Pessimism feels like the easy path: a quick reaction to life’s uncertainties and a defense against disappointment. We find comfort in it, and pessimists may aim to appear smarter. The reality is, it limits our view of the possible horizons. True intelligence lies in optimism.

Not so long ago, we saw AI as our “co‑pilot,” meaning AI would fix the errors we humans make. Actually, we got it backwards: we are the AI’s co‑pilot. Our job is to fix the AI’s mistakes. The good news? We still have jobs!.

Brilliant. Must-read.
S. Korea spent $200b trying to increase its birthrate. Hungary spends 5% of GDP. Both are failing. Yet the small country of Georgia spiked its birthrate massively without spending a dollar. How?. They understood that fertility isn't about money. It's about status.

Just read an investor update by a CEO who included sound bites of convos with potential customers - giving 'real' (& positive) market feedback on a new product. Smart way to showcase progress and get investors' attention!.
