If you grew up in the trenches, you already know this:
The dumber the people around you are, the more aggression you must show to be respected.
The smarter the people around you are, the less aggression you must show to be respected.
This is an unwritten law of human hierarchy.

A “healthy economy” is when a typical 90 IQ man can hold down a job earning enough to fund a modest lifestyle with his wife & kids.
This only works when 130 IQ men are free to build great things as they see fit, with minimal friction from 110 IQ administrators.

Einstein's genius was not raw cognitive power. It was intellectual integrity. He was relentlessly honest about what he understood and what he did not. His definition of "simultaneity," leading to special relativity, is original but not complex. That is a specific habit, not a gift, and one most schools never cultivate.
I am committed to developing this habit. Every day, I ask my students to identify what they understand and what they do not, in a reflective way, precise, sentence-by-sentence way. The student who says, "I understand the first half of this paragraph but not the second," is developing the habit of intellectual integrity. They are being scrupulous about the boundary between knowing and not knowing.

When the ship is sinking it's not smart to just sink with the ship it's better to jump ship

October 2024 Mandala Chain Treasury proposal: "Mandala Chain, built on Polkadot... reinforcing our commitment to building within the Polkadot ecosystem... onboarding the next 100 million users with Polkadot." Deliverables due June 2025: - 4 live MVPs - government integrations - 10M+ users on Polkadot January 29, 2026: "Mainnet moves to Eth L2". So where are the MVPs? Or was "commitment to Polkadot" just Treasury-speak for "we need DOT to fund our ETH exit"? You didn't onboard Indonesia to Polkadot. You onboarded Polkadot's Treasury to fund your Ethereum L2.

@TheWeb3Patriot @GlobeEyeNews Do you still support Trump? I remember you were a big fan

Okay if I didn't hate this guy enough already.....
Netscape was never even profitable before it IPO’d. Then AOL grabbed it like a hot potato and never made a dime off it either before it got steamrolled by Microsoft. That’s @pmarca's big claim to fame. He cashed out before anything real was ever built. The guy basically made his money selling speculation to Wall Street. Netscape wasn’t a sustainable business, it was a shiny tech product dressed up as a financial instrument. That IPO set the blueprint for what Silicon Valley still does today: pump the narrative, inflate the value, dump it before reality catches up.
And here’s the part that’s honestly funny and kind of ominous. From Wikipedia: “During this period, Netscape also pursued a publicity strategy, packaging Andreessen as the company’s ‘rock star.’ The events of this period ultimately landed Andreessen, barefoot, on the cover of Time magazine. The IPO also helped kickstart widespread investment in internet companies that created the dot-com bubble.”
That’s the whole vibe right there. He never built a sustainable business. He was the prototype for the overhyped tech boy image that still plagues Silicon Valley today. The entire founder-as-celebrity machine.... the hoodies, the thinkfluencer talk, the mythology they all started with him. He turned hype into currency. Everyone after him just copied the playbook. That’s how you get Theranos, WeWork, FTX, all the same bullshit wrapped in slightly different branding.
Marc’s not the model of genius or innovation. He’s the template for the grift. The original influencer-founder. The barefoot symbol of how performative ego and market mania replaced actual technological progress. And if he truly doesn’t do introspection like he claims, maybe we should be the ones doing some. Maybe we should be asking ourselves why we keep letting this type of person be considered a thought leader in anything.

@augeeidos @pmarca It's more than that and it's not random like casino, the goal is to maximise capital rotation and everything else is a mean to that end so clearly it's not going to bring world peace or happiness but it's going to maximise rotation of capital
English
English
@augeeidos @pmarca It is efficient use of capital in the sense that it maximises the movement of capital this is the only parameter
English
Yes, exactly. Capitalism is a game and that’s why the pretense that it’s some kind of fair competition for innovation or efficient use of capital is such a joke. The people who succeed are the ones who know how to play it, not necessarily the ones who innovate.
The whole moral case for capitalism was that it rewards efficiency, hard work, and innovation. But in practice, the only real innovation that gets rewarded is figuring out new ways to manipulate markets and win the game.

