@MichaelAArouet I don’t think the world acknowledges how hard is the regime working to intervene in central and western countries’ elections. Poland being just one of many examples. It’s an act of war, imho, and yet no consequences for it

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@davidsenra @pmarca He’s actually talking about having no guilt and no self-second guessing. A very tiny area of introspection. In a podcasts that’s literally a proof of the power of introspection.

@lulumeservey @dpifke 100% and backed up by neuropsychology. The great ad hoc speaking correlates with good copywriting. But deep thinkers need time to translate the depth and breadth of their thinking into messaging. (These two traits don’t necessarily exclude each other of course).

@benln @KamilStanuch @cursor_ai @nickwm We need an actual Cursor Cafe here 🤓 A glimpse into the future of work.

@elonmusk The entire framework assumes leftward movement = capture/failure; rightward =staying "sane" (the title). Ideology masquerading as analysis. One could equally argue that women gained political consciousness while men failed to evolve.And that's just one of many logic issues here

@Anzer__786 @FoundersPodcast Totally and many of high achievers say they have it even after their legendary achievements. The nuance: whether it blocks us from action and iteration (paralysis, postponing, pracrastination) or fuels the drive. Unstoppable > fearless.

@FoundersPodcast It’s stronger, but we need both. The negative motivation is necessary to take off, but the love of the end result is necessary to land and keep it. (“What took you here, won’t take you there”)

@hnshah @SiddharthS768 I’d love to read about your top most precious findings, insights and “what works” about life and business, so far.

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@HarounHickman @garrytan Agree. The magic of personalization ends at isolation. But that’s when we talk about creating value for people. It’s a different story for creating „users” and addiction though: so I bet both views are right

@TrajektoriaAI Kojarzę jego nazwisko z jeszcze innej strony: od lat, na stronie https://t.co/2yf0pRcVrv - organizatora konkursów łamigłówkowych i sudoku, Przemysław zawsze gdzieś w top 3 ląduje (tak, czasem go ktoś tam ogrywa). Polecam zadania z konkursu łamigłówkowego, świetny trening myślenia

@ZacharyDash @sama Maybe it’s not a „personal” device, so much? Smart city direction? Also to unlock Sam’s eye-scanner adoption

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@ObserverEffect @sriramk Is this one still available somewhere? 🙏

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@skalskiw Almost! I was thinking about different types of startups' influence on humans. E.g. influential due to engaging us in consumption (tik tok, netflix), vs. due to offline life solutions (airbnb, uber, paypal), etc. Curious how does that connect to models they used / misused

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@david_perell @wminshew Maybe the secret sauce is a satisficing brand with the elements of maximizing, but exactly in the right points of client’s interaction? ( Thinking of Apple and Beyonce brands )

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

Same with human excellence and personal branding. Strengths, values, skills and passions are the ingredients, but the magic happens when we mix them into something that serves others. Not showcasing lemons, serving lemonades.

[Wojtek Skalski @skalskiw]

What do Lego, growth, and the universe have in common?

The magic isn’t in the pieces - it’s in how they’re put together.

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@hnshah More dopamine release from thinking than Netflix - not the worst setup!

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

@coopernicus01 @businessbarista excellent article on this: https://t.co/89Enqyd1Wr

#3 #Individualization - good at cooperating with people, attentive during interviews and then this story on getting funding from Peter Thiel

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

A chemistry Noble Prize for a programmer who said: "there are only 2 subjects worth studying: physics and neuroscience".
He's also the CEO and co-founder of Google DeepMind.
Talk about innovation happening at the intersection of disciplines. My guess of his top 3 talents 👇🏻

[Monika Starzyk @stmonika]

#1 Strategic - He became a master chess player at 12 - no more data necessary. You'll also hear him speaking a lot about future consequences of taking next steps.
#2 Ideation - Hear him speaking a lot about connecting the dots in an innovative way. Curiosity and joy of discovery.
