there is almost zero point to complaining about virtually anything.
you either change your perspective on the thing, you leave the thing, or you simply accept it.
complaining is usually just the least useful fourth option & high cognitive load to boot.

Institutions are inefficient.
Experts are overrated.
Capital should flow toward builders.
Technology compounds.
Independent thinking wins.

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want.

Starlink is providing Internet connectivity to schools and hospitals in Africa that had nothing or very expensive and bad connectivity before.
This will do more to lift people out of poverty than all the NGOs combined.
NEWS: SpaceX's @Starlink has reached a new milestone in Kenya, recording 19,460 active users as of September 2025, marking the satellite provider’s highest subscriber count since entering the Kenyan market.

When people think of the “Big One” in California, they imagine a catastrophic earthquake.
But the real Big One will be a megaflood, that could cause over $1 trillion in damage and become the worst natural disaster in world history... (thread) 🧵
Very well said.
I’m constantly surprised by the number of people who have zero ability to think about trade offs when discussing politics.
Politics, like life, is all about the incremental progress that lies in compromise. Progress then compounds.
So many people are stuck in a rut of “all or none”. It’s a self made prison.

My favorite part of the speech too.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Trump takes a blow torch to the neocons and interventionists while speaking to the Saudis. This is a VICTORY speech over globalism.
"It's crucial for the wider world to know this great transformation has not come from Western interventionists, or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs."
"In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves."
"No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called 'nation builders,' neocons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Baghdad, so many other cities."
"Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way."
"They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly."
"You achieved a modern miracle the Arabian way."
No wonder they respect him so much.

This is one of the great business leaders leading in real time unscripted on the topic of work from home. He is entirely right.
We can all learn from him. A must listen.
The year is 2025 and what me, a real human, really wants is an AI agent to block other AI agents trying to sell me stuff!
