@matthias_reder@SBetschinger Die Frau hat aber auch angegeben, dass sie mit 6 bzw. 9 Jahren begonnen hat, die Plattformen zu nutzen. Bis zu 16 Stunden am Tag. Die Plattformen sind aber erst ab 13 Jahren erlaubt. Das Gericht gibt ihr also Recht, obwohl sie Social Media illegal genutzt hat. Schon verrückt iwi.
@TomasJeffjeff@SBetschinger@grok Welche Milliardäre - wie beispielsweise Marc Zuckerberg - haben Kalifornien rund um den Jahreswechsel 25/26 aufgrund der geplanten Milliardärssteuer verlassen?
@TomasJeffjeff@SBetschinger Gibt es nicht genügend Belege aus Kalifornien? Wo Rund die Hälfte des Milliardärsvermögens rund um den Jahreswechsel das Weite gesucht hat? Aus 2 Billionen wurden in kurzer Zeit 1 Billionen. Die Abwandrungswellen von bspw. UK nach Dubai wäre für mich ein weiterer Beleg.
@PeterKauffmann Vanderbilt wasn't supported by the government when building his railroads. Also, I don't see how Tesla, Amazon or OpenAI were financed by the government. As far as I know SpaceX sells its services to the government - so they are a customer, who needs a product. @andrewrsorkin
@neilpatel@neilpatel Good stuff. Furthermore it would be interesting to know: Can companies with strong personal brands claim for themselves better results in business/revenues/earnings/own branding?
@SBetschinger Elon Musk. Bewertungsdimensionen für mich: Geschaffener Unternehmenswert (und eigenes Vermögen daraus) + Spuren hinterlassen (waren die Geschäftsfelder echte Pionierarbeit zur Marktfähigkeit der eMobilität? Und: Hat er mehrfach erfolgreich aufgebaut oder war er ein One Hit Wonder
I've read 1,000 books over the past decade.
Here's what I've learned.
Most books are simply one great idea surrounded by 300 pages of fluff.
In other words:
Most books are a complete waste of time.
But reading makes us "feel" productive... like we're doing something important.
In reality, it's little more than mental masturbation.
That's not to say reading is bad, per se...
But the goal should never be to read MORE.
It should be to read BETTER.
There are 12 books, in particular, I think are worth re-reading every single year.
I just dropped a new video on YT breaking them down.
Look down below for the link.
But before you do...
Here's my 4 step process for How To Actually Read Better:
1. Read
This first step is simple. Just get the book in your brain.
Common question:
Does listening to the audiobook count?
No.
Listening is a passive activity.
You can listen while going for a walk, doing dishes, vacuuming the living room, or driving to work...
On the surface, this seems like a win.
But if we accept that the quality of our results depends on the quality of our focus...
And multitasking is nothing more than a dilution of our focus.
Then the quality of our learning via audio is diluted.
Reading is hard. I get it.
But that's part of what makes it such an insanely valuable activity.
Wrestling to get the information in your brain is a feature, not a bug.
2. Reflect
We read to collect dots... but then we need to connect them.
My favorite technique for connecting dots:
Writing.
You can start a journal, write a blog, or post to social media.
The key is to actively reflect on what you've consumed.
3. Integrate
This is the most important step:
Actually apply what you've learned.
Ideas are worthless without execution.
4. Repeat
There's magic in re-reading a book.
The words are the same, but you are not.
If you've followed the first three steps, then you've changed as a result of reading the book...
Which means you are a different person engaging with the same material and you'll likely stumble upon all new insights.
This is how you actually read better.
Alright, now get down below and check out the video where I break down the 12 books worth re-reading every year.
