You're taking the "strangeness of being alive" for granted:
– 80,000 years ago, only ~8,000 humans survived on the planet — you descended from every bottleneck that came before
– 70,000 generations of people had to meet, connect, and have children just for you to exist
– Most people never pause to feel how unlikely (and how fragile) that is
– Don't wait for a near-death experience to notice it
– Next time you walk the dog, stop and feel it, it can be gone tomorrow

Scott Bessent helped George Soros make roughly $3.5 billion on the Abenomics trade from 2012 to 2015 - but says the real edge in macro investing is much simpler: “we study history, we observe the present, and try to imagine the future”
this is him explaining why macro isn’t really about predicting every economic number. Bessent looks for regime changes, policy mistakes and situations where the market is pricing one outcome while the range of possible outcomes is much wider
Bessent says he doesn’t even use a Bloomberg terminal and instead looks through around 270 charts every night - searching for anomalies, things that are changing, or something in the market that simply looks unsustainable

Sean Strickland explains why he believes women shouldn't have the right to vote:
"I'm not saying women are stupid. I think the highest IQ right now is a woman. Women are far too compassionate to rule a functioning society.
Women will never accept that there are a bunch of f*cking bad people on this planet, you cannot help them. The only path for them is either execution or permanent incarceration.
For some reason women just cannot grasp that concept."

You have to think critically when you read this crap. What did Sylvia expect to do between the time when her husband left and he returned?? Idk what she did but I read Homer and make drawings and play with my adorable children. I think these women think they’re “too smart” for motherhood and being a SAHM when really in fact they’re too dumb and boring for it. They think they’d be more stimulated at an email job doing SOPs for projects that are mind numbingly boring? Please. Feminism is nothing more than the most privileged women on earth complaining about it.
Stanley Druckenmiller:
“Life goes in streaks. And like a hitter in baseball, sometimes a money manager is seeing the ball and sometimes they're not.”
When investors are down, they tend to get aggressive to win it back. Druckenmiller: “One of my most important jobs as a money manager was to understand whether I was hot or cold...”
“In my opinion, when you're cold, you should be trying for bunts.”
