@Raelthy The substance of choice for the frogs who enjoy to be slowly boiled.

Saying this as someone from Colorado. If THC was good for you I wouldn't know this many longterm cannabis users that are so completely deep crispy fried that it's sad. But good luck with the cognitive problems later in life. Your brain will be running on 1996 dial-up speed.

@qutyquteshweta I think they often anchor to their initial idea also, vs allowing it to evolve as new information comes in.

Most people don’t lose because they’re incapable. They lose because they stop too early.

I keep on breaking my hedonic treadmills.

@esha_hq Rory Sutherland would love this.

in the late 1970s, richard feynman was at a thai restaurant with his friend when he struggled deciding whether to order his favorite dish or try something new. he turned it into a math problem and solved it. tldr, the optimal (and intuitive) policy is to try different options each night until encountering an option with a value that exceeded the threshold relative to how many chances you have left. the cutoff starts high and drops over time. we see optimal stopping problems everywhere…finding parking, when to leave a job, deciding who to marry. surely feynman’s math on this is elegant, but the interesting thing is that this optimal threshold is determined by what you believe is out there. we spend so much time optimizing every decision, i think it’s worth reflecting on what kind of distribution we’ve assumed. these r his handwritten notes btw

The mini hammer and giant wrench simultaneously needed for my morning farm project look like ai generated hallucinations.

Audit your beliefs. You might be surprised at how quickly they become outdated.

@esha_hq Wise words from the plywood wilderness

listen up

@qutyquteshweta @BratDotAI By a long shot

@BratDotAI Maintaining

What’s harder with AI agents? - Starting projects - Finishing projects - Maintaining projects - Explaining projects

@esha_hq I think it’s an essential part of the risk takers journey, even though it can be painful in the short term.

@Schecter_Six so true i think someone will always be disappointed lol

just had a convo with my mom who desperately wants me to be a doctor (like most brown moms..esp those w kids who go to hopkins) for context, i wanted to be a pediatrician for forever but at my core knew i thought about things differently and did NOT fit the premed archetype. i just told her im 21 i want to take risk rn and there’s other ways to make people healthier at scale aligned with my nature. im sure you can predict the reaction… anyways she said “sorry if this convo is too hard for you” to which i said “you’re good. if i can’t handle a convo like this, im probably not fit to try what i want to try” idk it was surprisingly effective at disarming the fam LOL. comms? they’re mad but still a win in my eyes

People overspend on things they use occasionally and underspend on things they use daily

@esha_hq Oddly still doesn’t create a sense of urgency for many people. Number of times you’re likely to see your parents/friends again has been the most impactful I’ve found.

most of us probably have < 80 summers left if we’re lucky if that doesn’t bring perspective idk what does

@avidseries Partisan politics are effectively subsidizing therapists.

“Genies are real and we’re attempting to get it back into the bottle.”

@IridiumEagle On point. Surprised it took this long to hit this stage of the arms race.

Yup. Have been warning about this for the past two years also. It’s why Ambient is built to serve the world.

@esha_hq One of the most addictive and rewarding hobbies to pick up

i love NY bc wdym i just learned how to play electric guitar from a stranger in washington square park im bad at it

@OddStockTrader Everything good in life is gated by risk. From what I’ve seen most people anchor themselves to the risk outcome, and disassociate from the future that could be on the compounded reward side.

I'm CONVINCED over 95% of the population just doesn't understand simple RISK vs. REWARD as a basic concept. This is a massive problem.

@TheShortBear Very well deserved!

Happy official book release to all Market Wizards! Proud to have been part of history with a majority of friends.

Everyone says they want less screen time, but all behavior and usage data is pointing to more screen staring.

@VMises76153 Agree it’s often a “we get what we optimize for,” situation. Quality is hard to discern since the perception game is usually deployed best by the lesser products.

Maybe but I think problem is that they're okay with the broken half-assed solutions we have now and the slop that we call food and entertainment. We honestly need better versions of everything and it wouldn't be hard to design them. It would just be hard to find anyone who cared enough to buy them.

If you’re having troubles finding a product to build, talk to dumb people. They’re the majority and need solutions for everything.
