Tariffs and border walls are a scarcity mindset; we need an ABUNDANCE mindset. Loved this conversation with silver-tongued @DKThomp about how to *actually* rebuild the American Dream – https://t.co/JeBRXHIjXG

Wonderful conversation with @DanielPink dropped this morning, taking a fresh look at the impact of his book DRIVE and the science of human motivation in the age of AI ... thank you Dan! — https://t.co/n5Ke5MMDLQ

Thank you for the kind words, Tammy ... that's what we are going for!

[Tammy Darling @DrTammyTDarling]

This was such a fun conversation with @rufgrisc and @LorraineBesser https://t.co/wXOHP3Mhq1 that I had to buy https://t.co/avlNMN90aA

Are you a flawed, finite human struggling to stay sane during this election season? Me too. Listen to my conversation with @oliverburkeman, which just dropped this morning, for a beautiful reframing ... https://t.co/xTMSWoEnIi

[Rufus Griscom @rufgrisc]

We just dropped a scintillating conversation with @Gladwell about Revenge of The Tipping Point, his latest page-turner … curious to hear what you think: https://t.co/5Jc2zLNvYL

SBF is a complex person indeed … this conversation with Michael Lewis was a joy.

[John Borthwick @Borthwick]

Michael Lewis on Sam Bankman-Fried / @NextBigIdeaClub podcast is brilliant.

SBF is a complex person -- discussion breaks down the narrative that he was this cartoonish villain. And that Sam is purely a utilitarian, probabilistic thinker -- Lewis talks about his "radical, intuitive judgment" and that, sat beneath much of the talk of EV. Super interview.

Epicureanism turns out to be a far more useful philosophy than its ancient rival, Stoicism. It was also prescient, surprisingly well-aligned with the science of human flourishing - https://t.co/V8hsO30tRC

@BillGates—“The idea that a free product provides arbitrary audio and text human translation—I mean…if you ever had a company that could do that, it would collect tens of billions … And here a small AI company is providing that as an afterthought feature.https://t.co/SDAUEFMTvg

[Rufus Griscom @rufgrisc]

Fresh this morning — a timely NBI conversation with @BillGates, @AndySack, and @adambrotman about the dawn of superhuman AI, which is coming sooner than most think, with more profound implications.

Meet Amadeo Polignani, a 24-year-old rookie cop who, in the final months of 1914, embarked on one of the most daring undercover operations in the history of the NYPD. This is his story in a 🧵

Never miss twice

Forming new habits is not an all-or-nothing process.

Everyone slips up now and then. What separates top performers is how quickly they get back on track.

"Missing once is an accident. Missing twice is the start of a new habit."

Great post from @ecomEddie … this conversation has meaningfully changed how I operate.

[EDDIE CHENG @ecomEddie]

Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement.

Small actions repeated consistently lead to outsized results. A 1% improvement each day compounds to 37x improvement in a year.

"Success is the product of daily habits—not once-in-a-lifetime transformations."

[Rufus Griscom @rufgrisc]

Is generosity a happiness strategy? If so, is it longterm selfish? @TEDchris and I discuss in our latest Next Big Idea podcast … really close to my heart. - https://t.co/Ngs0yIoZ1U

[Next Big Idea Club @NextBigIdeaClub]

We sat down with @karaswisher, about her new memoir called Burn Book: A Tech Love Story. It's a smart, dishy, acerbically funny page-turner about how a young reporter with a cellphone the size of a briefcase became one of the most influential tech critics of the day.

Here is a taste. Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you listen to podcasts).

Loved this convo with @cdixon which just dropped … took my assessment that blockchain will be an important part of our future from 30% to 60%. Crypto skepticism today reminds me of the collapse of faith in the internet in 2000 … oversteering. - https://t.co/qLgzJS788R

[Rufus Griscom @rufgrisc]

@shacheng @cdixon @NextBigIdeaClub @betaworks The blockchain was one corner of tech that I didn’t fully understand … with help from @cdixon, I now buy the argument that it may be more important, not less, in the age of AI. Thanks for joining us @shacheng

[shawn.eth @shacheng]

Packed house for a little fireside with @cdixon and @rufgrisc of @NextBigIdeaClub

So many people excited by the convergence of crypto and AI, web2 and web3.

[Rufus Griscom @rufgrisc]

@ravmike @cdixon @NextBigIdeaClub Indeed, loved this convo w @cdixon who has helped me better understand the blockchain, and its continued — perhaps increased — relevance in the age of AI. Dropping on @NextBigIdeaClub podcast this Thursday, Feb 8. Thanks for joining us @ravmike
