I’m convinced 90% of the founders job is to just do 3 things: - be delusional in your optimism - push everyone to move faster - make it crystal clear what to work on

Kinda insane how there are headlines weekly of OpenAI being valued at $800 billion, Anthropic at $380 billion, SpaceX at $1.25 trillion and 99.999% of investors are unable to participate in the upside of the most iconic, generational businesses of our time

I analyzed every coastal town in Italy on a €1M budget. Taxes. Airports. What €1M actually buys you in each location. I cross-checked every detail with two friends on the ground for accuracy and hidden alphas. 10 towns. The definitive guide for FIRE and wealthy nomads eyeing Italy. Thread 🧵

Kindness is peak human performance and high status. Kindness requires metabolic abundance: the capacity to override primal impulses, regulate emotions, and extend empathy. Meanness is dirty energy: high cortisol, inflammation and an exhausted executive function.

In case anyone was wondering, this was the real motive behind today’s press conference. Mayor Mamdani promised a laundry list of “free” giveaways to buy votes, with no plan to pay for them. Now that the math doesn’t work, instead of owning the fact that he misled New Yorkers, he’s blaming me. Let’s be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves. This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis. The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails. “Free” isn’t free. It’s just a bill someone else has to pay.

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Clarity isn’t found in thinking. It’s found in doing. This is why there are so many smart people that never accomplish anything. The world belongs to the people who never let thinking get in the way of doing. Move. Fail. Adapt. Repeat.

Turkey is panicking, but the entire world should be as well. Nearly 700 sinkholes have been detected, opening up and destroying farmland. There is a severe drought, all of which points to a geophysical event and climate change connected to a geomagnetic excursion. During the desertification of the Sahara around 6,000 years ago, and during the Solovki geomagnetic excursion, there was also an extreme drought. Before 2000, only a handful of sinkholes appeared each decade, but since that time, the acceleration of the magnetic North Pole has made this process more rapid. This is why billionaires are building doomsday bunkers. It is all described in the leaked Pentagon report from 2003.
Open Minded Approach@OMApproach

Observe! The pole shift accelerated to 50 km per year at the exact time the loud “Bloop” was detected deep in the Pacific Ocean near South America and Antarctica. This points to the geophysical event, but there could be something else as well—something ancient.

We just raised $60 million for Blueprint. To bring my longevity protocol to you. Our society has made us unwell…metabolically, mentally, spiritually. We’re addicted. Social media, porn, nicotine, junk food, fast food, smartphones, streaming, energy drinks, and gambling. Each perfectly engineered to keep us in their grip. Years ago, I was owned by these systems. They wrecked me, and my health. I wish there had been someone in my life helping me break free. Blueprint will be that system. Collectively, we will claw our power back. Blueprint will take better care of people than they can themselves. Better than the healthcare system does. Better than our societal norms allow. We will be your home for health. Blueprint will help you feel clear-headed and vibrant. You will become more jacked and beautiful with our presence in your life. There’s nothing better than feeling your best. Some of the world’s most powerful people are backing Blueprint. Talent are pivoting their careers to join our team. They rightly see that Blueprint is in the right place, at the right time, for the global emergence of the new macro trend of health, anti-aging and Don’t Die. In this post I’ll cover: + Who’s investing + What Blueprint will be + Who’s joining + Open positions + How to get early access The next era of human is here. [WHO’S INVESTING] This remarkable group of people are Blueprint investors. They are backing the next great frontier: human longevity. + Akshay Bd + Alex Hormozi + Amanda Cassatt + Andrej Karpathy + Ari Emanuel + Balaji Srinivasan + Bill Lee + Brad Keywell + Brian & Veronica Grazer + Bryan Meehan + Cameron Winklevoss + Carter Reum + Chris Hollod + Dan Manges + Dave Morin + Don Wilson + Drew Houston + Emmett Shear + Eric Demuth + Fareed Adib + Generational Family Office + Jason Fried + Jay Shetty + Joe Gebbia + Joe Lonsdale + John Carmack + Joshua Kushner + Kamal Ravikant + Karim Beguir + Kevin Hartz + Kim Kardashian + Kyle Widrick + Logan Paul + Michael Cao + Michael Kives + Naval Ravikant + NIV + Olaf Carlson-Wee + Paris Hilton + Pippa Lamb + Saquon Barkley + Ken Katz + Seth Bannon + Shayne Coplan + Steve Aoki + Steven Bartlett + Suna Said + Tyler Winklevoss + Winnie Liu + Wojciech Zaremba [TEAM] Defeating death would be humanity’s greatest accomplishment. Big things are happening right now in our small corner of the galaxy. We see the consequence of this moment and are working to positively influence the future of intelligent existence. We believe that product is philosophy and companies can influence the world. Join if you love to work insanely hard and also get eight hours of sleep. Joining our team as CEO is Gyre Renwick. He was previously President of Modern Health and before that an executive at Google Health and Lyft Healthcare. Gyre builds complex health systems into growth engines. In this next chapter, I am doubling down on Blueprint and Don’t Die. I’m all in. Gyre will run the business and I will focus on vision, strategy, and birthing Don’t Die into the world. Blueprint is the practical manifestation of Don’t Die. They are the same thing. I will continue to juggle many full-time jobs: rejuvenation athlete, Blueprint vision, leading the Don’t Die moral philosophy and ideology, building a global community, and content creation. Ultimately, both Blueprint & Don’t Die ladder up to the same thing, answering the question: ‘what does humanity do as we give birth to super intelligence?’. Kate Tolo (co-founder), Gyre, and I will be in lockstep building this mission together. Roles we are filling now: + Chief Technology Officer + Chief Product Officer + Chief Medical Officer + Chief Marketing Officer + Engineers of all types + See all open roles Refer your most talented friends. If you don’t see a job fit, still email us. [BLUEPRINT VISION] We’re making my protocol accessible to everyone. To replicate everything including the measurements, protocols, therapies - and make it easy and accessible for others to do in a community. For your family and friends to do this too. Many think that the world’s most powerful people have their health figured out. The truth is, most everyone is floundering. Luxury concierge services often do little for wealthy people as the biggest gains are not in expensive therapies but daily habits. We will help you build life foundations, starting with the basics and graduating to advanced therapies. Our goal is to be more effective in helping you achieve your health goals than any health system or concierge in the world. Blueprint will build around: + your preferences + your budget + your preexisting conditions + your prior results + your prescriptions + your level of effort It’s health within context. I built Blueprint to solve my own problem. My body and mind were broken, and I didn’t know who to trust to help me fix it. Everyone disagreed with everyone else. I found sanity in gathering a team of doctors and building a protocol based upon robust measurement and scientific evidence. It’s a methodical process that produces better outcomes and results in fewer mistakes and wasted time. After my team and I built a protocol for me, my friends and family asked if they could get access too.  Then their friends and family asked and I said yes again. The circle kept on expanding until we stumbled into Blueprint becoming a company. We will tell you to do less. Most good health can be achieved with very little effort. It’s the systems, infrastructure, knowledge, and piecing through the noise that is hard. Blueprint is Bryan Johnson’s protocol, for everyone. What this will practically mean: + Blood draws + Food delivery + GLP-1s + Rx prescriptions + Free protocols + Toxin testing + At-home tests + Skin care & hair care + Nutrition & supplementation + Advanced therapies And your AI health companion will make it simple. I like to call this my Autonomous Self. In the same way you put in an address and digital navigation tells you the best way to get there, Blueprint is navigation to vibrance. Our goal is to remove the thinking and hassle for you so that you can focus on building durable life habits and achieve the best health of your life. I love thinking about what the future will say about us. When I think from the perspective of those who exist in the year 2500, I think they’ll observe that the 2020s and 2030s was the time when humans figured out that they were the first generation who wouldn’t die. Early access below. What an amazing opportunity. Let’s do this together. Bryan