Because timing is everything, I wish I sold DOT earlier 😅

What you want is a picture of a person’s character over time. Restrain from the natural tendency to judge right away, and let the passage of time reveal more and more about who people are.

Seems that leaving Polkadot is a powerful catalyst 🙂

@giottodf It definitely was 3 big listings in 6 months Coinbase Okx Binance And tokenized S&P 500 Started a tokenization service that’s SEC compliant

Enterprise adoption? I didn't notice, where?
PolkaWorld@polkaworld_org
.@paritytech has always leaned into enterprise adoption, right? But for a long time, it was seen as a purely B2B story, something that didn’t really move the needle for users, and felt disconnected from the broader Polkadot ecosystem. With the rise of RWA, that perception might finally change. Because this is no longer just about providing tech to enterprises. It’s about giving them access to liquidity. Imagine this: • Parity curates enterprises with high-quality assets • Provides the infrastructure • Deploys them onto Polkadot Hub • Builds a native RWA pool on Hub Now, DOT holders can directly access these assets and earn yield. In this model: • enterprises bring assets • @Polkadot provides infrastructure • DOT holders provide liquidity At that point, @Polkadot Hub isn’t just a chain helping enterprises go on-chain. It becomes a market. And if it can truly connect assets with capital, Polkadot Hub becomes a capital layer. @gavofyork @dsedacc07

Emotions that don't exist in English:
Sonder (German)
The realization that every stranger you pass has a life as vivid and complex as your own
Mono no aware (Japanese)
The gentle sadness of knowing everything beautiful is temporary and loving it more because it will not last
Merak (Serbian)
A deep sense of contentment found in small moments. Shared laughter, warm light and feeling fully present
Iktsuarpok (Inuit)
The restless anticipation that makes you keep checking the door, waiting for someone who has not arrived yet
Toska (Russian)
A quiet heavy ache with no clear cause. A sadness that settles in and refuses to explain itself
Forelsket (Norwegian)
The euphoric rush of falling in love, before reality has a chance to interrupt it
Kilig (Tagalog, Philippines)
The sudden flutter in your chest when affection catches you off guard, a warmth that arrives before logic does
Hiraeth (Welsh)
A deep longing for a home that no longer exists, or maybe never did. A homesickness for a feeling rather than a place
English
Every single corporation is a top-down system
The White Rabbit@thewhiterabbitM
Building a “new society” with authoritarian methods is an old playbook. History shows how that ends. Top-down systems rise fast and break faster. Real resilience comes from open participation, consent, and evolution.

Yes but the thing is that Alibaba and Apple succeeded 😂
PolkaWorld@polkaworld_org
Jack Ma, with the vision of “making it easy to do business anywhere,” gave small businesses around the world a chance to connect to the global market. Steve Jobs drove Apple to make technology truly part of everyday life — simple, intuitive, and beautiful. @gavofyork coined Web3 and created @Polkadot, using code to rethink how society is structured, enabling individuals to reclaim ownership, freedom, and agency in the digital world. Real power doesn’t come from attention. It comes from a vision strong enough to change the world.

6 LAWS OF TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU RETHINK HOW YOU SPEND EVERY SINGLE DAY:
1. Hofstadter's Law:
Everything takes longer than you think, even when you account for the fact that everything takes longer than you think. Stop planning for the perfect version of your day. Plan for the real one.
2. Carlson's Law:
Interrupted work is not just slower ,it is fundamentally worse. Every time you switch tasks your brain pays a switching cost. Deep focus is not a luxury. It is the only way real work gets done.
3. Illich's Law:
After a certain point, more time spent on a task makes it worse not better. The person who works twelve hours straight is not more productive. They are just more stubborn.
4. The Law of Forced Efficiency:
You will always be most productive in the hour before a deadline. Not because you work better under pressure but because you finally stop perfecting and start finishing.
5. Laborit's Law:
Humans naturally do the easiest and most pleasurable tasks first. The work that would change your life sits at the bottom of the list every day. Flip the list. Do the hard thing first.
6. Parkinson's Law of Triviality:
Teams spend more time debating small unimportant decisions than large critical ones. The smaller the stakes, the longer the argument. Protect your attention from the trivial. It will consume everything if you let it.
