Archetypes are one of the most profound Psychological concepts that I frequently see myself revisiting and reflecting upon. I highly recommend you read this thoroughly and bookmark it for your future reflection and self-introspection sessions.

The question the video 📽️ leaves you with: "What kind of star will I be for the ones still walking?" 🤔💭✨ It echoes the Quranic image of stars placed so people can find their way in the darkness (6:97) The ones who went before become guidance, and so, eventually, do you...🍃

Demographic collapse is now inevitable in most countries. Families that optimize for child-rearing now will build the cultures of the future. Fertility collapse demands new cultures... new civilizational paradigms.

Jensen Huang just went to Kazakhstan and gave a masterclass on the next decade of AI. He told a room full of builders that everything starts with one thing. (Read until the end to find out). Thanks to @balajis and his @ns, I was able to attend the entire fireside chat. Here are 10 lessons from the conversation that every founder, parent, and leader should hear: 🧵 2️⃣ Ambition is the prerequisite. When asked how to win in AI, how to raise smarter kids, how to build great companies, Jensen gave the same answer every time: "It's all about ambition." Skills can be learned. Ambition has to be instilled. 3️⃣ Own your intelligence. You want to control your own data, not import everyone else's. Countries built their own electricity grids. In the future, they will build their own intelligence grids. 4️⃣ Start with what's free, then make it yours. His advice to a nation rich in math and science talent: take open source models and customize them. You don't need to build from zero to build something that's yours. 5️⃣ AI is about to get physical. It starts with cognitive intelligence and becomes physical: seismic understanding, mine mapping, materials science, chemical synthesis. Just like we'll have AGI, we'll have Artificial General Robotics. We're at the very beginning. 6️⃣ Your "boring" assets might be your biggest edge. Kazakhstan has land and energy. Jensen says that makes it a future compute center for all of Europe. Look at what you already have before chasing what you don't. 7️⃣ Invest in people, not companies. Nvidia just invested in Higgsfield, Kazakhstan's first AI unicorn. Average age: 25. Jensen's reasoning: competitors are fierce and well funded, but these founders are the best people. Bet on the jockey. 8️⃣ Build safety in from day one. AI agents are like a self driving car inside your computer. Contain them so their access is limited to exactly what they need. Trust is a feature, not an afterthought. 9️⃣ The best is still ahead. After decades in tech, Jensen says he's more excited about AI today than he was last year. Agentic systems can now work longer and better across countless fields. 🔟 If he were 18 today? "I envy you. The world is resetting with AI." He'd dedicate himself to becoming the world's best AI programmer. You need technical skills AND usage skills. A great race car driver understands the car. The takeaway: 📌 1️⃣ The tools are available to everyone. The difference will be who has the ambition to use them. Dream bigger. Build bolder. The reset is happening now!

How it feels to finally reach Friday... 🍃 😮‍💨

Making an experimental film 📽️ about Khalid ibn Al Walid (AS). It's finally viable to make a near-Hollywood grade film for thousands of dollars as opposed to millions of dollars 💵. 🤲🏻

The man in the arena. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

May God bless him and all those who are noble and kind... 🍃

A nation on the right track compares itself to the west in terms of scientific progress and hard industrialization. A nation losing its track compares itself to the west in terms of music and arts. We will continue to exist as the lowest of the low as long as we don't change.
