The Constitution isn’t optional.
The point of the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement is to hassle the government.
It’s supposed to be difficult to search or arrest people. That’s not a bug; that’s a feature of our American republic.
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
2017. Mark Cuban: Reduce the size of government by at least a third. Make it more efficient.
Just a reminder that like so many other Democrats, Cuban was all about cutting government waste until Elon and DOGE started actually doing it.
The leak about the #Browns supposedly being fed up with Jameis Winston is just so baffling
Especially when you consider everything we’ve heard to this point suggests he’s universally loved
What is going on in Cleveland?

In 1960, JFK was 43 and Nixon 47! I’m not ageist, but this debate and the choice it represents between two feeble and broadly unpopular candidates is an indictment of a failed political culture and the two-party system.
Incredible day in Ohio investing in 300+ leaders of Heidelberg Distributing Co.
Loved sharing the message of Keep Chopping Wood and the process of pursuing your best. They got a copy of the book for their leaders as well.
Inspiring leaders, inspiring organization.

I don’t believe there is such a thing as laziness. Rather, I believe that most people spend their lives working on the wrong thing. No one is a lazy procrastinator in all areas of life. Everyone has something they can do effortlessly for hours. And they tend to do that effortless thing better than they do the thing they are lazy about.
Consider, Andre Agassi who wrote an entire biography about how much he hates tennis and how miserable his life was when he pursued it. It would be fair to call him a 99th percentile player. Then you can look at Novak Djokovic. A journalist asked him what keeps him motivated as the greatest of all time. He said “I can carry on playing at this level because I like hitting the tennis ball…there are [other players on the tour] who don’t have the right motivation. You don’t need to talk to them. I can see it…”.
It boggles my mind how insane it is that the greatest of all time gets to simply enjoy hitting the ball while the merely very good player has to turn to smoking meth at the height of his career?
It shouldn’t be this way, that’s not how the world should work! It should reward the suffering, otherwise what is the point? And yet it does seem to be how it works.
For every Fields Medal winner who strolls around day-dreaming and writing poetry there are a hundred adderall addled grad students sacrificing body and mind to come up empty handed. Just as for every peanut brittle chomping, bridge playing centi-billionaire investor there are a hundred middling hedge fund managers who leap from their balconies at the sight of market turmoil. It ain’t fair and it may be grim, but it is ultimately good news.
Everyone thinks we are making some kind of conscious tradeoff between production and happiness on the production-possibility curve but in reality we are just below the frontier for no good reason. There are not a lot of opportunities out there with a return profile like this one.
At the end of my life I want to play a role in as many people as possible saying something like this: "yeah I was working in this field I didn’t really like and my life was kind of miserable and my output sucked and then I realized I should actually be doing this other thing in this weird niche that no one has ever quite done before but I find myself to be perfectly suited for. Now, I’m great at what I do and am very happy and the world gets to experience one more unique instantiation of greatness than it did yesterday.”
It is tragic that in the course of history so few people have been able to utter words like this. We don’t need to throw up our hands. I know there is a lot more that can be done here than we currently think possible.
The Cooper family has cemented its legacy, but the family values of the company have blessed us with many more multi-generational team members. Hear from them, as well as the Cooper family, in our brand new video celebrating 85 years as a family company. https://t.co/BvGqFBJj9K
real-time automated on-chain balance sheet monitoring is obviously going to outperform a system where the most mature financial regulator in the country did not know 36 hours before it closed that its 18th largest bank was illiquid, possibly insolvent.