Underrated life skill: Knowing when to stop. Stop arguing with people who don’t listen. Stop chasing people who run away. Stop forcing relationships that drain you. Stop grinding on things that don’t matter. Stop saying yes when you mean no. Stopping isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.

The benefits of a 72+ hour fast: - my cells cannibalize weak and precancerous cells + heart plaque. Deep autophagy - body eats itself starting with the garbage. - gene expression shifts at 72 hours and body goes into hyper repair mode. This lasts for weeks after. - stem cells in blood stream 5x upon re-feeding. Plus it is hard, spiritual, humbling. Good for a soft guy like me.

From @ericvishria on how the top AI founders are building products completely opposite of the SaaS era: "One of the things that is really different in the AI world versus the SaaS world, is that in the SaaS world, over and over again, you had people who really understood the customer. And the problem. And then they understood a domain. They understood what the technology was more or less capable of. But it wasn't a real question of if you could build something or not. For example, take Salesforce, Workday, and ServiceNow. CRM existed before Salesforce. HR management existed before Workday. Same thing with ServiceNow. So in every case, Salesforce followed Siebel. Workday followed Peoplesoft. ServiceNow followed Peregrine and Remedy, and others. So they were just kind of, cloud SaaS versions of the prior generation product. They just understood the customers. They understood the problem. And they were just like, here's a better version. And that evolved a little bit over time in SaaS land. But that's what it is. And so product development in that way was done by people who really understood the customer and the problems. And then just took advantage of the next wave. And this is almost diametrically opposite of product development in the AI era. When I look at the teams that are having the most success today, they have intimate knowledge of the models. They are right on the frontier of understanding which models are better at what, and why, and when. And what they're going to be good at and what they're not going to be good at. And what they're spending their time on, is figuring out how do I apply this capability of this model to this domain or to this user. So they're actually working inside out or technology out, versus customer problem in. And of course, they understand the customer problem. And a lot of times they have firsthand knowledge of it. But they're really close to the metal and capability, and they're applying it. And I think this is a really different way to develop products than in SaaS. I started my career as a product manager a long time ago, and it's almost the complete opposite of everything you learned. "Listen to the customer, understand it, then bring it back to the engineering and product teams." If you did that right now, ask a bunch of customers what they want out of AI, and you brought it back, for the most part, it may not be possible today with today's technology. Whereas the teams that are winning right now really understand the technology and are applying it out. And so I think this reversal matters. I think it's a big difference in terms of how companies are getting built. And maybe even the types of entrepreneurs that will be successful. I'm not sure. You're seeing some real change there. Look at the Bret Taylor's at Sierra. That's a super, super technical founder who really gets it. Brett and Clay really get it. You look at Michael and his co-founders at Cursor. They're super technical founders and they get it. They all really understand what these things can and can't do. And that's a pretty different dynamic relative to the way the best SaaS companies got built."

@KyleWidrick @altcap @jaltma @Cleerlyhealth Pharma to get apoB below ~60. Then get metabolism in order (gain muscle to store glucose, and diet or diet+pharma to get visceral fat to very low levels) and do a bunch of cardio forever. Should mostly be reversible at this point.

@altcap @jaltma @Cleerlyhealth I am a few years under 40 but that’s what i mean. If i have a 23% stenosis without calcium the time to fix it is now. Waiting until it calcifies when I’m 50 is too late.
