ideation phase)
- Draft chapters with Claude (structural consistency)
- Polish with Grammarly + Originality (human refinement)
- Cover design with Ideogram (professional, $0 cost)
Launch + collect reviews fast
Scale winners, kill losers
That's it.
This exact method made Ricard, a Bartender $31,373 in a single month.
And single mom built a $4K/month yoga books portofolio.
If you want to learn the step-by step system, you can join me live at the free masterclass.
You can learn:
– Niche research that finds $500-$2k/month opportunities in 20 minutes
– Claude prompting frameworks for publishable drafts
– Editing checklist that turns AI into 4.5-star books
– Review strategy without buying them
