At some point, more research becomes avoidance. Billy Oppenheimer on trusting what you've already gathered, cutting inputs, and giving ideas enough silence to connect.

Ultimate ratio

[Sky King @KingDSky]

2 likes out of 8 views has to be some sort of insane ratio the likes of which have never been seen on this platform

[Sky King @KingDSky]

This might trip a few of you out but up to 4% of the population has Aphantasia.

This is the inability to form mental images in their minds eye like the homie @bpoppenheimer.

Low key I think it might be a superpower.

What if AI finally fulfills the promise of technology.

"Technology is just a way do something." -@paulg

@bpoppenheimer really hones in on the importance of the work and what we might lose if we offload too much to AI.

Doing *anything* is hard.

The more you try and do anything the more you realize how good Elon is.

Naval sought freedom by going inward.
Balaji sought freedom by building a better state.
Elon sought freedom by making humans multiplanetary

@EricJorgenson

[Sky King @KingDSky]

It's crazy because @EricJorgenson showed maniacal urgency by trolling me in my own clothes 😂

[Sky King @KingDSky]

Elon is prohuman and I think that is a very good thing. @EricJorgenson

[Sky King @KingDSky]

And I am very hyped to be in Austin for this ride.

The dreamers who have continuously bet and doubled down on SpaceX are not playing stupid financial games, they aren't running government handout schemes, they aren't hoarding wealth that will never be deployed.

The SpaceX IPO is going to bring about the Solar Punk future.

Hold onto your seat belts. It is time to let the rockets go 🚀 @EricJorgenson

[Rikyū @consumersky]

I have been thinking Austin is the future for a decade, but holy hell I wasn’t bullish enough

So insanely hyped on this episode.

Almost blew my life up and joined him in NYC.

[Sky King @KingDSky]

I have never seen @nateliason so hyped.

He is tackling the most glaryingly obvious and important problems for humanity.

Nat went from birthing @FelixCraftAI, turning it into CEO of a "Zero-Person" Company worth millions and instead of chilling at Barton Springs, he got a day job.

It all makes perfect sense.

Nat is on a mission to create teenage millionaires.

The Promise: Make $1m by graduation. Or get 100% of your tuition refunded.

This photo still haunts me.
