you just gotta keep going

A startup doesn't have to be your life's work, but if it is, you become much harder to defeat. You play the long game and you outlast everyone. Because practically everyone else is an opportunist by comparison.

Um vídeo histórico de Ayrton Senna em Mônaco foi restaurado com inteligência artificial e impressiona pela qualidade das imagens. Uma oportunidade de reviver uma das voltas mais icônicas da Fórmula 1 como nunca antes. Você assistiria uma corrida inteira nesse nível?

What happens when you die: They divide up your shit. They summarize your life in 500-1000 words. People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more. Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work. Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words. You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way. Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.

The power of the log scale. #btc is currently worth 14 oz of gold. What if I told you it would one day be worth 1000 ounces... and that it is already 3/4s of the way there....

A couple of reasons: - they can't ban kids of any age unless they require us all to prove how old we are. So this is a backdoor way to introduce digital ID or verification for us all to use the internet, effectively. - this ban will be trivially easy to bypass, but will likely drive kids to use far less safe and less regulated platforms that do not or cannot comply, likely beyond the scope of existing parental controls, and will likely lead to far more harm from dark corners of the deep web than they suffer from Facebook or TikTok

One of the most bullish charts in all of crypto right now is shielded Zcash supply.

Cuadra por cuadra... tardará un poco, pero quedará hermoso.

For me the best way to think about this: snorkel, don’t scuba. Diving too deep is a bit dangerous, and people get lost down there. Take glances at what’s beneath (lots of pretty fish!) from near the surface, and then get back to work. Wherever your motivation comes from (revenge, fear, competition, love of the game, learning, impact) is fine - harness it and get moving. I personally do some journaling (appreciations, write out goals, figure out what I want to get done tomorrow, etc) but then stop procrastinating and get after it.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

It is a great paradox that individually we are simultaneously everything and nothing. Through our own eyes, we are everything--e.g., when we die, the whole world disappears. So to most people (and to other species) dying is the worst thing possible, and it is of paramount importance that we have the best life possible. However, when we look down on ourselves through the eyes of nature we are of absolutely no significance. It is a reality that each one of us is only one of about seven billion of our species alive today and that our species is only one of about ten million species on our planet. Earth is just one of about 100 billion planets in our galaxy, which is just one of about two trillion galaxies in the universe. And our lifetimes are only about 1/3,000 of humanity's existence, which itself is only 1/20,000 of the Earth's existence. In other words, we are unbelievably tiny and short-lived and no matter what we accomplish, our impact will be insignificant. At the same time, we instinctually want to matter and to evolve, and we can matter a tiny bit--and it's all those tiny bits that add up to drive the evolution of the universe. #principleoftheday

this is the stuff every 20 year old needs to hear. not bullshit career advice from people who never took risk to build something real. game from a guy who got pushed out of his own company, cashed out billions, and started building again like nothing happened. different breed.

Naval Ravikant: You should live your life like a lion

Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?" "Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress." Naval explains the difference between stress and anxiety: "Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things." He shares his personal anxiety resolver: "One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?" Naval reframes what "wasted time" really means: "What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for." He concludes: "People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."

The human brain isn’t designed to process all of the world’s breaking emergencies in realtime.
