🙉Summer Beach Walk The beach is cleanI switch to breaststroke, focusing on my form—keeping my head down, my arms moving in a smooth arc, my legs kicking with power. The coach stops by, watching me, and gives me a thumbs up. I nod, encouraged.

Drop what you’re doing. Go to today’s New York Times Opinion section. Sit down in a quiet corner. Start reading: “I Teach at a Business School: It’s Time to Shut Them Down,”by Chris Marquis, Univ. of Cambridge, former HBS professor. BRILLIANT. IRREFUTABLE. LOOOONG OVERDUE.

DTC supplement founders: what's the worst part of working with your co-man? MOQs? Lead times? Buying your own ingredients and chasing COAs? I built and sold a powder co-man (Cascadia Nutrition, acquired 2022). I'm looking at building the next one. Tell me what to fix.

One pitfall many find in using AIs is prompting it as if it IS a conscious, thinking "thing." It's why it's important to be clear about what AIs are. It has no idea what it's talking about ever. Nor about what is in its context window. Forget that and you lose value.

People without virtue assume those with virtue are “virtue signaling.” Their lack of virtue and this response stem from a lack of empathy. It’s narcissistic to not recognize others’ humanity. Society has advanced because of those who see others’ humanity.

The Palantir manifesto and general response to Elons UBI tweet are uncomfortably revealing many would unknowingly, it seems, walk us straight into a techno-fascist dystopian future. America was built to resist that kind of tyranny. Fuck fascists. youtu.be/BR9tfe9B2ac?si=ciIm…

My problem with the peptide guys is they think “third party tested”means safe quality product. Certainly can’t mean that in the current supply context!

Miller’s nationalism keeps us stuck in today but America was built to construct a better tomorrow. His bigotry doesn’t just fail immigrants, it fails America. It’s anti American. The American project was never abt who we are today. It was always abt who we’re becoming together.
A useful way to think about migration is to consider what kind of societies the migrants have built in their home countries and to what extent you would like those conditions replicated here.

A good ops person can run a great Kaizen and leave the team with nothing. The result is real but the continual improvement capability is never transferred. That's the ceiling we talk about today, and I share the scaffold you need to bust right through it. open.substack.com/pub/theshi…

My catholic school upbringing is kicking in to defend the pope
Pope Leo XIV tells Reuters that he plans to continue speaking out against war, and he "does not want to get into a debate with [Trump]," saying that the Christian message is being "abused"

One time a bought an espresso machine for my office. Thought I was pouring doubles but was pouring quads. I learned this in an out of body experience during a meeting following my third for the day. Things were cruising.

Replying to @PatrickHeizer
We shouldn’t have either - it’s unnecessary for a country who can print money at will collect ANY tax. But make sense of this… a 70 year old owns a home today valued at $2M - they bought the home 30 years ago for $50,000, maintained the house for 30 years and finally paid the house off - why should they pay any property taxes much less on an increased value of $2M required in most states? And if you can justify that then you understand you open the door for the state to collect taxes on all property; boats, cars, clothes, art, retirement accounts - everything. You either a communist or you’re confused. Not uncommon for academics …
