This is the best symbol of civilizational decay: Tim Hortons in China (pictured) is upscale, modern, with great menu options. Tim Hortons in Toronto is a crackhouse that serves barely edible junk.

everyone should try trading seriously because it teaches you the one of the most important skills in life: > accept reality as it is instead of what you would like it to be tradfi/prediction markets/crypto/poker or anything with short feedback loops can work

Can be broadly generalized to most of the problems in the West today: "Government/Institutions SHOULD really fix this"

The problem with Canadian tech ecosystem isn't lack of resources It's the cultural learned helplessness that comes from believing SOMEONE ELSE should solve all the problems "Someone other than me should really fix community capital/resources" No one is coming to save you.

WHO ELSE DROPPING A LAUNCH VIDEO FOR A NEWSLETTER!!!!! I left Substack ~6 months ago to take some time off, shitpost, and think about the next leg of my career. But it was never actually complicated: when I was 11 my friends started a rock band, and they asked me to be their

The 80s, 90s and early 2000s saw a huge exodus of educated elites from China, South Korea, India to the West. It is not a sustainable immigration policy because those countries became places to get rich without needing to go to the West.

Toronto in the late 2000s and 2010s had an insane density of PHR immigrants (poor, hungry, and a strong desire to be rich). I think this is a one time talent glut that is difficult to replicate and should not be attempted to.

Incredible read and the thing that stuck out to me was how much winning Thrive did simply because they were young and hungry. Taking calls at 1am, flying across the country to take a single meeting. Good reminder that hustle and determination will take you far in any industry.

Mentors should show you how to think and approach problems, not tell you what to do. We’re entering the era of maximum entropy. The half life of playbooks and standard paths is trending toward zero.
