Figuring it out

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

Stop fearing failure

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

To be interesting you must first be interested

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

Your opinion matters. But just how you have your opinion, so does everyone else. Actively listen and ask Socratic questions. Don’t interrupt. Don’t give unsolicited advice. Don’t put them down.

People will like being around you because they just want to be heard.

🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀

This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write…

“All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.”

Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner.

It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you.

Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances.

I went through 3,000,000+ words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas.

The final book is ~50,000 words.

Every word is USEFUL.

(This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.)

Then, I spent $50,000+ on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful.

Then…

> Foreword by @naval.
> Visuals by @jackbutcher.
> Blurb from @mrbeast.
> Published by @scribemediaco.
> And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller.

I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer.

We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR.

Why so much effort?

My mission is to create One Million Musks.

For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams.

I’m an independent author.

I don’t get an advance.

I risk my own time and money to make these books.

Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free.

I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you.

Because I know it is useful.

Useful how?

You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort.

You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success.

You will find both in this book.

Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read.

(I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.)

You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history.

The book on a happy life.

(Replace shortcut with sugar)

[Naval @naval]

Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.

Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.

Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.

Make these habits. Say no to everything else.

Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.

Relax. Victory is assured.

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

Well written

[Asanwa.sol @Chizitere_xyz]

The internet constantly tells women that men are terrible listeners because the second a woman starts venting about her day, the man immediately interrupts to offer a logical solution. We are taught to view this as him being dismissive, emotionally unintelligent, or invalidating our feelings.

​The strict, unpopular truth is that to a man, fixing the problem is his absolute highest, most desperate form of empathy.
​Women vent to connect; we want our partner to just sit in the dark with us and validate the emotion. But men are hardwired to view the woman they love being in distress as an active threat. When he immediately offers a spreadsheet, a strategy, or a solution to your problem, he isn't trying to silence you. His brain has recognized that something in the world is hurting his partner, and his immediate, visceral instinct is to assassinate the thing causing you pain.

We constantly shame men for "not just listening," completely ignoring the fact that his attempt to fix your life is his most profound declaration of love.

@elonmusk Working for them or with them?

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

AI allows anyone to bring their story to life. The creativity of writing a good story is and will always be in demand.

[The Dor Brothers @thedorbrothers]

We made a $300,000,000 movie starring @LoganPaul with AI in less than 7 days.

Yes, this is 100% AI.

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

@naval finally hacking the walking podcast.

A few takeaways:

- Be at the edge of your field

- Don’t get caught in the middle of the pack

- Let the AI’s learn you

- Software/hardware engineering, physics, and philosophy will put you ahead of the pack

- Creativity will be very important in the future

- Use ai and robots to create wealth for you.

- Uses multiple AI’s and factcheck them

“Somewhere along the way we substituted the tool for the purpose”

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

the loss people are feeling is real
identifying with one’s craft has been the hallmark of some of the greatest and there’s something sacred in mastering a skill

but this is going to hit everyone who found meaning only in labor. and it’s revealing something already broken.
work was supposed to be a means to an end. meaning should come from what you’re working for. family, community, something beyond yourself. somewhere along the way we substituted the tool for the purpose

now the tool is being automated and there’s nothing underneath for a lot of people
people should ask themselves “what was the work for?”
some will rediscover what matters. some will realize they never built those things

the ones who answer “who are you” with “i’m a father” instead of “i am my job title ” won’t even understand what everyone else is panicking about. they built on something that can’t be automated

if the purpose was real, it’s still there. if it wasn’t, now you know.
painful, but not too late

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

Set higher goals in life. Moonshots. If you keep you goals small, you hit them but you stay small.

“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same” - Marianne Williamson

[David Senra @FoundersPodcast]

Rick Rubin nails it:

“With the objective of simply doing great work, a ripple effect occurs. A bar is set for everything you do, which may not only lift your work to new heights, but raise the vibration of your entire life. It may even inspire others to do their best work.

Greatness begets greatness. It’s infectious.”

Can you read 900 words per minute? Try it.

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

This is great news for everyone

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

in the last week

- openai launched chatgpt health
- anthropic announced claude for healthcare
- google released medgemma 1.5 which can interpret advanced 3D medical images

we are approaching the point where the best possible medical diagnosis becomes a $20/month subscription

the entire cost structure of healthcare is about to collapse and the age of near-free healthcare is coming

(brought to you by capitalism)

[Eric Bledsoe @ebledx]

Thank you Scott for all of the valuable lessons. You will be missed.
