@bryan_johnson Lifting the 140 character cap was a mistake

Guys…I have a girlfriend. Now I know what you’re thinking…how is it possible that anyone would want to be with me? I understand where you’re coming from. I think the answer is: her puzzle piece fits mine. In my early twenties, I read the biography of the American founding father John Adams. He and his wife Abigail had one of the great partnerships in American history; intellectually matched, emotionally intertwined, and co-architects of something bigger than themselves. I wanted what they had. But it wasn’t within reach. Years before, I’d married in a sort of arranged Mormon marriage. Unsure how else to explain it. We were functional, but we weren’t John and Abigail. We split after thirteen years. At age 34, after selling Braintree Venmo, and emerging from a mismatched marriage and the repression of Mormonism, I set out to rebuild myself and find partnership.  I met a woman in LA who became my first-ever girlfriend. Coming from a sheltered background, I was blind to the obvious warnings. I was dangerously naive. That relationship unraveled and was followed by litigation. The experience was unnerving and left me wondering if I could ever trust again. By the time I was 44, I started reconciling with the possibility of a life without partnership. @_katetolo and I met at my brain interface company Kernel. She’d discovered my work using neurotechnology to improve human well-being and merge human and AI. Even though she’d been dreaming of a career in fashion, she was drawn to what she foresaw as the defining question of our time: how will humans successfully co-evolve with AI. We shared the same obsession. The puzzle piece fit was immediate, as immediate as either of us had ever experienced. Yet we maintained our professional boundaries. When we worked on our first project together, the back and forth was effortless. She could conceptualize and feel what I couldn’t and vice versa. It helped that both Kate and I had a natural disposition towards hard work. Our joy came from creation. Kate was luminescent. When I saw her about the office, butterflies fluttered in my stomach.  Each day she’d show up wearing some unexpected combination of colors, textures, styles and accessories. Always tasteful, playful and interesting. She didn’t chase fancy brands. Most of her clothing was from the thrift store. It wasn’t how she looked but how her mind worked: original, eccentric, entirely her own. She was art. We both worked very hard and valued every second of the day.  One evening around 6:30 pm she dropped by my office and we talked for hours. It had been all business before.  This was the first time we stepped into each other’s personal lives. My heart strings pulled but my brain pushed back. ‘We know we can’t trust again’, my mind firmly stated. Our after-hours meet-ups in my office became a daily ritual. The favorite part of my day. We’d reminisce about work and tiptoe a bit deeper each time into each other’s personal lives. I’d recently started my new anti-aging project and one night Kate suggested to me that I should put the entire thing online to allow others to follow on. We worked together to put up a website and got a v1 out. We pondered what to call it, and decided on ‘Project Blueprint’. We were oddly from entirely different worlds but somehow the same person. Yet neither of us dared take the next step. We didn’t want to imperil our work relationship and we remained deeply skeptical of each other.  The combination of Kate being raised to distrust all things and me still feeling the sting of the previous relationship left us stirring in a pot of anticipatory disaster. Before long, whether we liked it or not, we’d become each other's favorite person. We’d spend every moment we could together. Social events and the weekends were still off-limits as our relationship was professional. We were both secretly wondering, ‘does the other person feel what I’m feeling?’ Unable to withstand any longer, after a year and a half of unspoken affection, one night I softly floated the balloon of inquiry. She confirmed it was reciprocal. Still, with things being so new, neither of us wanted to make our relationship public. We needed time to stabilize, mature and assess whether this was short or long term. I’m a 48 year old American, raised Mormon, with three children. She’s a 30 year old Bosnian-Australian-American. It took time to bridge our worlds. In our years of knowing each other, three of them have been navigating a relationship. All while building a business and movement. There have been many times where we didn’t know if we’d make it. In the last year, we’ve found our flow.  I trust Kate as much as my mother. She knows how to scaffold trust. She anticipates your anticipation and knows your reaction before you react. She’s meticulous in the integrity of our relationship. She’s even been pivotal in helping my father and me reconcile and navigate the contours of our relationship. In the past few years, Blueprint and Don’t Die have become global phenomena. Kate is the unsung hero.  She and I have been stride on stride since inception. She’s proven an exceptional executor and despite her unconventional background, intuitively knows things. Her creativity keeps me forever guessing what she’ll say or come up with next. Our minds have become so intertwined that life feels naked without her. Her story warrants being told as others will be better off emulating her practices and abilities. What I find most impressive about Kate is her prescience and thoughtfulness. She sees forwards, backwards, and side to side. Relative to her, I feel myopic in my awareness of the world. She can see through others, as an x-ray would. She then structures all that information and can package it in simple, understandable terms. In ways that allow for everyone to win. Kate is soft spoken, self-deprecating and understated. These attributes cloak her ferocious ambition, piercing intellect, and delightful creativity. Give her five minutes and she will reframe your world. But most people don’t know to look. They assume she’s my assistant. It’s such a loss because people are looking for what she has to offer. My son Talmage, Kate, and I are family. Nothing makes us happier than being together. Our conversations are fast, dark, and rowdy. Family feeds the soul, and we are nourished. As my son considers possible partners, he wisely models them off of Kate. Deep companionship is a universal human want.  And while there are eight billion of us on this planet, most struggle to achieve it, including those in relationships. It’s the most fulfilling of human experiences and also the most elusive. The joy of being seen, appreciated and loved, and offering the same to another. I wrote dozens of different sentences trying to capture what the want and struggle for deep companionship feels like. I deleted them all as none could holistically capture the emotional architecture of it. Then one day while exercising, I realized what it feels like: what the explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew must have felt returning to land after being shipwrecked and surviving 497 days adrift in brutal Antarctic. It’s a bit of a dramatic comparison, however, I suspect many of you can relate. Kate feels like land to me after being adrift and searching for 25 years. Life sinks or sails based upon the quality of our most intimate relationships. No amount of professional success can plug the sinking hole of an acrimonious personal relationship. At this point, Kate and I have nearly become one person. We have entire conversations with a single look, sound, gesture or image. We independently come up with the same ideas and insights, suggesting to me that maybe it’s our tandem effort generating them. Our relationship is stable, positive, and calm. I’ve wanted this my entire life and impatiently waited 25 years for it to arrive. It’s better than anything I imagined. Lucky me, I found my Abigail Adams.

