Happy Birthday America, Land of the Free.

Don’t give up on the First, Second, Fourth, and Ninth Amendments.

They’re unique, and your freedom - and the worlds’ - depends on them.

[Naval @naval]

The only truly wasted time is time spent wishing you were somewhere else.

[Naval @naval]

If you don’t want this moment, then you will never be happy.

[Naval @naval]

Software platforms are going to be rebuilt for agent-first.

[Naval @naval]

It’s the wisdom of markets, and the madness of crowds.

[Naval @naval]

There are 10x engineers because there are 10x thinkers.

[Naval @naval]

You aren’t starting a company. You’re laying bricks in the foundation of a skyscraper.

The new competition isn’t Humans vs AI. It’s Humans with AI vs everyone else.

[Naval @naval]

“What did you build this week?” is the new “what did you get done this week?”

[Naval @naval]

Software will proliferate just as videos, music, writing did.

The market structure will shift from a “fat middle” to mega-aggregators and a long tail.

We live to reveal ourselves to ourselves.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.

Visit all the places, eat all the food, read all the books, make all the friends, gather all the fame, support all the causes, build all the products, earn all the money...

...to see that the quality of your life is what it is when you are doing nothing.
