Jeff Bezos reveals why compromise is one of the worst ways to resolve a disagreement

"An example of a really bad way of coming to agreement is compromise. If I say the ceiling is 11 feet and you say 12 feet, we say let's call it 11 and a half. That's compromise"

"The advantage of compromise is it's low energy. But it doesn't lead to truth"

"Another really bad resolution mechanism is who's more stubborn. Two executives disagree, they have a war of attrition, and whichever one gets exhausted first capitulates. You haven't arrived at truth, and this is very demoralizing"

"Escalation is better than a war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say, we can't agree, we like each other, we're respectful, but we strongly disagree, we need you to make a decision"

"Exhausting the other person is not truth seeking. Compromise is not truth seeking"

🚨 I just learned about a concept, I can't stop thinking about.

The Four Burner Theory.

It destroyed Elon Musk's first marriage.
It explains why Bezos is jacked but divorced.

And why Zuckerberg has no real friends.

Once you understand it, your life will never be same:🧵

Inflation is now 0.68%

A massive deflationary force is swallowing the US economy.

The Fed must cut rates aggressively.

🚨 OMG 😭 Trump just HUMILIATED Macron right to his face and it’s absolute GOLD 😂

Trump: “Here’s the deal, Emmanuel — you’re gonna do it and you’re gonna do it FAST. If you don’t? I’m slapping 25% tariffs on you… and 100% on your wines & champagne.”

Macron: “No, no, Donald, I will do it! I will do it!”

Trump: “It took me 3 MINUTES!” 🤣🤣🤣

Then Trump goes even harder:

Macron: “No, no, Donald, I can’t… you’re asking me to double.”

Trump: “Emmanuel… you’ve been taking advantage of the United States for 30 YEARS. You WILL do it. I’m 100% sure you’ll do it.”

Macron: “No, no, no!”

SAVAGE. Nobody does it like Trump 🔥🇺🇸

$22 TRILLION: That is the defense spending gap between the U.S. and NATO since 1980, according to Treasury Sec. Bessent.

SEC. BESSENT: "I think that the NATO alliance is very safe, sound and thanks to President Trump, it's never been more secure."

"Europeans have been spending the money on social welfare, on roads, on education, and it's time for them to pay more, which they've agreed to do." @MariaBartiromo

LEGO has announced the Smart Brick

A 2x4 brick that can create sounds, light up & detect what characters and builds it is being used in

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

LEGO announced a new “Smart Brick” at CES:

▫️built a tiny computer into 2x4 bricks
▫️bricks “come alive” by lighting up or making sounds (triggered by NFC smart tags inside smart LEGO tiles and minifigs)
▫️LEGO built its own ASIC chip (fits into brick stud and smartphone app provides firmware updates)
▫️chip takes sound as input only (for privacy, it doesn’t record and no camera and no AI features)
▫️multiple Smart Bricks can make a Bluetooth mesh network (by telling position and direction of bricks, it can trigger crash sounds if brick is hit and track “winning” vehicles in a race)

LEGO says it is the “the most significant evolution in the Lego System-in-Play since the introduction of the Lego Minifigure in 1978.”

First Smart Bricks set come out in March and are Star Wars themes (X-Wing, Tie Fighter).

Palmer Luckey, the founder of the defense-technology firm Anduril Industries, which is a military contractor, says that UFOs come from the past.

Yes, they are technology from an ancient breakaway civilization that survived the cyclical event. They are piggybacking on the current civilization and use us as resources. There is also an interdimensional aspect, which is more important than anything physical or materialistic and is directly connected to evolution.

26 weapons grade parenting tips:

1/ Give them a "heads up," 5 minutes until bedtime, 10 minutes before leaving the playground

2/ Look at the world more through their eyes

3/ Don’t discipline like an angry madman. Stay calm and firm, model how you want THEM to resolve conflict

4/ Let them argue their case respectfully. Teaches negotiation and critical thinking

5/ Skip the long lectures

6/ Use natural consequences: forgot homework? Let them explain it to the teacher. Forgot their lunch? They'll figure it out

7/ Be consistent and follow through. "We are leaving the playground if you don't stop..."

8/ Make "How can I help?" part of YOUR vocabulary. It builds reliability

9/ Share your unseen efforts: hustling for work, hitting the gym. Actions speak louder than words but when they can’t see it, TELL THEM

10/ Teach accountability by modeling it yourself: “I was wrong. sorry”

11/ Create family traditions like weekly movie nights, Sunday pancakes, whatever works

12/ More game nights

13/ Take an interest in their interests: video games, books, sports... do it with them.

14/ Hike together. Nature slows time and generates gratitude

15/ Build something. LEGO, puzzles, a fort, the Amazon delivery box

16/ Teach them skills: tie knots, start a fire, read a map

17/ Introduce chess or checkers. Start early

18/ Let them plan a family outing or navigate you there (they can get you through the airport)

19/ Always greet your wife with love. That moment sets the tone for the family

20/ Share some challenges (age appropriate)

21/ Respect their privacy. Knock before entering their room

22/ Teach the value of money early: "wants vs. needs," compounding, saving, etc

23/ Let them see you sweat

24/ Teach them to cook. Start small: eggs, pancakes, cookies. Embrace the mess

25/ No screens at meals ever

26/ Prioritize movement as a UNIT: family walks, workouts, hikes, dance-offs- whatever gets the everyone in synch
