Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué :

"Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas."

Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées.

Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri.

Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent.

Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment.

Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs.

Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique.

Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile).

D'où ma théorie :

Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur.

D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres.

Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent.

C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.

One of my favorite time management essays is “Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule” by @paulg. Give it a read.

As @bfeld and many others have observed, great creative work isn’t possible if you’re trying to piece together 30 minutes here and 45 minutes there.

Large, uninterrupted blocks of time—3-5 hours minimum—create the space needed to find and connect the dots.

And one block per week isn’t enough.

There has to be enough slack in the system for multi-day CPU-intensive synthesis. For me, this means at least 3-4 mornings per week where I am in “maker” mode until at least 1pm.

If I’m in reactive mode, maker mode is all but impossible.

OpenClaw / Hermes pro tip:

Don’t just read this article.

Paste the entire thing inside your agent and say:

“Turn this into a creative workflow for my brand. Give me the exact prompts, asset plan, campaign structure, and step-by-step execution checklist.”

This is the part people are missing.

AI articles are no longer just content.

They are playbooks your agents can turn into systems.

Higgsfield + Claude just made creative work feel like vibe coding.

GoPro started with one camera. @truffsauce spent two years developing one recipe for one bottle of hot sauce. @livebricked started with one device that blocks phone distractions.

A camera. A bottle of hot sauce. A device for your phone. Three completely different products. Same starting point. One specific thing that solved one specific problem.

You don't need a full product line to start a business. You need one product.

Executive Brief of our latest episode:

Sell the Truth

1.⁠ Credibility matters more than sales tactics. The people worth impressing can see through manipulation immediately, so persuasion starts with authenticity, competence, and honesty.

2.⁠ Saying “yes, and” works because most people have a reason for believing what they believe. Understand their position first before trying to move them anywhere else.

3.⁠ Objectivity is a form of honesty. The more ego you remove from your thinking, the more clearly you can see reality and make better decisions.

4.⁠ Charisma is confidence plus love: projecting strength and goodwill at the same time. Honesty without kindness turns people away; kindness without honesty becomes fake.

5.⁠ Leadership is not telling people what to do—it’s making them want to do it. The best leaders connect the mission to people’s own ambitions and motivations.

6.⁠ Humans are built to hunt together in small, high-trust groups. The most meaningful work happens when small teams of highly capable people pursue difficult missions together.

7.⁠ Sales works best when it doesn’t feel like sales. If you genuinely believe in what you’re offering, enthusiasm replaces technique.

8.⁠ Feed your good obsessions. Real work is driven more by obsession, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation than by frameworks, business books, or motivational podcasts.

9.⁠ Optionality matters. The wrong long-term deal can trap you for years, so it’s better to walk away than compromise into the wrong partnership.

10.⁠ We live in an age of nonlinear returns. One massive outcome outweighs dozens of smaller wins, so focus on asymmetric upside instead of fighting over small spoils.

11.⁠ The goal is not to maximize every dollar—it’s to build a life where you preserve your freedom, energy, curiosity, and peace of mind.
