@jakozloski For any iq correlation I always wonder whether the effect also holds above 110. So not starting at 80, but 110.

IQ is the most predictive single measure in a century of psychometrics: education, job performance, income, longevity. Mate choice is no exception. Spouses correlate ~.40 on intelligence, four times personality. The mating market runs on it; few will admit it. Study: nature.com/articles/mp201…

@jakozloski There was no sharing/monopolisation by the top 1% men. You married someone from the same town. Your friends and family largely set you up. Life was good.

This table is from a survey given to college students in 1939, asking them to rank 18 traits in a future spouse. Love was 4th for men, 5th for women. The same survey ran for 57 years. By 1996, love was #1 for both. labs.la.utexas.edu/buss/files/201…

@jakozloski No suprises

624 men, tracked for 4.5 years. High-testosterone singles were MORE likely to become partnered fathers. Study: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@jakozloski Most women are attracted to the same small group of men, there is no heterogeneity

Give me your favorite dating myth. If Keeper has the data, I'll reply confirming or debunking it.

@jakozloski 80/20 is true. Is it the same few men dominating the 20s or not?

3.3M photo ratings on Keeper. Women 25-29 say No to 77% of men's photos. Men the same age say No to 52% of women's. By 45+, the gap is gone: 60% vs 62%. Standards for men are most brutal in the late 20s, then soften every year after.

@Achorsvalley @TheSalonDon Maybe if you want to compete in the men's amateur adult league

Huge misconception Basketball and Football are heavily based on athleticism Tons of pros start in high school or later Soccer is more based on skill. You need to start at age 3 like golf and tennis

@BoringBiz_ Your formatting powerpoints and spreadsheets a monkey could do, don't act as if you're doing hard cognitive labor.

I think people don’t realize how bad investment banking hours are till they actually try and do it themselves Working 80 hours within itself is a lot, but the worst part is the unpredictability of the work Your weekend plans, vacation or late nights can get blown up at any time. Freezes you up from making commitments with friends and family, which ends up leading to more isolation and burn out During the really busy weeks and deals sprints, hours can easily move up to 80 or 90 hours/wk. That incremental 10 hours between 70 hours and 80 hours eats into your basic life activities, like setting aside time for eating a meal outside of your desk or getting enough sleep I can’t tell you how many young people come into this field thinking it’s all sunshine where you work on exciting deals and earn a lot of money The closer reality is that the can turn you into a walking zombie with high stress levels, with nothing going on outside of work To manage the job, you need to be insanely disciplined about creating boundaries outside of work, taking proper time off, and knowing when to push back on stupid asks from VPs and MDs

@TheIcahnist How do you read books in different languages?

Notes from the Viking Billionaire: 1. Everyone talks about being happy, but what’s the point? Happiness can never buy you money. 2. If you’re poor, you’re seen as an idiot. When you have enough money and power, you’re eccentric. 3. He was the pioneer in introducing American‑style aggressive capitalism to Norway, boldly utilizing shareholder power to achieve his objectives. 4. He learned that it is not the size of the opportunity that defines the outcome, but rather the people who are with you pursuing the opportunity. 5. His strength lies in generating numerous strategic ideas, but he requires someone to help discern which ideas are viable and which are not

@respicepostte1 @riskmaxxing If its so easy then tell me, i'm 24

@riskmaxxing 300k at 23 is only a flex if you run it up to over 10m. 300k can be achieved with a little luck. 10M takes consistent skill

guy who has never touched 6 figs thinks 300k at 23 is a bigger flex than 10M at 40

@LilyWonderland5 @nonlinear_james 4. Jensen Huang excelled academically and graduated in Electrical Engineering at age 21 with highest honors. 5. Bernard Arnault graduated from the most prestigious and selective French engineering uni 6. Buffet graduated uni at age 19

@LilyWonderland5 @nonlinear_james 1. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk both literally studied theoretical physics at uni. Bezos was also a national merit scholar. 2. Sergey Brin graduated from uni in CS at 19 with honors. Larry Page did a PhD at Stanford. 3. Zuckerberg got a perfect SAT (1/2)

@MichaelRosmer @chamath People will always sell in fiat

@founders_feed @chamath Only if the claim is represented by the % of ownership vs in fiat But yes there are ways to make it work

I still believe this…

@vindictivebirds @LudensLudonauta @thirdmetax It was already hard in 2016 which is when he got famous

@LudensLudonauta @thirdmetax Yes but he didn’t create a new one. You’re dumb. You are overconfident. Try being humbler.

Mr Beast says he could start a faceless channel tomorrow and hit 20 million subscribers in six months “I could start a new channel tomorrow not using my face or my voice without ever promoting it and in six months have 20 million subscribers” “It’s purely knowledge if you knew what I knew you could get 10 million views a video and 10 million subscribers no matter where you are right now within 6 months” “It really is just knowledge”

@MichaelRosmer @chamath That's easy solved by making it a claim that's paid at sale of the non-fungible asset/company. Ignoring lending against the asset.

No there's a very important distinction The primary issue with wealth tax is you're trying to determine valuation in terms of Fiat and making it payable in terms of fiat If wealth tax was payable in the asset being taxed for example you fractionalize shares it wouldn't be nearly such as issue because you wouldn't need to determine valuation and you wouldn't need to sell the asset in question to pay the tax on it But there are other ways to do it such as in reverse by broadening the capital participation through issuance of shares. Interestingly this is common in silicon valley and doesn't create issues

@MichaelRosmer @chamath Thats just a wealth tax

The fundamental issue with wealth inequality is there's no decay function for ownership If you think about all other areas of life (relationships, health, etc) if you aren't continually working on it it is decaying But ownership in our modern legal system doesn't get taken away. This is contrary to biomimicry and results in a system that's not effectively meritocratic Ironically, there is a decay function to your cash and cash based Compensation, which we call inflation If you want to solve the issue the highly controversial injection needs to be to somehow introduce a decay function to ownership This doesn't inherently mean ownership would erode but rather that you'd need to contribute to adding value commensurate to the amount of ownership decay to remain at neutral and as ownership expands the proportional responsibilities to maintain the ownership would expand

@AliStachs @WestsideLAGuy Lol no. Why do you think we Dutch men are the tallest?

@WestsideLAGuy Too tall is a thing. Especially in Europe. But American women can't get enough of tall

Just hung out with my lovely niece. She started seeing a 5’6” Cuban bro, short but face game slays. Has a Jacob Elordi look & vibe, great curly hair & mustache. Meanwhile she friendzoned a 6’4” White bro because “he’s too tall & looks like a redneck.” Face>>>>height

@TheIcahnist Shitty book with too much rambling

This book teaches you how to: Overthrow governments in Latin America Monopolize entire industries

@TheIcahnist The rip up school carpets guy was already born into wealth. His family bought the business in a private equity like manner, he was just chosen as the most capable to run. Definitely not rags to riches. Respect to the car mat guy though

The Richest 0.1% in America sell rubber mats and rip up school carpets. If you’ve ever wondered why there are so few truly wealthy self-made people... It has little to do with chance and everything to do with your ability to risk humiliation in the attempt.

@DrewVento @ThyLordMatthew Which one did you like most?

@ThyLordMatthew Yuppp Did new cities for a while when I was a nomad. Ending up back at the same two all the time

After like 20 countries it’s all the same. Each new city is the same experience as the last new city. The newness of slightly different food, people, entertainment, are all slightly different in a way that’s familiar, in a way that that the difference is the same. The experience of being somewhere new is no longer new. There is no point in going to 40+ counties. You won’t remeber 25 of them and all you get out of it is a line for your dating app profile.
