Your entire life will change when you stop assuming people know how you feel about them. Tell your friends you’re proud of them. Text your parents you love them. Compliment your coworkers. Say the kind thing while you still have the chance. It’s something you’ll never regret.

Canadians have sent 240,000 postcards to senators urging them to oppose Liberal Bill C-9.

Until this morning, the Senate was hiding these postcards in a warehouse in Gatineau. This morning, they were moved to a Senate room, but they still aren't being delivered to senators.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) has over 2,000 employees.

Top 5 managers, make more than $5 million per year.

They have never beaten the market.

Nevada has 1 guy. Who invests in ETFs.

Does nothing. All day.

And he outperforms the CPP.

Consistently.

For further context, if CPP invested in QQQ, for the last 10 years, instead of $800 billion in assets, we would have $2.4 Trillion.

VOO would put it at $1.6 trillion.

Lesson: The government will never outperform the market.

So don’t think the Sovereign Debt Fund will be any different.

@AndrewLawton Good. Chilling how these people are casually advocating for suppression of freedom of speech.

Life advice nobody told you: Violent consistency is the only path to achieve what you want.

It's not going to be pretty. It's not going to draw oohs and aahs from the crowd. Because it looks messy in the days. It's getting out of bed when you don't want to. It's sitting down at your desk when you're tired. It's pounding your head into a wall one more time. It's ugly. It's unimpressive. But it works.

Quantity is a necessary precursor to quality. You cannot create once and hope for it to be perfect. You have to create a lot. Every single day.

I recently came across a story in Art & Fear that I love:

A ceramics teacher split a class into two groups. One would be graded on the quantity of their output, the other would be graded on the quality of their output. On the final day, the first group would have their total output of pots weighed, while the second group would have one pot judged.

When grading day arrived, something fascinating happened:

"The works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the 'quantity' group was busily churning out piles of work—and learning from their mistakes—the 'quality' group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."

Quality is a byproduct of quantity. Violent consistency. That's the real recipe.

This was one of the most interesting conversations I’ve had in a while.
Michelle Thaller a wealth of fascinating information about space, time and all things the cosmos. And she’s an incredibly compelling speaker. These kinds of podcasts are some of my favorites

Google and Apple literally just saved Canadians from a future

where their government can peek into their encrypted messages in total secrecy

and most will never even know.

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

The GOAT public lands dude here. Going to keep harping on it until the account is bigger than mine.

Life advice nobody told you: Be unapologetically yourself. When you edit your personality, you attract relationships that need constant maintenance. Something incredible happens when you stop filtering yourself to be liked. Right ones stick. Wrong ones walk. That’s a blessing.

CPP underperforms passive indexing. It should have 5 employees, ideally all on vacation most of the time.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Bravo @JeffBezos!

In Japan, children clean their own schools.

Every day. After lunch.
About twenty minutes.

Classrooms.
Hallways.
Toilets.

Not because the schools are too poor
to hire someone.

Because in 1947, this country decided
that cleaning your own space
is part of becoming a person.

The cleaning rag
is on the school supply list.
Right next to the pencils.

Egypt teaches it now.
So does Indonesia.
So does Mongolia.

Think about the last time
you watched a seven-year-old
mop a floor without complaining.

Japan does that
in every elementary school
in the country.

Not as punishment.

As education.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

It is wild to see the ideological reversal associated with USPS.

Hundreds of green socialists crying "No, you have to let the capitalist megacorporations raze hundreds of millions of trees! You have to let the government force-feed consoooomer advertising to your family!"
