Chris Williamson reading Mark Manson’s “10 years of therapy in 1 minute” is gold.
Here’s the condensed wisdom:
1. No one is coming to save you. You’re responsible for your life — even the parts that aren’t your fault.
2. Strong boundaries beat weak ones every time.
3. Most problems don’t get “fixed.” You just learn to live well with them.
4. Your mind lies constantly. Tell it to shut the fuck up.
5. Stop trying to convince people to like you. The right ones won’t need convincing.
6. Sometimes the best move is letting a dream die.
7. Only a few people will truly matter long-term. Keep them close.
Mark’s reaction? “Why isn’t this taught in schools?”
Which of these hits you the hardest right now?
Elon Musk: At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.
Todd had terminal ALS and just ordered a wheelchair—then DMSO gave him his life back
His brain fog vanished. Breathing crises stopped in 3 days. He dragged 340-lb beams across a road. His reflexes healed.
His recovery shocked his doctors—but ALS is far from the only thing DMSO helps.
James Miller MD found roughly 80% of neurological issues people see neurologists for simply go away once he gives them DMSO.
Approximately 2500 studies support its use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to strokes, MS, paralysis, chronic pain, spinal injuries, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome.
Here, I will show how DMSO can cure many "incurable" neurological disorders.🧵
There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.
When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.
We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.
Life isn’t fair. And teaching children otherwise sets them up to fail.
Some people will always have more.
Some will always have less.
The question is: Do you teach children to chase their potential or their excuses?
@FoodProfessor@otanderson Unfortunately this government is unlikely to be genuinely interested in your concerns as they are (by design) direct beneficiaries of the narrowing of debate and freedom of the press.
The CEO of the only company that could build the pipeline to the Pacific lists the five things standing in the way.
All five of them are…. Mark Carney.
Don’t believe me, listen for yourself.
