Met someone who was a server in Lake Tahoe. Charles gave her a $5000 tip at the end of the night.

This is an amazing quote, and it's true well beyond politics.

There is no they.
Everyone is figuring it out as they go.
You can just do things.

@stoolpresidente least surprising story ever.

Ben Affleck says life has to be hard and difficult in some ways, not traumatic or awful but.. Some of the best lessons in life can be learned from failure and not success.

386 days after Elon’s decline and fall…

He’s the World’s first trillionaire.

The Media truly does suck.

@unusual_whales they should always be doing that.

@signulll Maybe but trees don't grow to the sky. It's an extremely competitive field and fashion/retail is a business that has fads. Pretty remarkable that they stayed as relevant as they did for as long as they did.

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.

@Scaramucci Preach! Going through a divorce. Cried about it for a couple days. But I'm not the first man that got a divorce. Get up, dust yourself and and move forward.

@BoringBiz_ Anthropic may be priced fairly but I've long thought Google is undervalued. I understood when LLM's were introduced in 2022 there were some questions with their search business but they have done nothing but grow search(19% last Q) and they have back log of $450b in cloud

There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life. What will change your life is the person you become in the process of going for it.

The best therapist I’ve seen is exercise.

[Moral Philosophy @ML_Philosophy]

Be boring in the right ways. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Eat simple foods. Save money. Exercise. Read old books. Avoid drama. Boring is seriously underrated.

@BarrySchwartzBW true but Google's Cap Ex spend directly correlates to increased revenue($450b backlog). Meta is just spending into the abyss. Deserves a lower multiple than Google. Having said, I'm buying the dip on META. Too good of an underlying business.

I'm in love with this sentence:

“Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach.”
