Roger Federer broke the internet with one statistic that will change how you see every setback in your life.
1,526 singles matches.
Won almost 80% of them.
20 Grand Slams. 103 titles.
Now answer honestly:
What percentage of total points do you think he won across his entire career?
70%? 65%? 60%?
Try … 54%.
He lost literally almost EVERY SECOND POINT he ever played for 24 years.
And still became one of the greatest of all time.
Watch him explain it himself (2:07 of pure life-changing wisdom):
“In tennis, perfection is impossible… When you lose every second point on average, you teach yourself to say:
‘Okay, I double-faulted — it’s only one point.’
‘Okay I got passed at the net — it’s only one point.’
Even a screaming overhead smash that ends up on SportsCenter Top 10… still just one point.
So when you’re playing your point, it has to be the most important thing in the world.
The moment it’s over — it’s behind you.
That mindset frees you to attack the next point, and the next, and the next with absolute intensity and clarity.”
Then he looked at the crowd and said the line that hit a billion people in the soul:
“The real sign of a champion is not that they win every point.
It’s that they lose again and again and again… and have learned how to deal with it.
Negative energy is wasted energy.
Cry it out if you have to. Then force a smile.
Move on. Be relentless. Adapt. Grow.
Work harder — and work smarter.”
Save this post.
The next time you lose a deal, bomb a presentation, get ghosted, miss a deadline, or just have “one of those days” — come back here and read it again.
You’re not falling behind.
You’re just in the 46%.
And the 46% is exactly where every single legend has spent most of their career.
Keep playing the next point.

I asked ChatGPT: “critically assess what Altman just wrote - find the inconsistencies in his arguments - use first principles to identify where he is hypocritical and wrong. Provide a TDLR at the start. “
Answer:
TL;DR
Altman’s statement is elegant doublespeak: he preaches market discipline while designing state-anchored dominance. It’s technocratic corporatism disguised as capitalist virtue.
⸻
Altman says OpenAI doesn’t want government guarantees, yet promotes governments building, owning, and offtaking massive AI infrastructure—effectively creating policy-driven demand that locks in OpenAI’s market position. That is picking winners. He claims “the market will handle failure,” but a $1.4 trillion, nationally entwined compute build makes the firm systemic—too enmeshed to fail cleanly.
He distinguishes fab guarantees (strategic) from datacenters (private), yet his own “national compute reserve” follows the same logic: sovereignty and resilience. The line between public benefit and private capture vanishes.
By framing the government as “insurer of last resort” for catastrophic misuse, he quietly socializes tail risk while privatizing upside—a classic moral hazard. If taxpayers bear existential downside, they deserve control rights, transparency, and open standards. None are mentioned.
His trillion-dollar expansion assumes endless demand, continued scaling laws, and abundant cheap energy. In reality, compute isn’t the only constraint: power, water, materials, and grid limits all scale non-linearly. If efficiency or open models cut demand, he’s left with stranded assets—subsidized by “strategic” narratives.
Financially, the math doesn’t work. Even at $200 B revenue and 30 % margins (~$60 B profit), the company can’t self-fund $1.4 T in eight years. That means dependence on sovereign capital, pre-purchase deals, or quasi-public finance—the opposite of his free-market claim.
Competition risk is ignored: a trillion-dollar moat prevents “other good companies” from catching up. The resulting structure concentrates control of knowledge, infrastructure, and policy influence in one private hub.
The statement’s real function is threefold: reassure investors (“we’re disciplined”), court governments (“you need us for national security”), and moralize expansion (“we’ll cure diseases and uplift humanity”). Those narratives conflict but serve the same goal—legitimizing a global monopoly under the banner of progress.
Altman’s tone of humility masks a power grab: a bid to become the backbone of digital civilization while declaring that failure should be market-disciplined. It’s the familiar Silicon Valley move—privatize profit, nationalize dependency, moralize the ambition. The form is capitalism; the substance is technocratic capture.

Amid a nationwide trend shifting away from processed foods, another major producer is announcing it will be removing high fructose corn syrup from its products. abcnews.link/wTj0zxq

@axabhishek_0309 @sama Society doesnt glorify having kids nearly enough. Our society in particular now insists that both mom and dad need full time jobs to get by. Having kids is more unaffordable than ever before hence the drop in birth rates.
English

@sama Not everyone thinks having a kid is the ‘best thing in the world’. For many it’s financial stress, lost freedom, and years of sacrifice. Society glorifies parenthood while shaming people who choose not to have kids. Some of us find meaning outside of diapers and daycare.

@RepMTG Why is logrolling or pork-barreling still legal? These dangerous provisions wouldn’t exist….1000 page bills? how do we expect anyone to have the time or resources to review this crap?
English

Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years.
I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.
We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous.
This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.
When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it.
We should be reducing federal power and preserving state power.
Not the other way around.
Especially with rapidly developing AI that even the experts warn they have no idea what it may be capable of.

@BarackObama @JoeBiden Lower health care costs?? That couldn’t be further from the truth. Our healthcare goes up 1500 per year for a 4 person family.. we pay 50k/yr b/w us and employer. Give me a break.
English

Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.

@greg16676935420 @JoeBiden hey said it at a rally at the end of his presidency. Everyone heard it. That being said he can't be much worse than "Mr. inflation Joe"

@atensnut would be helpful if you could explain so we have a clue what happened
