Where there's a way there's a will

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

I just spent 90 minutes with Robert Greene (legendary author of The 48 Laws of Power) he’s become a friend who always leaves me smarter…

Five of my favorite lessons:

1. Be very careful hiring friends
If you hire wrong every time you ask them to do something they’ll resent you a little more until they eventually sabotage you. Hire people who can get the job done. Hire for competence, forget closeness.

2. Beware of instant intimacy
Trust takes time. Closeness can be manufactured overnight. People who rush relationships often want access for a reason you won’t like later.

3. You can't persuade someone who wants nothing
Great salespeople don't create desire. They uncover what's missing and help people get it.

4. Silence is power
50 Cent told Robert his constant nodding made him look weak. Most people can't stand silence. They'll reveal more just to fill it. Let them.

5. Envy disguises itself as righteousness
It's easier to make someone else's success a moral failure than admit you wish it were yours. But don't confuse every criticism with jealousy.

Most business problems are people problems. Most people problems are human nature.

Loved learning from @RobertGreene

Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman on what cannabis does to focus, workouts and anxiety.

Joe Rogan: The weed thing is a weird one. I'm not a cannabis smoker, but I had a guest on, Dr. Paul Conti, a psychiatrist who works on trauma, and we talked about different substances. He said alcohol has basically zero therapeutic uses. But he said cannabis may have some therapeutic potential. Its main effect is to narrow attention and focus.

Andrew Huberman: The problem is it's not a very good filter. People can narrowly attend to just video games, or just their anxiety if they're already anxious. I knew people who smoked weed and had a panic attack.

Joe Rogan: It depends completely on the individual: their genetics, their biology, what they've been through. I know people who smoke and are high functioning, and people who don't get anything done. I think people with drive and discipline get a rest stop from it. It makes you a little kinder and more compassionate. A type A person smokes a little and thinks, "What am I doing? Let's relax," then gets back to it.

Joe: It's very popular in jiu jitsu. You can't plan jiu jitsu, you have to improvise, like jazz. But it's also the focus. While you're rolling, you're only thinking about rolling.

Joe: I enjoy it when I lift weights too. I feel it in the fibers. I'm more aware of where the muscle connects to the bone. For striking, I feel like I use leverage better, my balance is better, and I don't try to execute a technique when I'm off position.

Andrew: The neuroscience word for that is interoception, your awareness of your internal state. People vary a lot. You can test it by counting your heartbeats without taking your pulse. It's great for some people, but for highly anxious people it sucks to have a lot of it.

Andrew: And the mind-muscle connection isn't just bro science. In peer-reviewed studies, people who focus on the contraction of the muscle instead of just moving the weight get greater strength and size gains. In a gym with mirrors, you're watching yourself instead of feeling it. If cannabis allows more interoception, you can imagine those workouts being more effective.

The same focus that sharpens one person's workout locks another into a panic attack.

🚨Brilliant interview!

🚨How do banks create money ?
💸💰💸💰💸💰💸
🚨Prof Werner is incomparable.

In the 5000 yr history of banking no-one has ever done an imperical study of banking to show where the money comes from- until now. Step up the rock star economist Professor Richard Werner. His amazing qualifications and held positions makes the eye water. He is truly the authority on this subject. Banks are thought of as deposit taking entities who lend money - but that is just wrong. His assessment - Banks dont lend money but they misrepresent (lie) to their customers and say that they do.

I want you to please listen to this when you have time. Maybe, just maybe you would see things differently and start doing something about it from your little corner.

My thing is,what’s going to happen to the rejected,are they gonna be allowed to roam around like how they usually do or what, our really issue is with these asylum seekers opening shops and businesses. Which part does the government not understand.

[Khangisa (Prof. ) @Siyakhangisa]

Let me walk you through what actually happened.

The Constitutional Court made a ruling. Scalabrini Centre v Minister of Home Affairs, 7 July 2026. Four sections of the Refugees Act struck down.

What those sections did: they let officials exclude asylum seekers on procedural grounds. How you entered. Whether you had a transit visa. Whether you delayed. Before your claim was even heard.

The Court said that conflicts with non-refoulement. You cannot turn someone away at the gate without considering whether they will be harmed if sent back.

That is the ruling. Technical. Narrow. Grounded in law South Africa has had since 1998.

Now, here is what happened next.

Someone took that ruling and made it sound like something else. AI-generated images of Helen Zille and Leon Schreiber "welcoming asylum seekers." Claims that the judgment grants citizenship. Claims that it legalises all foreign nationals.

None of it is true. But it does not need to be true. It needs to travel.

And it did.

The Department of Home Affairs issued a statement today. Real. Not fake. They say they fought the case. They lost. They are implementing a binding Constitutional Court order. They are also referring what they call a coordinated disinformation campaign to the IEC.

Here is the thing.

This is happening about a month before local elections.

The IEC has a new Code of Conduct on Countering Disinformation. Home Affairs is using it. Whether it works is a separate question.

But think about the incentive structure.

A Constitutional Court ruling on refugee rights is nuanced. It does not fit in a WhatsApp forward. It does not fit on a meme. But "Court forces government to give foreigners citizenship" fits everywhere.

The person who created those AI images knows exactly what they are doing. They do not need you to believe it. They need you to share it.

And the Department's response, a formal statement, a referral to the IEC, is correct. It is also slow. By the time the correction arrives, the damage is done.

There is a deeper layer here.

The Scalabrini Centre judgment is about procedural fairness. It says: before you exclude someone, hear their claim. That is not controversial in law. It is, however, explosive in politics.

Because the anxiety is real. Unemployment. Service delivery pressure. Competition for resources. The Constitutional Court did not create that anxiety. But a well-timed piece of disinformation can aim it at a target.

Foreign nationals are an easier target than a Court judgment.

The uncomfortable truth.

This is not the first time a technical ruling has been weaponised. It will not be the last.

Home Affairs can refer a disinformation campaign to the IEC. They cannot refer a Constitutional Court judgment back to the Court for being politically inconvenient.

The question is not whether the disinformation will stop.

It is whether voters will hear the correction before they cast their vote.
