Stranger Things is one of the most successful shows ever, sparking a massive 80s nostalgia binge - the merchandise is now sold at amusement parks. Squid Game was such a cultural phenomenon that it's all anyone could talk about for a month after it came out, and Mr Beasts remake

“Discipline is not a lack of freedom, it is a harmonious relationship with time.” - Rick Rubin

only way to resolve this - and enrich (rather than recycle) culture - is to refactor the full stack of storytelling so it is less risky to try new things

great example of early and very creative consumer AI explorations, where novelty precedes utility (and fun to watch @fabiankamberi and Slay team build…)

on the unexpected weight of accolades

caution and incrementalism incur a longer term cost that companies are notoriously bad at anticipating and avoiding. short-term incentives always favor quick and safe small wins. when you fail to think bigger sooner, you’ll pay a bigger price later.

The Dartmouth Scar Experiment (via @SahilBloom newsletter) is a study that showcases the default "victim mentality" many of us have...good reminder to avoid wasting too much energy on perceived obstacles we can't influence and focus on what we can control. https://t.co/dgWvLs9AMh

So much of humanity has been all about "HOW to do" something (aka skill development). Our educational system, product onboardings - and entire categories of products, were all about teaching us how. Now it feels like we're entering an era of humanity all about "WHAT to do" (as

are writing and coding collapsing into each other? as any sentence can be interpreted and expressed as a sequence of actions, and code can be edited with intent vs skills, pretty fun implications to just start writing and end up creating something you never imagined.

Alright guys! Speak soon, don’t do anything crazy without me.

NEW ⚡️ Reuters: Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei warned Hezbollah's Nasrallah to flee Lebanon days before Israel killed him and is now concerned about Israeli infiltration in Tehran’s senior government ranks. https://t.co/gCFldmo61A

observed: pursuing an edge that ultimately becomes the center (as a builder or investor) is a curiosity-driven discipline, the urge for quick wins / traction / validation won’t get you there. your innate curiousity must overwhelm the ambiguity and uncertainty long enough…

The philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy wrote on X, “I keep reading everywhere that Lebanon is 'on the brink of collapse.' No. It is on the brink of relief and deliverance.” Moments like this come once in a generation, if they even come at all. The Middle East is too often a solid

are there any excellent examples of agent-driven onboarding and first mile experiences? agent-driven adoption and success of existing products may be an even bigger (and certainly near-term better) opportunity than new AI-first products.
