Sin ironía, esta es la principal razón por la que creo que vamos a ganar mañana.

Puedes hacer esto cuando ya Todo está bajon control, sobre todo la cabeza. Lo que por décadas ha afectado a nuestro equipo.

Jugar. Así se gana. Jugando.

@SugarShane97 @NadimElHaddad1 Yes, that was at Wembley. Also missing Barrera vs Hamed!

Was at Joshua vs Ruiz at MSG. It was electrifying. And what happens on Sunday can be even more so. Will be there too to compare.

@bryan_johnson I don't see any causal correlation: jet from Gstaad to Marbella = you will do 2 less pull-ops the next day if you try your PB.

A 3 hour drive with the windows down on any major city is certainly worse for any of your metrics than "international travel" as a category.

[David Alatorre López (IV) @daallo1]

@bryan_johnson To be precise in my language: of course you can't compare them. What I mean is you can't put them in the same basket. The underlying issues are sleep deprivation, jet lag, cortisol, air quality, multiple etcs, some of which you can control by flying private + breaking down legs.

Most unicorn founders have a specific event in their past that made starting their company feel non-optional. We call it the “point of origin”. It's also the thing 99% of VCs never bother to look for.

For some founders, they couldn’t bear the thought of letting someone down. We’ve heard stories of parents spending their last $500 to put their kids on a plane to the US in search of a better life, or experiences with being a socially awkward outsider who struggled with the local language and had to work 5x as hard to be noticed.

For others, it came from obsession; we recently met a founder who was so desperate to code games as a kid that he self-taught C++ by hand on paper for a year before his parents bought him a computer.

The origin story explains not just ambition, but also why some founders keep going when everyone tells them to stop. The fact that 50% of US unicorns were founded by immigrants is a telling data point.

Some origin stories are less compelling; people launching companies because colleagues are doing the same, or because the seed fundraise is de-risked, or people who see it as an easy path to riches. These companies rarely endure.

In order to predict who survives the grind, don’t just evaluate the idea. Trace it back to the origin, as it’s typically the strongest indicator of just how far a founder is willing to go.

@CaitlinCloud9 @paulg Some of us fund global operations out of our own revenue and credit lines specifically because we refuse to hand over governance to people whose incentive is to flip, not build. The excess of stupid money is in equity, not debt. (3/3)

[David Alatorre López (IV) @daallo1]

@CaitlinCloud9 @paulg Venture capital is the mechanism with misaligned incentives: push valuation until founders explode or exit, building a real business is irrelevant. Real founders building real businesses are chronically underserved in non-dilutive capital. (2/3)

🚨 Scientists recorded dying brains — and saw a surge of gamma activity linked to consciousness.

In the final moments after cardiac arrest, the human brain doesn't go quiet.

It explodes.

Gamma waves are the fastest, highest frequency brain waves we produce. They appear during intense focus, vivid dreaming, deep meditation, and moments of sudden insight. Tibetan monks who've spent decades meditating show gamma activity so dense it looks structurally different from ordinary human brain scans. Your brain generates gamma when it's doing something extraordinary.

Dying patients showed the most intense gamma surge of their entire recorded sessions in the seconds after their hearts stopped.

The brain was receiving zero oxygen. Zero blood flow. By every biological measure it should have been powering down like a machine losing electricity. Instead the regions most associated with conscious experience lit up harder than they had at any point during life.

What the researchers couldn't answer is the question that makes this finding almost unbearable to sit with.

Was that surge the brain randomly misfiring as its systems collapsed?

Or was it generating the most heightened state of awareness a human being ever experiences?

Because those are not the same thing at all, and the difference between them touches every philosophical, spiritual, and scientific assumption we hold about what consciousness actually is.

The materialist view says consciousness is produced by the brain the way fire is produced by wood. No wood, no fire. The gamma surge gets filed under electrical noise, a dying machine throwing sparks.

But there's a competing framework gaining serious traction among consciousness researchers. What if the brain doesn't produce awareness the way a generator produces electricity, but receives it the way an antenna receives a signal? The organ degrades. The signal doesn't.

That gamma surge might be the antenna losing its filter.
