@codyschneider Counterpoint: Most founders fail at both product and distribution, but it’s easier to blame distribution.
If you’re struggling to distribute, double-check the product, maybe it’s not as differentiated as you think.

@dela3499 I can sink hours into a great video game because the play is the reward, even if I never beat it. My work has to meet that bar: if it isn’t as engaging as a video game, I don’t pursue it. School trains us to grind and call it virtue. No pride in suffering. Optimize for fun :)

@GustavS @DavidDeutschOxf Summit Ice! 🔥

@ToKTeacher @DavidDeutschOxf @briankeating Popper can feel daunting. Which Popper book is your personal favorite and what would you hand to someone just starting out?

@nico_jeannen Do what’s fun for you

@ToKTeacher Astrology predicts. Science explains. Chatbots remix past text. People pose new problems and invent new explanations

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@nico_jeannen Fear lit the first fire. Let fun light the next. pick problems you’d still chase with infinite money and time. Purpose returns as a byproduct.

Yesterday they tied left hands. Today they lock up phones. Same mistake: coercion over curiosity.

Coercion looks like it “works” because order is easy to count and creativity isn’t. You can tally quiet hallways and test bubbles. You can’t score curiosity or creativity.

@PaulRRobichaud Most people who make exercise a habit found the fun in it. Learning is the same. If it feels like homework, you won’t stick with it. Fun is the signal that error-correction is working

@sanktsalvar @DavidDeutschOxf @GadSaad Universal claims like “anyone identifying as Muslim is untrustworthy” collapse with one counterexample. There are Muslim heroes in the IDF and elsewhere. Saying “they’re not true Muslims” just moves the goalposts. Critique bad ideas, judge individuals

@notdanilu I’ve always liked working out mid day the best. Between 11AM and 2PM. Nice empty gym, carbed up from fully digested breakfast.

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@notdanilu Early morning provides the most consistency.

Later in the day allows 'emergencies' to get in the way and cause cancellations.

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@notdanilu 10 am or 2 pm are the best times.

@naval Stop aiming at money. Formulate a problem, craft a hard-to-vary explanation, encode it in scalable leverage (media, code etc), and let markets criticize it. Money is the residue that markets leave behind when your explanation works at scale

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

A good explanation is hard to vary.
Bitcoin is money with the same trait: 21 M cap, 10-min blocks, halving clock. Each block is a live experiment, hold consensus or die. Simple, unfudgable, antifragile. Code that keeps proving itself is the closest thing to truth in finance.

@ToKTeacher pocket calculators mean we can’t assign take-home arithmetic, students will just let Casio cheat. Yet without nights of long-division drills, how will they develop critical thinking, perseverance, even morality?

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@Jayyanginspires How do you be “easy to work with” without being a pushover?

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@naval But stepping into the arena with a foundation of deep ideas from books like The Beginning of Infinity can help you act with better judgment

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

@boazbaraktcs @xai Safety isn’t about waving around credentials or pretending we’re always right. It comes from throwing out bold ideas and letting the world poke holes in them. Open release helps that. Let’s fix mistakes out in the open, not bury them in bureaucracy

[Daniel Lomas @TrendTube6]

Requiring productivity hacks is a clue that the problem isn’t interesting enough.
