Frequent announcements are good because they force people to ask themselves if they really want to be a part of a community or not.
Good for community builders and community members.

My investment thesis if I ran a fund would be based the quality of shitposts by a founder. Iโd also make hiring decisions based on shitpost quality. It just seems to be so high signal.
I've decided to take the contrarian side on sex bots. I think they'll be a good thing for helping intimacy and connection. We're currently at the peak of a bell curve, where porn is the substitute and it's the worst. What came before and what comes after will be the much better and healthier.
Society is set up so that men get validation from sexual conquest in the way women (historically) got validation from I guess not being conquested lol. The sexual revolution helped women but not men. It's ok for women to have sex, but not, it's ok for men to not have sex. Men don't get validation and there's a lot of pressure from subconscious signals that makes this hard to ignore. The closest men got is the "keep your head up king" memes.
With sex bots, men will get their sexual validation and thus should make connecting with women easier since there isn't this underlying insecurity driving most of the interactions. So a lot more spontaneous conversations irl that lead to meaningful connections and relationships.

Idc if it means weโre all going to hell. Keep the internet free ๐ญ
A small detail I appreciated on leadership. Small gestures are memorable. The details matter.

Think this is very useful in this channel also
How meetings looked at Los Alamos. The greatest minds in physics assembled in one place. Matches the findings in: https://hbr.org/2012/04/the-new-science-of-building-great-teams
Actually we prefer the term Idea Guys
Excellent thread ๐งต
Had to cross post here. Let us come together in mourning ๐ญ
As someone who loves French fries, itโs never been more over for me.
I donโt think weโre appreciating how incredible it is to get updates like this live. From someone who is genuinely engaging with everyone here and not just casually cross posting. Come for the updates and stay for the top tier shitposting.
My man's is 2 for 2 with the banger casts.
Joachimsthaler is the name of the silver coins that were minted from the Joachimsthal mine. This name was shortened to Thaler, which would become "dollar" in English. This same mine is where uranium was discovered. There's something profound about the dollar and nukes being linked from before even their birth.
@frdysk.eth credit goes to you and โpuzzleโ totally stole it. That being said. Get good scrub ๐ค
Leave no trace ๐คซ
Hard to put into words how proud of this I am
Can we pls not trash any new tokens until I make sure Iโve gotten my airdrop and sold to willing buyers at fair market value

- Government doesn't decide the winners. It can amplify at best, but even then not by much. You're better off ignoring them and focusing on the market. It's like skating to where the puck is going to be. Regulation will follow...eventually. Government intervention did nothing to bring back US to forefront of chip making over Japan. Market innovation by entrepreneurs at Micron and Intel were what brought US back.
- To reiterate, the world is tiny at the mountain top. Go where talent is accumulating.
- The MBA class are not optimists. MBA types replacing PHDs/builders in S.V. shows this. They value risk management taking importance over innovation and risk taking. Changโs successor at TSMC wanted to reduce capacity during 2008 economic crises, Chang fired and took over because he saw the beginning of mobile era and the need to maintain dominance. Intel didnโt have this and their MBAs focused on maintaining margins vs taking the margin hit to build for Appleโs iPhone. Pivoted too late.

This is the best time to start a company if you're trying to make an impact on the world.
This book is changing how I'm looking at the bear market, and the companies building in these times. These are the companies that win in the end because they have a higher level of competition. The bar to clear is higher.
If you're working on a company right now, your odds of success in the long run is higher. You won't have the vanity metrics of those that build when the market goes up, but those companies will get steamrolled by those building now.
It's much more obvious looking back then in the moment, but building during the bear is a competitive advantage, and something to be grateful for. Don't shy away from it. Dig in. This is the hyperbolic time chamber. You're getting better faster. Time will show but these are the ideal conditions.
