Good screen for high-quality, enduring thinking:
Does the thinker *obsessively* love and pursue truth?
Above their ego? Above what they *want* to be true?
Are they intrinsically motivated by understanding reality *as it really is*, or do they prioritize other things?
Timeless principles for the win. Thanks @EricMarkowitz. Killer journey you've been on. Looking forward to the book.
Not one of the world’s oldest companies set out to last 400 years. They set out to make something of quality, and that’s what endures. @EricMarkowitz talks with @johncandeto about his forthcoming book Outlast.

An outstanding example of first principles reasoning and aggressive building. Great conversation and mission-critical for progress. Thanks @l85m.

This was outstanding. @andrewfarah has so many wonderful ideas on how AI is amplifying humans as "ambition machines" and how to personally benefit. I am grateful he is willing to share so much in public.

Freedom and choice are fundamental to achieving the best outcomes. Rooting for @Primer and all others supporting freedom and creating high-quality choices for education.
30 years ago my mom founded one of the first microschools in Florida.
Gov. @JebBush fought the early, contrarian battles to unlock that education for our family and millions of others.
Quite a full-circle moment to sit down and discuss the state of US K-12 together:
Gone were the movies of Jamie Lee Curtis seducing Charlie Munger into buying internet stocks and Warren Buffett caddying for Tiger Woods. Gone was the consumption of Cherry Coke and Peanut Brittle (though both products were on the dais in their honor). Gone were the voluminous questions from eager youngsters asking for life advice.
Well said.
Well-worth a read.
"The middle is still where the complications live, where the position is ambiguous and the thing no one modeled happens and you have to play the board as it is."
We are now living through a dramatic collapse in the cost to get decent answers to complex questions.

"The best human work is the work that only humans can do: work that is relational, and work that is creative. Everything that is not connection, creation, or curation (and their required ingredients e.g. character, wisdom, judgement) will eventually recede into the background."
