JUST IN: Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza honors his mother during his speech after winning the Heisman Trophy. Mendoza’s mother suffers from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). “Mom, this is your trophy as much as it is mine. You've always been my biggest fan … Your sacrifices, courage, love...” “Those have been my first playbook and the playbook that I'm gonna carry by my side, through my entire life...”

Round 4 or 5 no matter what

I gave a talk at the Network State conference in Singapore. Part 1 breaks down the US vs. China battle for military and economic global dominance, discussing: 1. 🇺🇸 US Strengths: military history, brand, immigration, Elon, and aircraft carriers (?) 2.🤦♂️ Cracks in the US armor: aging domestic infrastructure, afghanistan exit, Boeing, the Houthis 3. 🇯🇵 Isn't China just Japan 2.0, an empty threat? 4. 🇨🇳 Chinese Strengths: patriotism, 吃苦 (eat bitter), propaganda, population 5.💡 Is Chinese innovation real? 6. 🏭 Chinese supply chains, industrial capacity, and demographics (powerful 🤯 data, thanks to @hsu_steve for the STEM graduate data) By the end of this first section you'll have an opinion about whether we'll be living in a US dominant or China dominant world in 10 years. Part 2 discusses how the West (and the Network State!) can build hardware startups in a world where China dominates global manufacturing. 1. 🧧 You've got to go to China 2. 🔐 Doing what China legally cannot 3. 🚀 Western 0 to 1 innovation vs. Chinese 1 to N innovation 4. 🚜 Leveraging your country's natural strengths 5. 👨⚖️ Patents; using the global legal system as China struggles to learn it 6. 🌎 Global ex-China hardware talent 7. 💰 What these strategies have in common and why you should consider hardware (Apple, Nvidia) startups, not just software Whether or it's starting a company or predicting where this crazy world is headed, you'll learn a lot from this talk. Thank you to the @thenetworkstate and @balajis (one of the world's greatest living thinkers and a must-follow) for giving me the opportunity to speak.




Poor, sad Mexico. International drug cartels operate freely within their borders and Mexico can’t do anything about it. It is “childish, magical” thinking to expect our southern neighbor to have barely functioning law enforcement.




➡️Here are the facts that you need to know: President Trump is implementing a 25 percent tariff to be paid for by Mexican producers until Mexico cooperates with the U.S. in the fight against drugs. Mexican cartels are the world’s leading traffickers of fentanyl, meth, and other drugs. These cartels have an alliance with the government of Mexico and endanger the national security and public health of the United States. 2/5
