@EldridgeIsKing Barry bonds gets more attention for not being in the HOF than all other inducted players combined.
He doesn’t need to be in the hall - he is the hall.
As a founder, your number one job is to eat shit.
You're on the call with the upset customer. You need to fire people by telling them directly. You're listening to the engineer who wants to quit due to burnout. You have to read the 40-page vendor contract, which is a nightmare to go through.
Every hard, uncomfortable thing lands on your desk. That's the whole job. You're here to absorb the bad stuff so everyone else can keep moving.
@bryan_johnson If you believe, persistently, that life is happening for you- and not to you- it will.
Kate's current reality is evidence that life has already been happening for her.
Why would things all of a sudden be different? Keep on keeping on.
"it takes hard work to achieve anything great" is a dangerous lie. great output comes from finding an activity that feels as natural as breathing or walking and great work becomes the very substance of your existence. if it feels like a grind you've found the wrong expression
This has been a bad year for the @SFGiants but I’m excited to see what they are going to get for Robbie Ray, Tyler Mahle, Adrian Houser, Luis Arraez, Matt Chapman, Heliot Ramos, Caleb Kilian, Ryan Walker, Sam Hentges, Keaton Winn, Dylan Smith, Erik Miller & Logan Webb 😈
@elonmusk Moderation has been thrown out the window and everyone has lost their minds - both sides tout the first amendment but neither truly embrace its spirit
Democrats and republicans both, go to your fucking rooms you’re both in timeout
Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.
The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.
The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.
There is just less competition for bigger goals.
listen to me.
there is going to become a day very soon when age-reversal starts to become a mainstream reality
many people will fight back against this, wanting to "protect" humanity
you have to run from these people, they are the last humans to die.
@NTFabiano Once you believe, with the core of your being, that everything is happening for you- not to you- life becomes a video game so enjoyable you just refuse to ever put the controller down
Taken to its limit, it's developed conviction (faith) that everything is happening for you.
Rejection, isolation, pain, mild inconvenience - all for you. For your character, growth- to ripen that desired, sweet fruit of your labor.
Look for the evidence, and you shall find it.
Sunday mission: express gratitude for an amazing human in your life — before they’re gone.
Take a break from politics, podcasts and tokenmaxxing.
Take your shoes off and touch some grass or sand, and reflect on the outpouring of love for @om and @JoshuaBaer we witnessed when these two beautiful humans died too young over the past couple of weeks.
Think of a great human in your life you might not have talked to in a bit, and say something extremely honest about them.
Right here, right now… a mini, pre-eulogy that they can enjoy in the human realm.
I’ll start.
Before All In and the Uber lottery ticket, my partner was @brianalvey
One of the smartest, strongest and steadfast men I’ve ever met.
Whose loyalty to me in the arena was unwavering, even when I was completely making it up as we fought to make something — anything — of ourselves.
Two kids from Brooklyn with less than $1,000 between them in our bank accounts at any time… but absurdly rich in enthusiasm, skills and fearlessness.
Nothing to lose, no need for sleep… just a passion to build something.
CyberSurfer, the next D&D, Silicon Alley Reporter, Weblogs Inc, or Meet the Makers — anything that might… work.
A giant of a friend, collaborator, father, husband and futurist.
The fastest wit at the table, with a wry smile and the perfect insight every time I needed it.
Brian Fucking Alvey.
Love you brother
Live In Peace!!!
A 3rd of American adults now use chatbots for health advice.
e.g. this founder had aggressive lymphoma and used Claude to help him go through chemo. 6 months later, he's clear.
His story is one of many showing AI is already filling gaps the healthcare system can't.