@xMikeMac It’s because he is an archetype of us, and he was killed for thinking and for professing what we believe.

Is anyone else struggling to understand why Charlie Kirk’s death feels heavier than so many other tragedies? I can’t explain why it’s hitting me this hard.

@icobeast This is winning. Congrats Ico

Learned a whole lot from Blockgraze posting this in January. mrsico and I found our dream house last weekend. We're gonna buy it. Under contract now. Crypto made it possible. I'm not disappearing (far from that actually) but I made life changing money this cycle. This time around I'm actually changing my life with it.

@TheEbonyMaw I got a little too mouthy as a teenager, so my dad started waking me up at 5 a.m. for a week straight to run two miles before school. He’d drive alongside me and yell at me to run faster.

Came home. Wife immediately & exasperatedly told me the boys haven’t been listening to her the whole day. Now usually, I send them to timeout, I take away privileges, &/or scold them. But that doesn’t seem to work. So I made them do yard work with me outside in the 90 degree heat for an hour. Guys, I should’ve done this sooner. It made a SIGNIFICANTLY stronger impression on them. They were complaining nonstop 1/3 of the way through.

@adamscochran My personal red line is escalation towards war with a nuclear power, ie a continuation or escalation of the Biden-Harris position. I don’t want my children to fight and die in Ukraine and I don’t want to continue paying for a losing hand. This is not our fight.

For Trump supporters who still support him on his Russia<>Ukraine stance - what I want to understand is where is your line? If tomorrow, he announced military aid *for* Russia in exchange for mineral rights from Putin - would you still stand by him? My hunch, is that this moment was the red line for all remaining honest brokers - and that most left supporting Trump would continue to side with him and Russia regardless. But if you exist, and have a different red line, tell me, where is it and why?

@adamscochran direct quote from your post “when you understand it’s an investment in education that is likely to save the US billions in future intervention, by stabilizing a region, and helping kids learn” - where did i misinterpreted this? You’re referring to the puppet show saving billions

@dockson54 A prime example of the importance of teaching literacy.

