Obsessed and focused

If you even slightly entertain the thought of failure, you give your mind a chance to start noticing reasons to fail. But if the only option on your mind is to win, then the world seems to conspire in your favor, because your mind will notice opportunities it wouldn't have before. Become delusionally optimistic, not because it's realistic, but because it's effective. It drastically increases your chances of success.

@elonmusk what are the odds that the reason there hasn’t been any new fashion in the last ~30 years is because everyone is fat and unhealthy and couldn’t fit into the clothes if we made them?

[Kief @TheRealKief]

@mhp_guy Absolutely goated. Just went to American Fork Maceys and got a mama cone.

@NoahRyanCo Not a book, but this quote.

[Kief @TheRealKief]

This hit me so hard.

[Kief @TheRealKief]

Not working on anything, not building anything, not improving anything, will make you stressed and anxious.

With how fast ai is changing I feel like I’m new to ai everyday. It’s kind of awesome.

I see so many posts and videos about “game theory” and I’ve never read/watched any of them.

Is it worth learning?

[Kief @TheRealKief]

Absolutely wild fight from Royval and Kavanagh. I thought Kavanagh had it in the second round!

Congrats @brandonroyval on a big win! #getpaid

@elonmusk @finkd @Scobleizer Does Zuck owe you a coke?

“Mormons turned a swamp into a metropolis. Then they turned a desert into an empire. It’s the most American story.”

Their religious beliefs take them to Missouri. Neighbors learn they are anti-slavery and violently drive them out.

They go to Illinois and turn a swamp into a city that rivals Chicago. Only to have violent mobs run them out.

They walk toward Utah. Hoping to find a safe place to gather.

Jim Bridger mocks them. He bets $1,000 they can’t grow crops in Utah. They continue anyway.

The Utah soil is so hard it breaks their plows. So they engineer a way to water a desert.

Their crops grow. Salt Lake City sprawls. They expand. Latter-day Saints settle 500 towns across the West. A network of farms, commerce, and faith.

Their women become the first women to vote. They elect America’s first female state senator.

Their women organize themselves. With very little training, they create a system that lowers infant mortality to among the lowest rates in the country.

When the Depression hits, Latter-day Saints implement the most effective welfare program in the country. Decades later, Ronald Reagan studies it and calls it a model for the country. Its impact is seen today as Utah has the lowest usage of federal food assistance in the country.

The pursuit of knowledge and science becomes a hallmark. They start universities. They send their smartest men and women back east to learn the latest ideas and bring them back.

They are innovative. Technology that changes the world emerges from their culture. The television. The artificial heart. The weapons that won WWII. The beginnings of the internet.

The work ethic and cooperation that propelled them to develop the American West continues today. Their outsized influence on the world is famous.

They know religious persecution better than most. So they champion religious freedom for all, even those they disagree with.

Sociologists are obsessed with their outcomes. A Princeton researcher studied teens in America. She concluded that “Mormon teens are faring best.” Harvard data recently found that kids who grow up in Latter-day Saint homes are the most likely to say they feel loved by both parents. Other national studies consistently find them to be the happiest people in the country.

Gallup finds they are the most observant Christians in the country, a dedication to their faith that is unrivaled. Pew Research finds they know many Bible stories better than any other Christians.

A swamp became a metropolis. A desert became an empire. A persecuted people became the happiest in America. That’s the most American story ever told.

Claude cowork is insane. I have cowork set up to:

1. search the internet for job postings based on my own criteria that I set

2. Once it finds a match, put the title, short description and application link in a sheet

3. Read from a "super resume" I made that has all my work experience and then create a custom resume for that job description

4. Save it as a word doc and update the sheet from before with the name of the doc.

Then I just go, click on the application link, and apply with the custom resume that claude made me.

Claude does this for me twice a day so I can stay up to date on job listings.

We really need to bring trains to the US at scale.

Does this mean FSD unsupervised is coming soon?

𝕏 really just needs to step up its search algo to be perfect.

There is so much great content, articles and videos, on 𝕏 that doesn’t exist anywhere else on the internet that I’m going here first when I need to learn something.

If it were easier to find exactly what I was looking for I wouldn’t have to go to YouTube or blog posts at all anymore.

@danielgothits I did this exact thing with Carhartt classic shirts. These shirts last forever.

@JacobCEdmunds Just send him this

You can only measure how much you want something by what you’re willing to give up to get it.

And it turns out, most people want feeling smart, feeling comfortable, and feeling accepted more than winning.

[Kief @TheRealKief]

@elonmusk Is the dirt that is excavated used to create the concrete?

[Kief @TheRealKief]

@AlexHormozi It would be awesome if you would bring Cal Newport on to interview him.
