Often think about this Lee Kuan Yew quote:. "Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him, or give it up. This is not a game of cards, this is my life, and your life.".

Science has long wondered how a 2 year old boy would feel if you put him in the right seat of a Caterham. After years of inquiry we finally have an answer

as always, JC is an inspiration.
If your A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got a C and two Us and here I am today, installing lights for a helicopter landing pad in my garden.

honestly, all the PR can go out the window, this is the most based thing the Zuck has done.
I can’t imagine the horrors happening inside a private home school that violated Palo Alto city code. God forbid they were learning calculus. Pray for these children.

if we’re not careful, we’ll repeat our 90’s China trade mistakes with India and regret it in 25 years.

The bulk of the world's intellectual talent lies within this green oval. If America cuts ourselves off from that talent, we are part of the global periphery.

“Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command.”.1 Chronicles 12:32 ESV.
Insane life hack is being humble and smart enough to discern who’s worth listening to. Obviously no human is always right, so be judicious, but listening to wise guys eliminates much work. @naval, @douglaswils, @JoshuaSteinman, @realErikDPrince are a few of these guys for me.

If you can’t say this with full confidence, your assets outgrew your ability long before it was too much for your descendants.
When I die, every cent and asset I own will go to my wife, children, or grandchildren. I trust them to use it for good and godly purposes, especially in caring for our family and extended family long after I am in heaven.

all of this just flat equals home price inflation bolstered by the taxpayer’s guarantee. not a free market problem.

specific examples of this are: federalizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, FHA govt guaranteed loans, USDA govt guaranteed loans (no one can afford farmland anymore), SBA also plays a part, and critically, the fact that big banks know that the govt will bail them out if they ever.

Good post, and very thought provoking. However, one of the main causes is govt intervention in the market - the 2008 bailouts created a subsidized market, and you’d be an idiotic institutional investor to not take advantage of it. But yeah - as with every overinflated market.
Sensitive young men will be like “socialism sucks! Trust free markets!”. And then find out free markets are allowing private equity to create a permanent underclass by buying up 20% of American single family homes and counting.

best version I’ve seen 👌.
The History of America in 4 Stages:. 1) Nicotine men create good times. 2) Good times create weed boys. 3) Weed boys create hard times. 4) Hard times create nicotine men.
