I find a huge difference between writing a magazine article with a maximum number of words, and a book with a minimum number of words. With books, I celebrate the ability to expand my thought, with magazines I challenge myself to be concise.

Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works.
Fun Fact - Purpose is not something we find once and permanently keep.
A coordinated analysis of six long-term studies found that a sense of purpose tends to decline later in life.
Retirement, changing relationships, health, loss and completed ambitions can weaken the goals that once organised a person’s life.
A longer life may require more than one purpose. It may require several renewals.

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis has just stunned the nation, sitting down to SIGN this year’s SMALLER BUDGET THAN LAST YEAR for 4 straight years
Florida will now have a budget less than HALF the size of New York, despite being similar population
And the rainy day fund WILL BE FULL and more than TRIPLE THE SIZE from 7 years ago
FLORIDA DOES IT RIGHT!
No income tax, incoming property tax relief, every state should do this! 🇺🇸 ☀️

With only a week left until #july4th, Celebration Soundtracks posted this, inviting us to raise a little hell (like it's 1776). 📷 🇺🇸🇺🇸 If you'd like Links to Spotify and YouTube Music they are in the comments.

Looks like #America250 is finding its silly side. Perhaps Elon Musk is shaping the minds of children. #Cybertruck#July4 - General George's Cybertruck https://t.co/p04iP23kIF via @YouTubeMusic
During the winter of 1987, I had dinner with Alan Greenspan at the Downtown Club in Manhattan. I was young at the time, and although he was much younger then than I am today, the Maestro always struck me as wise beyond his years.
We joked about ties, pepper grinders, and other light topics, but one comment from Greenspan particularly stood out and helped shape my view of the world. It was the late 1980s, the Berlin Wall was still standing, he observed, “Almost every country in the world is moving more toward capitalism.” He then added, “The United States is the only country moving in the other direction.”I’m confident this is very close to his exact words.
That conversation, along with others I was fortunate to have at age 26 with this brilliant mind, has stayed with me ever since and deeply influenced my thinking on economics. https://t.co/np1smkWeun
This song seems to have taken off across Spotify and YouTube Music. I haven't checked the numbers on iTunes. It's nice, and Diane DeNoble has a great voice, but I would have expected a peppier song to get this much attention. #Music#Julyfour#Streaming https://t.co/eJdI0ZFU4V
@SenWarren Institute a tax that disincentivizing and anti-growth and you can forget about having the next Elon Musk ever starting a business in the U.S.
...I believe one year he paid $10 billion to the IRS in taxes. He'll probably surpass that for 2026.
