Life is amazing: -coffee exists -gyms exist -hot girls outnumber even moderately put-together dudes 2000 to 1 -you and your wife can drink 4 bottles of wine then smash all night without a condom -you and your friends can hit the gym then smoke a joint at a Coldplay concert -every food item in the world has been hunted/gathered for you (grocery stores) -you could be working 16 hour days in a coal mine in a third world country There are people who live in wheelchairs. There are kids born with disabilities. No 4th of July weekends, no sleepovers with their best friends staying up until 2AM watching Interstellar. And you’re not SMASHING the gym like a grateful SAVAGE!? Eating healthy 90% of the time, calling your friends for no reason, CRUSHING it in your career, asking for the promotion, asking out your crush making her your girlfriend then your wife!? You are spinning on a sphere in an infinite universe and the fact you’re alive is a 1 in 500 trillion miracle - you’re so lucky it’s absurd and you have nothing to lose :)

thinking of flying to Israel, has anyone been? if so recommendations?

Poker life in NYC is weird. "So you're playing with your friends?" Friends? Um, they're nice guys, we joke around between hands, but I'm trying to take their rent money, and they're trying to take mine. I've known some for over 20 years, but I don't see them outside the game.

@stijnnoorman dm

I remember being stuck at 183 X followers. It was extremely frustrating. Everyone else seemed to be growing. But I was stuck for months. And I even quit. Then I restarted and hit 1000 followers in 42 days. Your account isn't cursed. You just need the right growth strategy.

@cartiernoahh black coffee 15x a day is enough

Unfortunately I matured enough as an entrepreneur to know that everyone who’s performing at a high level CONSISTENTLY is using some kind of stimulant (usually Adderall) I’ve tried it, and bro. A weeks worth of work in a day. But, I’m not trying to cook my brain. I only get one of these in this life. What are the best nootropics out there? What’s the one closest to an addy level focus?

@incentivising loyalty overrated need leverage

I have seen many people mistake low-stakes cooperation for loyalty. When the cost of cooperation is zero, a person's decision to cooperate tells you absolutely nothing. That's why they're shocked when their "loyal cooperator" suddenly betrays them. Take note of these shifts. They have a reliable tendency to reveal a person's true face.

@siddharthwv u need to have systems

If you're so smart why are you still trading time to make money?

@itsnwts keep banging ur head until something sticks

I’m 22. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I only want the most random, specific advice possible.

@DanBilzerian jestering

Everyone’s getting paid to talk about the problem. No one’s trying to fix it.

Food is fuel.

@TiffanyFong what is this

@siddharthwv u gotta be sick in the head

No normal person succeeds at entrepreneurship. Only the delusional ones who don't let fear, doubt, or other people's opinions stop them... come out on top.

@PeptideList what's thymosin do

Jeremy Renner casually listing peptides tells you where this market is going. Thymosin. BPC-157. MOTS-c. TB-500. NAD. Hormones. The celebrity stack gets attention. The biology decides whether it makes sense. Same peptide. Different body.

@Clavicular0 i can't w u bro

Just a reminder

@AlexAndBooks_ its all over

This is crazy: According to TikTok's own internal records, short-form content is so powerful that: "In under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform." I imagine the same is true for IG Reels and YouTube Shorts. No wonder everyone has brainrot.

Life as a guy: wake up, bang ur head against the wall, repeat.

@DougPolkVids 100% resonate with this after deciding to full pivot to content full time after doing pro poker for ~6 years straight. i don't get how people manage both, but at the same time i can see why the EV in making content is high.

Get really good at one and dont worry about the other. Years down the road you can always change lanes. Its too competitive to get good at both at the same time.

@MainaKaibere @incentivising love it

@incentivising @ericvwrld Progress.....

Game theory emphasizes that predictability is a luxury you cannot afford. Once potential competitors figure you out, they will move in to secure their payoff, often at your expense. The toughest rivals never act in the open field. Instead, they wait for you to reveal too much. And this grants them a vicious asymmetric advantage: while they map you, you don't even know they exist. The only way to safeguard yourself is to be less strategically predictable. Mix up your routines. Never reveal your full intent. Become ambiguous.

@incentivising agreed. where can I read abt WWII unfiltered?

The greatest sign of intelligence is admitting you know nothing. Few understand this.
