Ferguson is exactly the change needed in the FTC and the regime more broadly. He’s a watchful eye rather than a regulatory boa constrictor like kahn. M&A will accelerate through Q3 and Q4 with him at the helm. One of my simple pleasures in life is being right about things…

US dealmaking is down in the new Trump era but accelerating in other parts of the world. https://t.co/fiRTYcB82e

This is exactly why parents should have their children’s amygdala removed at birth. Don’t let them settle for good when they can be great. Well said ray.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

When I refer to your "ego barrier," I'm referring to your subliminal defense mechanisms that make it hard for you to accept your mistakes and weaknesses. Your deepest-seated needs and fears--such as the need to be loved and the fear of losing love, the need to survive and the fear of not surviving, the need to be important and the fear of not mattering--reside in primitive parts of your brain such as the amygdala, which are structures in your temporal lobe that process emotions. Because these areas of your brain are not accessible to your conscious awareness, it is virtually impossible for you to understand what they want and how they control you. They oversimplify things and react instinctively. They crave praise and respond to criticism as an attack, even when the higher-level parts of the brain understand that constructive criticism is good for you. They make you defensive, especially when it comes to the subject of how good you are.

At the same time, higher-level consciousness resides in your neocortex, more specifically in the part called the prefrontal cortex. This is the most distinctively human feature of your brain; relative to the rest of the brain, it's larger in humans than in most other species. This is where you experience the conscious awareness of decision making (the so-called "executive function"), as well as the application of logic and reasoning. #principleoftheday

Saw this family with a stroller on the bike path this morning during my morning jog. Reminded me of something a mentor once told me:

“If They Stand Behind You, PROTECT THEM.
If They Stand Beside You, RESPECT THEM.
And If They Stand Against You, DESTROY THEM”

Makes you think…

Facts

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

If you don't let up on yourself and instead become comfortable always operating with some level of pain, you will evolve at a faster pace. That's just the way it is.

Every time you confront something painful, you are at a potentially important juncture in your life--you have the opportunity to choose healthy and painful truth or unhealthy but comfortable delusion. The irony is that if you choose the healthy route, the pain will soon turn into pleasure. The pain is the signal! Like switching from not exercising to exercising, developing the habit of embracing the pain and learning from it will "get you to the other side."

By "getting to the other side," I mean that you will become hooked on:

- Identifying, accepting, and learning how to deal with your weaknesses,
- Preferring that the people around you be honest with you rather than keep their negative thoughts about you to themselves, and
- Being yourself rather than having to pretend to be strong where you are weak. #principleoftheday
