New: Joe Rogan leaves NASA astrophysicist Michelle Thaller completely stuck after asking her a deep question about the reality of time:
ROGAN: “The weirdest thing that I’ve ever heard anybody say is that all time exists currently.”
THALLER: “That’s Albert Einstein.”
ROGAN: “When we measure time what exactly are we measuring? When we create a clock that runs 24 hours per day what is it measuring?”
THALLER: “That’s a deep question. That question caused everything in physics to fall apart.”
ROGAN: “I still don’t understand what we’re measuring.”
THALLER: “I don’t think I have an answer for you. I don’t think anybody does.”
The S&P 500 has been doing the same thing since 1920 and almost nobody frames it correctly.
A new technology arrives. Markets expand for roughly 25 years while that technology reshapes the economy. Then a short consolidation. Then the next technology arrives and does it again.
🔸Electronics: 24 years of expansion.
🔸PCs and internet: 25 years of expansion.
🔸AI and smartphones: we're in year 15.
Every single consolidation phase felt like the end of the world. Every single expansion phase felt "too extended" by year 10.
We've been in "too extended" territory for about 5 years now. The last two cycles ran for another decade after reaching this exact point.

NEW: Coinbase and Fannie Mae partner with Better Home & Finance to launch Bitcoin-backed mortgages for U.S. homebuyers.
Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin or USD Coin as collateral for down payments, allowing them to keep their assets and avoid triggering taxable sales.
The loans are structured as conforming mortgages backed by Fannie Mae, meaning they follow standard underwriting rules and carry the same protections as traditional home loans.
The product targets everyday buyers locked out by down payment constraints.
Better says 41% of U.S. families can’t purchase homes due to lack of liquid cash, despite holding savings in other assets.
Rising interest rates and high home prices have tightened affordability.
A buyer targeting a $400K home may struggle to source $40K in cash without selling assets and navigating tax and legal friction.
Coinbase says the offering brings crypto into mainstream housing finance, calling it “as American as apple pie.”
The $HOOD Take Flight event has started and they just announced the Platinum Credit Card!
*$100k - $1m credit limit mentioned
5% cashback on dining and flights
10% on hotels and cars
And more for $3k in total value
The CEO of Uber just revealed his controversial way of running his company.
His principle:
Hard work is a learned skill.
And if you haven't developed it by now, you probably never will.
Dara Khosrowshahi went on Diary of a CEO and dropped something most executives would NEVER admit publicly...
He was asked a simple question:
"Have you ever seen someone who wasn't a hard worker become a really hard worker?"
His answer: "No. No one occurs to me."
Not one person. In decades of building billion dollar companies.
Then he explained why:
"The most important skill in life is the skill of working hard. It's not something you can turn on and off. It's a LEARNED skill. That's not something you're born with."
Read that again.
He's not saying hard workers are special or gifted.
He's saying they LEARNED it. Developed it. Trained it like a muscle.
And the people who never learned it?
They stay that way forever.
This is the guy who turned Uber from bleeding $3 billion a year into printing $10 billion in free cash flow.
The guy who took Expedia from $2B to $9B in revenue.
And his entire thesis on success comes down to one skill most people never bother developing.
Here's how he runs Uber:
"You come to Uber, you're going to work your ass off. If you're not performing, we're going to let you know. And if you don't fix it, we're going to push you out."
He sends emails on Saturdays.
If no response by Sunday, he follows up with just "?"
When HR told him he was "scaring people" early in his tenure, he said:
"Then they can leave."
And here's what separates this from toxic hustle culture nonsense:
Dara has dinner with his family every night. 6 to 8pm is protected.
But he's back on email at 9:30pm.
And again at 5:30am.
It's not about grinding yourself to death.
It's about the refusal to be outworked.
"I'm not going to let anyone outwork me. They may be smarter, more talented. But I'm not going to let anyone outwork me."
He studied the elites. Ronaldo. Jordan. The pattern is always the same...
Talent gets you in the room.
But the thing that separates the best from everyone else?
"They work their asses off. They're disciplined. They're structured. They're relentless."
That's learned behavior. Not genetics.
The uncomfortable truth here is that most people had their chance to develop this skill.
And they didn't.
Now they spend their energy debating whether hard work is "toxic" instead of building something.
The question isn't whether this is "fair" or "healthy" or whatever cope people want to throw at it.
The question is which SIDE you're going to be on.
The people who learned to work?
Or the people who learned to make excuses?
.@PalmerLuckey on following your dreams: “Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.”
“My kids will probably have stupid dreams at some point in their life, I’m not going to tell them to follow that—are you crazy?”
“Most people would be better off following where they can have the biggest impact… following your skills, your talents, not following your dreams.”
