Do not trust millenials to run your brand. Their vision of the way the internet works was informed by the Web 2.0 Facebook ca. 2011 Instagram vintage filters era and their priors have not been updated since. The internet is no longer deterministic. It's algorithm-driven, and.

I don't believe any AI writing SaaS that claims to "make you go viral on autopilot.". If I could go viral consistently, it'd be worth $100K+ a month to me. But you're somehow charging $19.99?. The pricing tells me everything I need to know about the value.

you're worried what you have to say is irrelevant, which then banishes you to irrelevance.

by the way most people who don't work hard are also not true to themselves. so. there's that.

I love posting bad takes and being wrong in public. I inevitably learn something and get better. We salute those who are about to dunk.

Working too hard is in fact a top regret of the dying, right behind living inauthentically. End of life regrets typically center around unmet ideals (loyalty, trueness to oneself), not outcomes (money, status).

writing is an infinite game. language is always changing. AI will never replace writers because writers are always chasing the amorphous edge of human consciousness. anything replicable will read as slop, so by definition backward-trained AI tools will perpetually be behind

this question would instantly turn me into an NPC. "what exciting things are you working on" is an incantation crafted by venture capitalists to turn a human being into a CRM entry.

i've started to think of everything in mr beast challenge terms. "can this man stay at his soul-crushing job for $200k". "will this family survive moving to miami and leaving their friends to save on taxes?". "this father will spend 4 hours with his in-laws for free childcare".

i've now been awoken at 4am two days in a row by thumping bass from a pop-up afters club that emits a constant stream of ketamine zombies onto the sidewalk and i can feel the conservatism taking over my body.

resurrect rites of passage. bring back hard trials and initiations. celebrate ostentation. exuberate lavishly. embrace pomp, ceremony, and formality. revive a casualized culture parched by nonchalance. speak meaningful words. render status legible. choreograph spectacle. attach.

it's called nextgen because the next generation will be born before you get to your destination.

distribution isn't rocket science. it's ego-humiliation.

I'm going to need a chicken sandwich and some waffle fries. for free.

thinking about how much money is spent on content no one watches. blackrock is the largest asset manager in the world. they're rumored to spend $1m+ a year on youtube, and generating a whopping 114 views on videos

last night we were out to dinner and i put my daughter on my head and squiggled around for a few minutes and she was cackling and our table neighbors were also laughing because it was so silly and joyous. anyway i am now immune to haters on the internet.

your kids will be imperfect. thinking you can raise perfect kids is a brain disease. you'll never be "ready" to do it. nothing can prepare you. don't overthink it. make babies.
