That’s right (bad tie knot checking in)
John LeFevre@JohnLeFevre

There was a hiring shift on Wall Street in the early 2000s - away from jocks, nephews, and cool kids toward nerds, quants, and DEI-box-checkers. Bring back the soft skills: the show-the-client-a-good-time guys and people I don’t mind sitting next to on an airplane. In an AI world where knowledge is worth $0, only these matter: - Networking & social calibration - Persuasion (sales) - Curiosity (harnessing AI) - Taste & curation - Adaptability - Storytelling - Grit - Athletic proficiency (golf still counts) Also, this image is funny - a dude wearing a double breasted suit, denim shirt, and bad tie knot.

Stronger men are more likely than average to exhibit outward displays of anger. Researchers have measured men's handgrip strength, the amount of weight each participant could lift, bicep circumference, etc.—controlling for body‑fat percentage and other factors. The result was striking: stronger men were consistently more prone to anger. That pattern held not only in American samples but also among hunter‑gatherer groups in Peru and Central Africa. Anger seems to work as an effective bargaining tool for physically formidable men.

"Many people dread even banal conversations, but we massively underestimate how much we will enjoy them...Those who had conversations with strangers enjoyed their commute the most, even if they were introverts." a.co/d/8PGOpFn

"Poise, self assurance, optimism, efficiency, perseverance, courage, decisiveness, intelligence, ambition—these are the things that cause men to rise to the top of their professions...not coincidentally, these are the things that women find attractive." a.co/d/6FAY1Ad

Recent substack @robkhenderson quotes a Dalrymple classic. Was in Navy Yards 2 weeks ago. Nearly clipped by yahoos on a bike while on the sidewalk; a bike lane 5' away. Police in the area. Cultural rot at play here. How Criminologists Foster Crime city-journal.org/article/how-cr…

Washington, D.C. — Youths rioted and brawled inside a Chipotle in the Navy Yard neighborhood. The area has been a site of frequent violent anti-social behavior by youths, prompting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeannine Pirro, to announce efforts to hold parents accountable under the district's curfew law. ngocomment.com

"The Seattle increase, mandating a $20.76 hourly wage for restaurant workers, led to several closings...The owner of the Bebop Waffle Shop told the press that the mandate would cost her an extra $32,000 a year. 'Where do I make up that money?' she asked." city-journal.org/article/restau…

"Extraverts enjoy sex and romance. They tend to be ambitious, and enjoy gaining status and receiving social attention. They are prepared to work very hard in pursuit of fame or money...highly active people...vast stores of energy in pursuit of goals." a.co/d/5uKrPlS

"You will have so many opportunities to do the wrong thing: To gossip, to lie, to cut corners, to take short cuts. It’s never worth it, because then it makes it harder to like yourself. No amount of money or fame will make you feel good if you aren’t proud of how you’ve acted."

"Wolves and dogs cycle through an elaborate sequence of warnings before a fight...The system evolved this way because violence is expensive. Even the winner often gets hurt. The architecture of threat signaling exists to make actual combat unnecessary" psychology.humanprogress.org/p/on-the-abuse…
