@MrGlobal2025 @Soul0Engineer They just need a currency swap line since the Dirham is pegged to the Dollar and they don’t have any petro dollars coming in due to the closure of the Strait. It’s a liquidity problem. Not a solvency one.

UAE went from a 1.4 Trillion dollar investment into America to needing a bailout in a matter of months.

@DavidSacks Smart strategy? After the U.S plunged the entire region into war? Iran now determines what ships get through the strait. The rest of the countries(India, China etc.) are going to negotiate directly with Iran on letting their ships through

This is a smart strategy. Thanks to President Trump, the U.S. is energy independent. The countries that actually depend on Gulf oil should apply pressure to reopen the strait.

a quick opus 4.5 vibecoding tip ask claude to make state machine diagrams of existing components this causes it to map out all paths (which, it will default to being lazy otherwise) but also helps you verify if it's doing things correctly at a systems level

Starting a company is probably the only way to try to escape bullshit jobs: reporting, compliance theater, internal dashboards, meetings to coordinate meetings, process to manage fear, maintaining status hierarchies, liability shields, and managerial control, not producing value.

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LIFE. FIND A JOB YOU ACTUALLY LOVE. I PROMISE IT IS POSSIBLE. EVEN FOR YOU. HAVE A HOBBY. TAKE A CLASS. GO TO THE GYM. TALK TO SOMEONE!! GIVE A COMPLIMENT. MAKE A PLAN. LEARN SOMETHING. SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER. BE SO CONSUMED WITH LIVING THAT YOU REMEMBER YOU ARE ALIVE. You are alive. You are alive. Now go build a life.

This is a do or die year ngl the whole trajectory of my life depends on this year

this is forever one of my favorite quotes because 95% of people will never understand the divine potential they have within if they just dare JUMP INTO THE FUCKING VOID. everything you have ever dreamed of times ten is on the other side of the work you are avoiding. the development you know you need. the habits you need to implement. the virtues and principles you know in your heart you need to EMBODY. the truth is that you are exactly where you deserve to be. because everything you've ever done, every decision you have ever made, everything you have ever prioritized, have painted the painting that is your life today. if you want to get better, you need to earn the skin of a new identity. and it is ALL WITHIN YOU RIGHT NOW. all you need to do is make a decision and never look back. every person you have ever looked up to, admired, or respect has done it. NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

Tattoo this to your brain: "The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.” – Marc Andreessen

Craziest part about finally "doing the work" Is that you realize it was easier to simply do the work than it was to feel bad about procrastinating 24/7 and live with the excuses You literally put more effort into avoiding success than the success would have taken Crazy

Master these 10 habits in 2026. Feel amazing, reclaim agency + self-respect. 1. final food 4 hr before bed 2. screens off 30 min before bed 3. avoid blue light 2hr before bed, use red/amber 4. book in hand 10 min before sleep 5. go to bed same time every night 6. light in eyes when waking (sun or 10k lux) 7. walk for 10 min immediately following eating 8. daily exercise (even if for 20 min) 9. eat good stuff, ditch the junk 10. foster friends, family and love They read as simple. I promise they'll change your life. Make them non-negotiate life habits. Do them every_single_day. Once you establish the habits, it is very easy to maintain. Stick with it for two weeks and start getting the dividends.

The smallest unit of agency is a deliberate deviation from your default trajectory, in service of a self-endorsed goal, despite internal or external friction.

Nothing will burn you out more than constantly thinking about your life. Am I on the right path, am I in the right environment, am I doing the right things. Insert the dozens of other background loops that remain in flux Has less to do with your level of physical exertion, more with how many decisions remain uncommitted to. Could hypothetically be going hard all day but you're in your element, it'd still exhaust you less than cutting your hours in half but with no conviction in anything you do Money is not the issue. Nothing tangible is the issue. Yet. First order of business is to simply muster up the courage to make a decision. Doesn't have to be permanent, doesn't mean you're stuck with it forever, just has to be chosen in accordance with your heart

not enough people are emotionally prepared for if it’s not a bubble

The devil doesn’t rob you, he tempts you. He buys your dreams for glitter and dust. He has no use for your soul, but by taking his offer, you give yours away. And you have no one to blame but yourself.

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Make God your only boss.

The older I get, the more I realize some people waste their entire lives fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about them. Nobody is thinking about you. Everybody is too busy thinking about themselves. That thing you’ve always wanted to do? Go do it.

Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. That’s for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
