@FroehlichThors1 Bring some evidence - beyond just a title

[James Altucher @jaltucher]

I wish 30 year old James had boundaries. He was always trying to please. But you can't just tell someone "Have boundaries." You have to buiuld them. The way to build them is. strengthening the four bodies: Physical (sleep, move eat). Emotional (good relationships), Creative (write ten ideas a day), and Spiritual (surrender to the things you cannot control).

@FroehlichThors1 @DonMiami3 Dont argue with the 🍌

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@PalmerLuckey @joni_askola Thank you for kinda agreeing.

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@FroehlichThors1 @Freedom_By_40 Explain a but more. Eth price is pure speculation.

@gestalt_j @paulg @AOC I am saying there is a benefit by building in USA.

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@engineers_feed Very simple, once electricians and mechanics will make 300-500usd/h, becoming the influencer is the easier path.

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@jaltucher Thanks, do you know how much each of these companies will get?

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@stats_feed Could it be that they enjoy more Spain, hence open their wallets?

Just remembered the world sauna championship. Was one of the most interesting things I've read about

It used to be hosted in Finland every year until the incident in 2010. Rules were that it started at 110°C (230F). Then 1 litre of water was poured onto the stove every 2 minutes

The last person to walk out under their own power won

In 2010, both finalists had to be dragged out

The russian finalist died, burned all over, and the reigning Finnish champ went into a coma and woke up 6 weeks later with 70% of his skin burned, kidney failure and his airways completely roasted

One peculiar thing about it was there were no prizes. Only in one particular year did the winner get 1 small prize, some special heat resistant speakers that could be used in a sauna

But despite this, participants went to the edge of death every year and would do insane stuff like grow their hair out long specifically to cover their ears so it didn't get burned by the boiling water vapor

It was interesting to me because it's another piece of evidence that as soon as you create a ruleset... no matter how ridiculous it is, no matter how small the group of participants, no matter the extremely chance of death, and no matter a total lack of prizes. There will always be men willing to compete to the point of actually killing themselves

The male brain enters a kind of hypnotic trance where it will completely convince itself of the worthwhileness of the task, so long as it begins to venture seriously down the path of a competitive interest

It's kind of like a hijacking of the programming evolutionary mind, where no incentive makes sense but it happens anyway. You can find a million examples of this for every male interest on the planet. Just the simple act starting down a path confers it meaning to the person, and the more they are surrounded by other men who care about the same thing, the more they learn and compete, the more entranced by it they are, until their identity is fully subsumed by it and stuff like these sauna deaths happen

Seeing lots of things like this taught me to be very careful when I start down the path of any competitive interest or business, because getting hypnotized by what you are doing is essentially guaranteed. So it's good to assume it'll happen and be totally sure the outcome is worth your potential self-destruction

If you have under $10 million and you are buying Apple, you have voluntarily entered the one fight in all of public markets where you have no edge, no advantage, and no reason to exist.

There are 40 PhDs, three sell-side teams, and a sovereign wealth fund modeling Apple’s next quarter to the penny, and you, with your brokerage app and your podcast opinions, have decided to join that table. You will not find a mispricing in Apple. The mispricing in Apple was arbitraged away before you finished reading the headline.

Meanwhile there is a $90 million industrial parts distributor in Wisconsin that no analyst covers, no fund can buy because the position would take six weeks to build, and no institution will touch because it would not move the needle on a billion-dollar book. That is your table. That is the only table where being small is an asset instead of a punchline. Your size, the thing that feels like a limitation, is the single greatest structural edge available to a human being in public equities, and you are spending it on the most picked-over stock on Earth.

The big funds cannot follow you down here. That is the entire point. Go where they physically cannot fit.

@michaeljburry @Spe_ctre00V How about the fudge of the chips depreciation? Is that theory still true?

[Chivoiu Ciprian @ciiciprian]

@FroehlichThors1 @HenrikZeberg Expand a bit more. Thanks!

The 5 hardest open problems in engineering right now:

1. Nuclear fusion
We've been "20 years away" for 70 years. In 2022, NIF finally achieved ignition. The problem now: how do you build a commercial reactor around a reaction that lasts 100 nanoseconds?

You've seen this scar on older people's arms. That weird little starburst on the shoulder.

It's not from a normal shot.

The smallpox vaccine wasn't injected like a regular jab. They used a bifurcated needle - basically a tiny fork with two prongs. Invented in 1965 by a guy named Benjamin Rubin, who ground down the eye of a sewing machine needle to make it.

Here's the wild part. You dip the needle in the vaccine and one drop gets caught between the prongs. That's the whole dose. Then you jab the arm 15 times, fast. Quick shallow pricks, just deep enough to draw a bit of blood and slip the weakened virus into the skin.

Your immune system does the rest. Red bump. Blister. Pus. Scab. Falls off. Scar for life.

The mark isn't from the needle. It's from your body fighting the virus. And the reason it looks like a starburst instead of a dot? Those 15 rapid punctures.

That scar is basically a receipt. Proof you survived one of the deadliest diseases in human history before we wiped it off the planet.

@sama Better memes :)

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

You shouldn’t be trying to do more in each day, trying to fill every second with a work fidget of some type. It took me a long time to figure this out. I used to be very fond of the results-by-volume approach.

Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions. The options are almost limitless for creating “busyness.”

@AndrewYang Only because they were born in USA. Of born in North Korea, extremely likely will be an ordinary talented citizen.
