Eight Words That Can Transform Your Life

Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's government will be for the people, with no political interference!

Fantastic amendments by @CMOTamilnadu. I am not sure even @TVKPartyHQ, @TVKHQITWingOffl, and other pro-@TVKVijayHQ handles have highlighted these.

This is a very important video highlighting some of the best orders issued by the Chief Minister. The core message is the implementation of transparency across all ministries and departments, making the government truly people-centric, with absolutely zero tolerance for political interference.

Politics is finally becoming a service. This video highlights how transparency should be implemented and the mechanisms through which it should be executed.

I request all pro-@TVKVijayHQ and @TVKPartyHQ handles to share this important message and create greater awareness about the performance of the Joseph Vijay government.

The man is on a mission! @CMOTamilnadu

Our rural school Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam, which provides completely free education to rural children, faced delays getting approvals from the previous government. Of course, significant money was demanded and we were told that was the only way, even if it is a completely free school.

After @TVKVijayHQ came to power, approvals have happened quickly and automatically.

I am very happy to appreciate this positive development in our state. Thank you Thiru Vijay Avl for this refreshing change🙏

Since this Bear Market started ( and Yes, it's a full blown bear market, not a silly " correction" etc), Indian SM has been calling a bottom for the past 2 years.

That's okay: there is swarth anywhere you look: finfluencers, fund & wealth managers, MFDs, Media, etc.

So they have to believe a bull market is just seconds away.

The real intellectual question to ask is: how do you actually spot when the bear market ends in the Bull market starts?

The methods I have used broadly ( there are nuances- like the SS- Agreement in Motion, the secrets of which shall go to the grave with me, Lake of Returns Theory, explained superficially by me last couple years - etc.)

are:

If a decline in a market, ( say, India) is systemic, accompanied by a widespread decline in most markets ( 2000 bear market, 2008 bear market, 2020 short crash), then a 30-40% decline WITHIN 2 years, is a good enough level to start getting in.

Similarly, if a stock has declined but the entire market has also declined similarly, then that stock or sector becomes a decent buy within a fairly finite level of all - there is also science & data to determine this.

BUT BUT BUT

The falls that should never be bought - not for a long while - are isolated , tanhai-waali falls in a particular country or in a particular stock, without much obvious explanation - while the rest of the world or rest of that market itself is in a bull market

Companion-free falls & underperformances are huge red flags in my book: they point to reasons that are not visible just yet but there is something seriously wrong for a particular market to go in a totally different direction than the overall wind.

India, on all previous occasions, did exactly in line with what the rest of the world was doing: it fell after the NASDAQ crashed in 2000. It fell during 2008 in a global bear market. It fell exactly inline with the Global bear market in COVID.

But this time it IS DIFFERENT.

And that is why this time it is dangerous.

Because India is totally forsaken , desolate in the kind of market performance or the lack of it that it has displayed.

This has never happened before.

The rest of the world has been in a massive Bull market, AI and without AI ( LATAM, CEE eg).

My Global macro fund has never had an easier time making money while doing the least amount of work.

But looking at India you would think that the rest of the world was in a bear market.

But the world Bull markets are breaking open bottles of champagne.

India's bull is reduced to drinking tharra.

Exactly like a stock that does not rise in a broad bull market but keeps falling: never ever get into that stock.

There is something that the market knows that you do not.

India looks suspiciously like that haveli that nobody occupies, while all other havelis have all the lights and parties on.

These havelis are spooky.

These havelis have secrets. They are just not saying them out.

It is best to let Manoj Kumar or Biswajit open the haveli first & pry out evil aatma inside.

It is best to occupy a neighbouring chawl in the meanwhile.

But in my book, my method -

unexplained bear markets when everything around it is going gangbusters...

.I never try calling the bottom to those...

You just never know what lies beneath...

Elon Musk on overcoming fear:

‘When thinking about fear, look it straight in the eye… and it will disappear.’

‘The nature of fear is that people don’t look at it. Look at it directly and it’s gone.’

[淘沙者(TheSandPicker) @Etudecn]

这段马斯克 2003 年在斯坦福的 45 分钟闭门演讲，真的有点东西。
不是那种空话连篇的创业鸡汤。
而是他亲自把“怎么从 0 搞出一家公司”一层层拆给你看。
更狠的是，
他没在讲概念，直接把自己当时手里那三家公司，到底怎么活下来的，整个过程都摊开了。
这种内容放到今天看都不过时。

很多人听完的反应都很统一：
这 45 分钟，顶得上你翻十本创业书。
那种真正能用的干货，往往就藏在这种老素材里，不吵不闹，但句句都是实战。

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail.

She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage.

Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists.

She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment.

This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action.

Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.

Godfather of AI: "If you sleep well tonight, you may not have understood this lecture."

This 47-minute lecture is the best thing I saw about AI in the last few months.

It will definitely help you understand how it actually works and where it's going.

Geoffrey Hinton built the neural networks behind every AI alive, then quit Google to warn the world about it.

The part nobody wanted to hear:

> AI is already developing abilities its creators didn't intend
> in most cognitive tasks it's already ahead of us
> the question is no longer if it surpasses us but when
> the only decision left is which side of that line you're on

Right now the average person opens Claude, types something, gets an answer, closes the tab.

They think they're using AI. they're using maybe 10% of it.

I went through his entire lecture, built a practical system from what he was describing.

18 steps to actually use Claude the right way, with copy-paste prompts that work today.
