You need to be teaching your children to be proud to be American

You must never allow anyone to tell them they should apologize for being American

From Christopher Columbus to Neil Armstrong and beyond

America is the land of adventurers, explorers, and heroes

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

We are not in a tech bubble. We are in a tech Big Bang. Expanding in every direction at once.

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

This is definitely where the game will be won or lost.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

You should want to control and host your own memory

It’s the one thing that you should be able to take to any platform

Watch for this to be a defining battle in the new browser war: the AI harness wars of 2027

Pronoia FTW

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

The opposite of paranoia is pronoia, the irrational belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor. I have built my entire career on pronoia and I highly recommend it.

@JTLonsdale Maybe they’ll start taxing cookies on the Internet next 😂

@MaxNordau @Mbakaza4L FAFO is basically a law of physics.

Watching all of these blowhard idiots trying to make the argument that someone should get a pass from FA is stupid.

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

There are two loops in every founder's head.

The autism loop: run your own model to the floor, ignore consensus, hold a thesis when everyone says you're wrong. That makes conviction.

The empathy loop: feel what the user feels, sense what the market wants before it has words. That makes traction.

Most people crank one and starve the other. Pure conviction builds something brilliant nobody wants. Pure empathy builds consensus mush.

PG put the whole job in four words: make something people want. The autism loop makes the something. The empathy loop knows it's wanted. The founder is the bridge.

Most great founders show up dominant in the first loop. That's why they're contrarian enough to try at all. The work is grafting on the second.

There is no place in the world that helps founders make the two loops work together to make great startups than Y Combinator. It is the most gratifying part of our work.

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

A-f**king-men.

This is the truth so many founders miss!

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

A founder kept saying "if only we had money we'd do X."

Money is not the fire. Money is gasoline you pour on a fire that already exists.

You don't have a funding problem. You have a "people don't want it yet" problem. Go make the first fire.

@JustLuai Any ideas what his motive may have been?

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@Mish_K_ @Newrygal1 Like - is the Lucky Charms guy gonna come out with some "river to the sea" bullshit and ruin my childhood? ���

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@Mish_K_ @Newrygal1 Why are so many Irish so in the tank for Hamas?

(or is this just my imagination...?)

I'm half Irish - and I can assure you - I don't like Hamas.

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@AndyWhisney This is profound AF.

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@BriannaWu How did this happen?

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@CrazyVibes_1 Deepest level of TDS unlocked 😂

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@HannahDCox He’s bursting with common sense.

[Jeff Durso @JeffDurso]

@brianeskow There is a certain place in hell for people who drive Teslas but make it a point to say they hate Elon, lol.

He is literally the means of production.

If you don't like it, drive something else, but stop whining 😂
