Sometimes the best measure of a product’s success isn’t launch day. It’s 20 years later. The Wii launched in 2006. Today, a group of seniors in Tulsa, the U.V. Okies, are still gathering around it, competing, laughing, and building community through Wii bowling.

The Wii worked because it didn’t ask people to become “computer users.” It brought technology into a world they already understood. Throw a bowling ball.

Great products don’t make humans adapt to machines. They make machines adapt to humans. That lesson matters even more now as we enter the next tech transition with AI.

The breakthrough won’t just come from more compute, bigger models, or better benchmarks. It will come from building experiences people actually want in their lives...technology that feels approachable, empowering, and even a little magical. The products that last are the ones that make us more human, not less.

Thanks @nytimes for a great reminder of tech and human connection working together.

@thedankoe Dan Koe is spot on that AI isn’t the real threat — dependency and lack of taste are.
That gap is still 100% human — taste, timing, and the courage to ship imperfect work based on real feedback.

Some empowering beliefs that have served me well:

1. Everything in this world is 100% rigged in your favor
2. Every circumstance is an opportunity for progress
3. Every problem I’m facing is a solvable skill issue
4. Every outcome isn’t in my control, but my response to it is

Are each of these true? Not necessarily

Are each of these useful? Certainly

@WatcherGuru "$250B erased" — on a stock that's existed for 10 days and is still above its IPO price.
$SPCX dropping 10% isn't a crisis — it's Tuesday.
Big number, small story.

Education system rewards sitting still and being agreeable.
Women win.
Then they complain there are no high-earning men left.
We really speedran the consequences.

What I learned when I started learning to swim, as an adult:

1. The water holds you up. You just have to stop fighting it. Most of drowning is panic, not physics.

2. You can't think your way across a pool. At some point you have to let go of the wall.

3. Breathing is the whole game. Get that wrong and strength doesn't matter.

4. Everyone looks awkward at first. The people who kept going just got awkward in deeper water.

5. The fear shrinks every single lap. It never fully leaves. You just learn to move with it.

Turns out swimming was never really about swimming.

@kangminlee Radical in the streets, colonized in the sheets is actually the most accurate description I’ve heard all year.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Chris Williamson laid out a brutal trend on Tucker Carlson:

Girls are crushing the modern education system (built for sit-still, conscientious types), leading to women now earning two college degrees for every one man.

The economy shifted from brawn to brain + credentials, and young women (21-29) are already out-earning men on average. Add in welfare support for single mothers, and many men are left feeling… surplus to requirements.

Women increasingly say they won’t marry a man who earns less.

47% of U.S. women ages 25-34 have a bachelor’s degree vs. 37% of men (Pew Research, 2024). Women earn the majority of degrees at every level.

@UTDKarra One guy being an idiot and the entire Mexican FA + government said ‘we got you sis.’ This is the kind of redemption arc we needed.

Today I finally floated.
Weeks of sinking, panicking, swallowing half the pool — then today I just stopped fighting, and the water held me up.
Funny how that works. The moment you stop struggling is the moment you rise.
Keep going. Your float day is coming.

@thedankoe Don't rip everything out. Redesign your defaults so the person you want to be is the path of least resistance.
Change your defaults, not just your scenery.
