In Kierkegaard's Works of Love, he explains that, much like how prayer is meant to change the heart of the one who prays, the task of love is not to find someone worthy of love, but to build the capacity for it in oneself

A lot of unmarried people look at the happiest marriages and think “how can I find someone who is so worth committing to?” You can’t, and it’s not even the right question to ask. The right question is “how can I be someone worth committing to?” and then just do that every day.

Four years ago, Fernando Mendoza was your normal Cal nerd getting lost on the UC Berkeley campus on his first day. Now he's a Heisman Trophy winner, a national champion, and the presumed number one draft pick. Sky's the limit for a California Golden Bear.

Big News: US law will grant accredited investor status to investors passing a test 🎓 • The House just passed The Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2023, 383 to 18, as bill goes to Senate • This will close the gap from 2020 which requires a license "in good standing"
The 'Accredited Investor' legal standard has 13 different categories, and they're not all about wealth standards. For example, the accredited investor standard includes officers, directors, certain securities brokers qualify if they hold professional certification, designation, or credentials in good standing from an accredited institution that the SEC has designated as sufficient to demonstrate his or her investment knowledge, which initially consists of Series 7, 65, or 82 exam, but may be expanded in the future to encompass other exams or certifications as sufficient by order if the designations satisfy specified criteria; also, when a fund issues LP interests, knowledgeable employees of such fund qualify, such as an individual who is a "knowledgeable employee" of the private fund issuer of the securities being offered or sold.

Huge boost today from Congress for access to private markets. ICYMI, in addition to avoiding debt ceiling Armageddon the House just passed bipartisan measures to expand access to private markets via the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act. This is a big deal for startups and investors. Under the bill, the SEC will develop a test for financial sophistication and FINRA will be responsible for administering the test (for free). You might think this is similar to the Series 65 expansion, but it’s way better. Series 65 is expensive and many people didn’t know that even if you pass the 65, you still technically had to be attached to a RIA to be considered accredited. The bill still has to pass the Senate but it’s great to see these efforts despite the current regulatory environment.
