Let’s bring wonder back. Stop trying to figure everything out. Let yourself be moved. The cynics are stealing your miracles and your happiness too. Life is an experience not an exam. Nothing became something and that something is you. Isn’t that amazing?!.

What’s the best city?.Who has the best food?.Which place has the most opportunities?. Where I live. What I’m eating. And opportunity is everywhere. Fuck you and your controlling narrative. Learn to be where you are and stop dragging others into your misery.

100 years from now historians will mark the day Taylor Swift announces she’s pregnant as the day humanity was saved from its own demise.

My dream passion project. Grandma’s Couch—eat at grandma’s houses. Membership only. Keep the barrier extremely high to protect our most vulnerable and precious. Requirements to give back. The works. Grandma’s are lonely. So are we. Let’s fix it.

Today was my oldest first day at Montessori. My wife and I had been agonizing over leaving him. How would he react? How can we help him feel comfortable? Is he going to miss us too much? And when he got there he just ran towards the play area and never looked back. Onward.

A reminder that Greg Glassman said this in 2002.
Lifting weights isn't vanity, it’s life insurance. Strength training cuts risks of all‑cause death by ~17%.

The health of economy is dependent on the unhealthiness of our people. Our economy's health is measured by GDP— employment its key driver. In America, healthcare makes up 14% of our services jobs. With an aging population, this gets worse before it gets better.

Finished it. The summary:. Write sentences worth rereading.
Ordered several short sentences and I'm 30 pages in. Best description thus far? . It feels like you're reading downhill. As if there is a force just pushing me to keep going —to see what's on the other side.

My promise to you is that when I figure out what I want to use X for, I’ll focus. For now, it’s my thought-refining mechanism so God bless you for having to deal with the variety. I find a lot of things interesting.

Imagine if your accountant knew computer programming. You think they would have a complicated maze of spreadsheets held together w/ vlookups?. That is the reality today. The difference in high performers went from 10x to 1000x. Raising your standards is now existential.

AI can’t be trusted to be an independent contributor in your finance org—yet. But it is ready to hyper-charge workflows. I spent time teaching them enough about SQL, Scripts and XML so they know new (more efficient ways) to solve their problems. Sprinkled in a vibe coded vendor.
Imagine you hire an analyst who works 100x faster than anyone else. They never sleep, never complain, and can handle anything from variance analysis to summarising a 10-K. One problem: 10% of the time, they just make stuff up. Not a mistake. Not a typo. They fabricate a.

When I finish a book, I like to envision a poster that captures it's essence. In a way, the visualization helps me remember what I read and the exercise is fun too. Thought I'd try it based on the latest book I finished using AI. Here you go.

Why is there no Kindle equivalent for writing? Or is repurposing an old laptop the only solution?. Would be cool to have a computer made for the sole purpose of writing. No browsing. A keyboard with keys that feel good to type in. Built in editors with diff tones. The works.

I meditated for 500 days with marginal benefits in my life. I’ve been praying for 30 days and feel like the seas have parted.

The issue isn’t the interest but rather how amortization is calculated. Everyone knows that you will refi within 10 years so the interest is front loaded (also explains why the 10Yr T drives rates). Alternative financial products are needed to fix this.
This is going to blow your mind. “Me and my wife went and did the pre approval process for a mortgage loan yesterday and what the f*ck are you talking about”. “We're looking at the numbers, looking at our income, looking at our credit, and they have us at $450,000 — They have our
