.@JTLonsdale says the best thing Peter Thiel taught him was how to win with focus:
“Effort on any project is convex.”
“If you spend 80% of your time focused on something—that’s half as good as spending 90% of your time.”
“Being 99th percentile is worth so much more than being 90th percentile. Because it means you’re number one.”
“And being number one is worth a lot.”
“Anything I invest in—someone really amazing is making it their main thing. The CEO has to be all in.”

Most of the known knowledge is quite easy and straightforward. Don’t put value on knowledge, you will always be disappointed. Sometimes, existing knowledge can even limit us. Pick one problem and solve it until it’s done.
Our minds default to past tactics that once worked: not always yielding the same results, but often limiting us. Real growth comes from being present, reading the situation, and overriding those defaults with new approaches. These days, they call it having a taste.
No single AI agent can outperform a human who manages thousands of AI agents with a clear vision for solving a specific problem. Learn to be a AI manager. Tools to make human good AI managers will make a lot of money next decade.
AI Agents act as a force multiplier for your particular skill level. Outcomes will vary highly based on your ability to prompt, give agents the right context, orchestrate their work, and review for accuracy. The novice can ramp faster, but the expert can now do way more.
The game theory of autonomous drones is similar to the game theory of nuclear weapons - with MAD, doomsday devices, and first /second strike, but scaled down to individuals.
We are entering the age of “if you can see it, you can kill it.”
Anonymity is the best defense.
Rust might become the ideal language choice for most codebases. AI agents make a few mistakes working in Rust. The language that AI can work on safely and quickly will win the game. In next coming years, engineers will try to optimize the working time of AI agents.
Invention doesn’t come from experience or vast knowledge, it comes from relentless experimentation and failure. To make AI truly invent new things and ideas, we must enable it to experiment on its own.
We are living in an era of stagnation. Society unconsciously prioritizes escapism over purpose, and relationships become shallow and transactional. But every stagnation eventually ends—and those who prepare will be the ones who win.