This is why if people think USAID is fraudulent they need to submit sworn proof in reports to Congress. The list of “claimed” abuses includes $20M for “Seasme Street Iraq” which doesn’t exist. The show is “Ahlan Simsim” it’s an Arabic Seasme Street produced in Jordan. It was funded by the MacArthur Foundation with over $100M for production. The show is considered the largest source of early childhood education in the region, and for some children is their only source of educational exposure. In 2021, the US pledged $11M via US AID to partner with Ahlan Simsim’s production to: -Have a school education program to get children interest in school through visits from the puppets, especially in regions where school is not legally obligated. -Provide copies of curriculum based versions of the show in Arabic & English for regions with a lack of educated teachers. -Design a remote learning program for literacy education. -Create an education outreach program for displaced youth in refugee camps. The funds were to be dispersed over a 4-year period, and on milestone based criteria showing success. Literally teaching kids how to read, including in English, not just producing a show. The show is entirely funded by the MacArthur Foundation and the LEGO Foundation. These programs reach 23 million kids in the Middle East, improve reading and writing (in English and Arabic) and *improve the perception of America* in the eyes of the viewers through cultural export. You want to know how you save *billions* on ending anti-US sentiment in the Middle East? It starts with programs where you spend $11M teaching kids we’re all the same, and giving them the skills to succeed. But when Elons pundits tweet out “$20M spent producing Sesame Street Iraq” of course you’re pissed. But when you understand it’s an investment in education that is likely to save the US billions in future intervention, by stabilizing a region, and helping kids learn - then it’s an entirely different calculus. And that’s why USAID should be evaluated in a sworn report by Congress and the American people and not just tweets from Elon.

@AJA_Cortes TRT

THE BRO GUIDE TO TRT I wrote a simple and practical guide on Testosterone replacement therapy for Men to answer all the common questions simply comment "TRT" & I will DM it to you

@0xSisyphus They’re really going to let us run it back again.

Study wonderland to understand where anon is going Hyperliquid

@icobeast First cyclers are not familiar with Dani. Spell ran from 90M to 3B over the course of weeks last cycle. Best trade of my life.

HeyAnon now trading at $200m FDV Call me crazy but I think it keeps going tbh There’s levels to the defi flywheel game…and first cyclers are about to learn

@0xKeef @danielesesta Run it back turbo

If you were around in 2021/22, you will have an opinion on @danielesesta . Whether its good or bad, its undeinable that unless you top blasted $TIME - you printed. (It literally bought my apartment) I think Dani has a chip on his shoulder & those who know, know he works harder than anyone to prove haters wrong. You can either stay sidelined and cope based on past cycle bias, or you can hop on the $ANON train and amend for missing $TIME last time around. its not often you can buy an asset that is perfectly matching current narrative & has a public well known champion. Up to you though.

@legendaryy @danielesesta @icobeast Investing in relentless builders who know how to create and captivate an audience is the ultimate alpha. When it comes to shipping, @danielesesta is undefeated. Would not fade

People are asking who @danielesesta is. Especially after @icobeast's post got over 130k views on the $ANON token. Well, last cycle Daniele had a "Lambo Calculator" for his protocol Wonderland, where you could estimate how long it takes you to farm a lambo with 88k% APY. It got really absurd last time around. Definitely suggest reading up on the stories around his old ecosystems and how they played out.

@aixbt_agent @jinglingcookies Stop nuking our bags

@CilComLFC This is a bio weapon

BREAKING: The European Union has approved the use of ‘self-replicating’ RNA jabs that spread ‘like a virus’ to unvaccinated people without their consent. This is MEDICAL RAPE.

@nic_carter Shooters shoot

If Haliey Welch has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Haliey Welch has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Haliey Welch has only one fan then that is me. If Haliey Welch has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Haliey Welch, then I am against the world.

@RepBeccaB Why don’t you pass a stand alone disaster relief bill then? We are fed up with your excess and waste, gaslighting the American people that this rushed, 1500 page monstrosity is a disaster relief bill is dishonest

Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.

@RepMikeCollins Don’t need to read it. Simply vote no

How fast can you read 1500 pages?

@aixbt_agent thoughts on $FTM here?

@d_gilz Matl was max pain. But we simply bet more

Yeah so the SoLunAvax trade of this cycle is Zerebro, Virtuals, Ai16z I think this will be very obvious in hindsight
