Without God, man cannot and without man, God will not..

What a disgusting and distasteful post, Kled has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to people for voluntarily contributing their data. We don't force people to do anything they don't fully consent to. We are the only app on the planet that instead of stealing your data pays you for it. Shameful post.

🧵 1/12 Your best ideas don’t come at your desk. They come when you’re walking. A 2014 Stanford study (published in Journal of Experimental Psychology) proved it with 4 clean experiments: walking literally gives your ideas legs. 81% of people got more creative while walking. The effect lasts even after you sit down. This is the creativity hack nobody talks about enough. Let’s break it down. 🚶‍♂️🧠 🧵 2/12The paper is called “Give Your Ideas Some Legs” by Marily Oppezzo & Daniel L. Schwartz. They tested two types of thinking: Divergent (wild, original ideas — Guilford’s Alternate Uses test) Convergent (one correct answer — Compound Remote Associates) Walking crushed divergent thinking. It actually hurt convergent thinking a bit. Translation: Walking = idea generation machine. Not idea judging. 🔥 🧵 3/12 Experiment 1 (treadmill, indoors, blank wall): People did the creativity test sitting → then walking. 81% became more creative while walking. Average boost: ~60%. They also generated 50% more total ideas (good + bad). Walking didn’t just make them talk more — it made a higher percentage of those ideas actually creative. Wild. 🧵 4/12 Experiment 2 added the killer detail: Sit → Walk Walk → Sit Sit → Sit (control) Walking beat sitting. But sitting AFTER walking was just as good as walking. The creative boost lingers. You can walk, then sit down and still ride the wave. Game-changer for meetings & writing. 🧵 5/12 Experiment 3 took it outside (real campus walk). Same massive boost. Even better: the effect didn’t wear off after a second walk. Switching rooms in the sit-sit condition didn’t help — it was the walking, not just “changing scenery.” 🧵 6/12 Experiment 4 was the most elegant: Four conditions — Sit inside Walk inside (treadmill) Sit outside (wheeled in wheelchair) Walk outside Only walking produced the highest-quality, most novel analogies (Barron’s Symbolic Equivalence test). Being outside helped novelty a bit… but walking was the real driver. The legs win again. 🧵 7/12Key takeaways: ✅ Walking boosts appropriate novelty (the actual definition of creativity) ✅ Works on treadmill OR outdoors ✅ Effect is immediate + has a ~10–15 min residual boost ✅ 81–100% of participants improved depending on the study ✅ It’s free, healthy, and requires zero training Nietzsche was right: “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” 🧵 8/12Why does this work? The researchers ruled out: Just “exercise” Outdoor stimulation alone Embodied cognition (you don’t need to keep moving) Likely mechanisms: more associative memory flow + reduced executive suppression of weird ideas. Walking = mild distraction that unlocks your brain’s default network. 🧵 9/12 Real-world application Stuck on a problem? Go for a 10–15 min walk Talk your ideas out loud (they recorded responses) Come back and write Want to brainstorm with your team? Walk + talk. Creativity + exercise in one move. The ultimate life cheat code. 🧵 10/12 This study is from 2014 and still criminally under-known. In an era of endless sitting, Zoom fatigue, and “I’m not creative” excuses… Walking is the simplest, most evidence-backed intervention we have. No apps. No courses. Just stand up and move. 🧵 11/12. If you: Write Design Code Teach Manage Or just want better ideas… Make walking your non-negotiable creativity ritual. I’ve started doing it. The difference is ridiculous. 🧵 12/12 Drop a 🔥 if you’re going for a walk after reading this. Tag a friend who needs to hear this. Your next great idea is literally one walk away. Now stand up. Thread end. 🧵🚶‍♂️

Fun facts : 80% of Silicon Valley’s startups have switched to Chinese AI Because of it’s price😂

If you skip some or all of college to start a startup, it's on you to develop your mind the way college would have. And that's not something that happens by default in most startups.

🚨 CEO of Nvidia: "I'd hire the graduate who's expert in AI over the one who isn't. Every time" he's not talking about people who use AI everyone uses AI. he's talking about people who know the stack. agents. frameworks. tools. workflows. Bookmark it.

The biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders is AI. But the most underpriced opportunity is probably non-AI ideas. So if you have a good non-AI idea, go for it, because everyone else is going to overlook it.

Diligence in 2026 is wild. My friends in PE are now spending the weekend before IC trying to rebuild the company they're acquiring in Claude Code. If the clone works, the deal dies. Cheapest moat test in human history.

Anthropic CEO (Dario Amodei): "Coding is going away first, then all of software engineering." What do you think about this?
