Making Indian Country Strong |If not us, who? If not now when? | Oklahoma & ᏣWᎽ Proud |

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Mark Cruz understands that our responsibility to Tribal Nations includes a commitment to deliver better healthcare and better outcomes for Native communities. His experience, credibility, and determination to strengthen the Indian Health Service will expand access to quality care and fortify partnerships with Tribal leaders. I congratulate Mark on his well-deserved confirmation and look forward to working with him as Director of IHS to deliver the care American Indian and Alaska Native families deserve.

Built for the wild. Built for the moment.

Wolverines roam remote wilderness and dominate the hardwood. 

Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines on their NCAA championship. 🏆 🏀

[HHS @HHSGov]

Today, joined by @SecKennedy, @IHSgov hosted its 70th Anniversary Summit where tribes across the country convened to celebrate decades advancing the health and well-being of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and highlighted how food sovereignty and improving nutrition are reflected in the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The most useful razors and rules I've found:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 7-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "7 figures" -- assume it's closer to $1 million than $9 million.

7. Mack's Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Razor - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

The most pressing issue of our day

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

JUST IN: Whisky, dog toys... and trademark law.

SCOTUS has agreed to hear a dispute between Jack Daniel's and a company that makes squeaking "Bad Spaniels" dog toys. The case will have implications for the tension between parody & intellectual property. https://t.co/OmR3rimMCH

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

Today at SCOTUS: The court hears a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act, a 1978 law in which Congress intended to protect Native American children from being separated from their families. @AHoweBlogger explains the debate over its constitutionality: https://t.co/C2Jc8miQjb

Great write up about Oklahoma v Castro-Huerta, a case currently before #scotus.

The question before the court is “May states (like #Oklahoma) prosecute Non-Indians who commit crimes against Indians in Indian Country.” Soon we will have an explicit answer.https://t.co/fRwB24XYbC
