Real wealth is not about money.
Real wealth is:
-not having to go to meetings
-not having to spend time with jerks
-not being locked into status games
-not feeling like you have to say “yes”
-not worrying about others claiming your time and energy
Real wealth is about freedom.
@JamesClear People forget about the importance of context, location and time frame.
So many variables need to be replicated for a single example of "success" to work twice.
Look at many, find your own.
When reading books or listening to podcasts or taking advice, remember that everyone is biased to their personal history.
The world is complex and there is no single path to a success. Look for patterns that are repeated across many successful people, not single stories.
Despite only moderate social-distancing measures, the epidemic stopped growing in Stockholm County by mid-April, and has since shrunk significantly, implying that the herd immunity threshold was reached at around 20% of the population being immune: https://t.co/ldK8BY9kdX
Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.

Colleges have to convince students for the next year that a remote education is worth every bit as much as an in-person one, and then pivot back before students actually start believing it.
It’s like only being able to sell your competitor’s product for a year.
While most CEO's are busy artificially inflating their company stock prices with stock buybacks, @elonmusk is willing to opine publicly that his company's stock price is too high. That's what makes him so real and captivating; he's playing on an entirely different game board.
20/n. I gave up macro and I embraced micro. I think it’s all micro. It’s like change yourself, then maybe change your family and your neighbor before you get into abstract concepts about I’m going to change the world.
Envy is an illusion.
The part of the person that we envy doesn’t exist without the rest of that person.
If we aren’t willing to trade places with them completely - their life, their body, their thoughts - then there is nothing to be envious about.
Half of us are working from couch and luxuriating in the myth of shared sacrifice.
The other half are getting their livelihoods crushed while the virus lies in wait.
BREAKING: Governor Newsom has just announced he will order ALL beaches in ONLY Orange County closed, rather than all beaches in state as memo said. He called recent crowds at OC beaches “disturbing”. There is a protest planned at Huntington Beach pier tomorrow at noon. @FOXLA
$TSLA CEO @elonmusk blasts shelter in place orders: “To say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic, this is not freedom, give people back their god damn freedom.”
