@eyeslasho @EndWokeness But the masses of midwits with slightly higher IQ are more dangerous than lower-IQ status-quo followers because midwits are not intelligent enough to replace the status quo that’s been created by trial-and-error over thousands of years. 107 IQ is not enough to play irl Sim City⚔️

@DKThomp @alden_olms @veaulans @jreich511 @redsteeze “The words that came out of Biden's mouth are not as important” — but aren’t these the most important because they’re from the president?

How can reactions of non-presidents be more important? It means Biden isn’t the US leader, and you’re saying he’s not even important.

@DKThomp @waitbutwhy Subscribers canceled due to lost trust?
Or just because they are angry at this single event that doesn’t swing liberal? 🎯

I didn't realize how terrible my posture was until an MRI showed it was slowly killing my brain.

A ticking time bomb of a problem that I've now dramatically improved with these five habits. 🧵

@GetBeamGG How does the team feel about adding Events or Job Board? That would be super great for my community needs.

Once my patient as he was dying told me something like this: “What was I so afraid of? All the people that I lived for are dead now too.”

This is a morbid thought, harsh, & very real.

I catch their dying dreams as they sail off into the unreturned. I am a last witness.

In what is UNDOUBTEDLY one of the BEST moments in recent TV interview history, a CNBC reporter asked about the tweets @elonmusk made regarding George Soros...

MUSK: "I'm reminded of a scene in 'The Princess Bride' — great movie — where he confronts the person who killed his father. And he says, 'offer me money, offer me power. I don't care.'"

REPORTER: "So, you just don't care."

MUSK: "I'll say what I want to say and if the consequences of that are losing money, so be it.”

MAD RESPECT. 💯👏🏻🫡

Laws that change design (forever).

Here's why the 21 UX Laws are genius - and how designers can use it 🧵:

Ambitious people need each other.

Ambition breeds a particular kind of frustration, and the more ambitious you are, the larger it looms.

Without like-minded peers, ambitious people become suffocated by life — chained by tall poppy syndrome and the dogmas of complacency.

As social creatures, humans need to feel validated by their peers in order to go all in on who they are. We become like the people around us, so it’s hard to sustain ambition in a complacent environment. This is why actors move to Hollywood, musicians move to Nashville, and basically every podcaster/biohacker/Internet-writer type lives inside a twelve-mile radius in Austin, Texas.

Moving in search of ambitious peers isn’t a new idea. It’s why Ramanujan, one of history’s greatest mathematicians, went to Cambridge. At home in India, even though he showed a divine aptitude for math, he flunked out of school and hid under a cot because his parents disapproved of his obsession with math. Though he taught himself number theory by working through problems in a borrowed textbook on his own, he knew that his genius was ultimately constrained by a lack of ambitious peers. And so, he wrote to Cambridge mathematician G.H. Hardy to ask for help getting his work published. Once they met, everything changed for Ramanujan.

See, ambitious people don’t just need peers. They need mentors. They need people who will encourage them to pursue hard and meaningful projects.

In college, I felt insane for being driven and obsessive. The anti-dedication environment drove me nuts. My ambition was only validated when I arrived in New York City and met people who exuded the kind of heart and hustle for which I’d always been called crazy. The people I interviewed on my North Star Podcast became some of my peers.

@paulg, the founder of Y-Combinator and the low-key father of online writing says: “Ambitious people are rare, so if everyone is mixed together randomly, as they tend to be early in people’s lives, then the ambitious ones won’t have many ambitious peers. When you take people like this and put them together with other ambitious people, they bloom like dying plants given water.”

Fight to find your kindred spirits, even if it means moving across the world like Ramanujan or staying in on Saturdays to write on the Internet.

The more ambitious you are, the more consciously you’ll need to cultivate your social circle.

Ask yourself: Who do I need to surround myself with?

@tferriss @tferriss Check out “uDog” on Etsy or Amazon. We discovered it last year and it’s fairly simple. And good for up to 8 people. Ideally 4-8 ppl. Good balance of simple, fun, and a little strategy.

The world is becoming middle class...

[A-Dog 2000 @ADog2000]

@robkhenderson I wonder if it’s partly because richer people have more options in their life. E.g., A single mom might be a construction worker for higher pay, but if money were less important, she’d be an elementary school music teacher.

@geoffrey_cain Could be cool to collab with Peter Zeihan

[Sam Karns @Sam_Karns]

@PeterZeihan Can someone explain to me how humans can only make sraws that last 2 minutes or 2 million years, but nothing in between?

You can’t imitate your way to greatness because you can only copy the effect, not the cause.

Your ability to speak clearly is enhanced by reading (not listening) to books and by writing and journaling in complete sentences. Texting, voice dictation and audio books are wonderful but degrade articulation. Conversely, structured writing aids structured speech.

Some people are no nonsense, but, personally, I like a little nonsense
