@pelositracker Same trade every time:
AI infra + Big Tech scale.

IREN = compute & power
GOOGL / META = AI platforms + data
NFLX = cash-flow machine with optional AI upside

Not subtle. Just following where the margins are going.

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ @acagamic Thanks for this

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ @acagamic Nice wrap up 🤠

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Most people think a PhD is about intelligence.
It’s not.

A PhD is about learning how to work under persistent uncertainty ↓

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ For me it was mentorship actually, since my mentor was overseas and we only connect over Zoom

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

Awesome. I was always doing the wrong way 😭

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Most PhD students read papers the wrong way.
That’s why it feels slow, exhausting, and unproductive ↓

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

I assume if your motivation is strong then you can achieve anything.

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Why the PhD feels harder than it looks (and why that’s not a flaw)

Most people think a PhD is hard because it’s intellectually demanding.
That’s only part of the story.

The real difficulty is structural.

↓

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Most people misunderstand why the PhD feels so draining.

This thread explains the structural reason ↓

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ I think representation is more dominant

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

Interesting and We'll educated thread. Highly recommended.

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

A lot of today’s discussions around publishing, impact factors, and PhD stress come from things academia never explains upfront.

That’s why I share what I wish I’d been told earlier ⬇️

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ Yeah, sadly enough but still true.

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ @mcneiilly Very rightly said. In the end, it's all about motivation or priority

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

@mcneiilly That hesitation is healthy. A PhD makes sense if you want to train in uncertainty and deep problem-solving; industry makes sense if you want faster feedback and applied impact. You don’t need to decide forever; only for the next few years.

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ @MarioNawfal @elonmusk I can some light there 😜

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ Practical insights are exactly what's missing in most departmental orientations. Following for the reality checks!

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Most PhD advice focuses on what to do.

Almost none explains what uncertainty feels like, and how to work inside it without burning out.

That gap is where most researchers struggle.

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

What slows people down isn��t volume.
It’s rereading without a purpose and hoping clarity appears.

It doesn’t.

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Skim order that saves time:
1.Abstract
2.Figures/tables
3.Conclusion
4.Methods (only if relevant)
5.Intro (last)

Full reads are rare. That’s normal.

[Tasawar Iqbal @TasawarMQ]

Most of the stress isn’t from the work itself.
It’s from waiting.

Waiting for reviews.
Waiting for funding decisions.
Waiting for contracts.
Waiting for clarity that never fully comes.

You’re expected to plan years ahead in a system that only reveals outcomes months later.

That mismatch is what wears people down.

[Muhammad Ramzan @sub_ramzan]

@TasawarMQ @elonmusk Probably 🧐
