Getting paid to think is peak everything. If you’re getting paid well to think, don’t take it for granted. That’s 1% of civilization type stuff. Your ancestors are proud and jealous that you’ve gotten this far.

This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:

“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

You can’t skip the messy part. The messy part is where you grow.

I did that because I’m insane. Next question

The soul is not upgraded by books or by thinking or by wanting to be better, the soul is upgraded by pressure that kills everything fake in you. the way fire does. gold is not purified by being admired, it is thrown into heat until everything that is not gold burns away. and what is left is not beautiful because someone made it beautiful, it is beautiful because there is nothing left to lie. war produces poets, peace produces advertisers. collapse produces saints, comfort produces consumers. this is not an opinion, this is history. read it, and the pattern is so blatant it is stupid how anyone misses it. the best human beings you have ever met were made in the worst times, and the emptiest human beings you have ever met were made in the times that should have been the best

The only advice i would give a son is the world hates you until you become useful. then it pretends it never hated you, and you must remember that it did, or you will start believing the love is real. and that is how they tame you

[Listen Brother @Listen_Brothers]

You ain't a G until you lose it all, watch everything fall apart... Have the closest person switch up on you and still stand up, hold your head high, grind, take chances, and get it all back.

I just saw a quote that said, “You worry too much for someone who figures it out every time” and I feel like I’m not the only one who needs to hear that.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

It’s more and more clear that October 7 was for Islamic radicals what Pearl Harbor was for the Japanese—a brilliant tactical success that carried within it the seeds of catastrophic strategic failure

Today I’m drafting a strategy and roadmap for replacing a security SaaS whom we currently pay upwards of $750,000 a year due solely to the behavior of their account team and the way they talk down to my team

The SaaS team has no idea and I cannot wait to tell them in person

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Mark Cuban just pronounced software dead, and the implications will destroy industries before most people understand what happened.

Cuban: “Software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Rigid SaaS dies. Businesses stop bending to static tools. AI molds around needs in real time.

Value chain shatters. Decade of value going to generalist builders ends. Transfers to customizers who translate capability into advantage.

Next trillion comes from customized intelligence sold to “33 million companies” too small for giants to service.

Software-as-a-Service over. Service-as-Software owns everything.

Cuban: “33 million companies aren’t going to have AI budgets, aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Problems exist. Data exists. The bridge doesn’t.

Cuban: “Learn all you can about AI but learn more on how to implement them in companies.”

Market bifurcates into builders and integrators. Integrators capture value builders can’t touch.

Cuban: “Every single job available for kids coming out of school because every single company needs that.”

Technical translator becomes the only role that matters. Contextualizing AI for specific use cases becomes more valuable than building AI itself.

Learn “the difference between Sora and Veo” and “how to customize a model” and you modernize any legacy business’s economics faster than they can process.

Alpha isn’t the model. Alpha is applying it to contexts nobody else understood well enough to solve. There are 33 million businesses waiting for that person who doesn’t exist yet.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

reality is such nightmare fuel that if you try to talk about current events with someone who is blissfully uninformed it is quite literally impossible not to sound delusional, conspiracy-pilled and wildly schizophrenic.

Jensen Huang: "People with really high expectations have very low resilience."

"I think one of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations. And I mean that.

Most of the Stanford graduates have very high expectations. And you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school.

You were very successful. You're top of your class.

Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you're graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet.

You're surrounded by other kids that are just incredible. You naturally have very high expectations.

People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.

I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you. And I was fortunate that I grew up with my parents providing a condition for us to be successful on the one hand, but there were plenty of opportunities for setbacks and suffering.

And to this day, I use the phrase pain and suffering inside our company with great glee. And I mean that. Boy, this is going to cause a lot of pain and suffering.

And I mean that in a happy way, because you want to train, you want to refine the character of your company.

You want greatness out of them. And greatness is not intelligence.

Greatness comes from character, and character isn't formed out of smart people.

It's formed out of people who suffered.

And so if I could wish upon you, I don't know how to do it. For all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering."

The Epstein files seem to confirm what I long suspected—that QAnon was a psyop to make the idea that the world is run by an elite ring of pedophiles radioactive to the segment of the population who didn’t already believe it.

And to convince the people who did believe it that they needed to elect one of the worst offenders, Donald Trump, because he was the only one who could stop it.

It’s insane how many families were torn apart by that. We’re not mad enough.
