Incredibly excited to finally announce the launch of Delphi Intelligence - our AI focused research division Quick thread covering the story how we got here, why we decided to start Delphi Intelligence is, and how this fits into Delphi as a whole forbes.com/sites/digital-…

Europe (EU) doesn't understand the magnitude of their problem I'm a 23 year old entrepreneur and I know 7 other german 18-25 year old entrepreneurs. 5 of us, including me, have already moved to either Dubai, Cyprus or Switzerland. The 6th is preparing to move within the next 12 months, and the 7th is only staying because his business is physically tied to germany, but is exploring new ways to move his revenue to Switzerland. EVERYONE is leaving. The next generation of entrepreneurs is leaving the country the moment they get enough cash. The taxes, paperwork, regulations, general attitude of the government and government offices... It just feels bad to be there "Oh hey you made €100k this quarter and created a new job, meaning you create value, bring money into the country, and provide work for others? HOW DARE YOU, give us 42% of that for income tax + 1200€/month health insurance + 19% VAT + unlimited paperwork and regulations that will cost you about 20 hours of work per month, insane complexity of employment laws, and oh if you invest the money you pay another 26% capital gains tax and ridiculous property taxes and because we really fucking hate you, we will punish you with 5 years jail time for making any minor mistake." I love germany but that's unacceptable. It feels like having a gf with 6/10 looks but attitude of a 11/10 with narcissism They think we will never leave them Too late Next generation's business owners and builders have already left Enjoy poverty and miserable weather income tax 120 years ago in germany used to be 4% max and only 20% of the population had to pay it What happened to my nation I hope the next decades will bring prosperity back But it will only happen if we let builders exist in peace, instead of chasing them out of the country

I’m now fully sold on new ChatGPT 4o + memory becoming everybody’s therapist in like the next 2 minutes. Just based on 4 days of interaction, it is astounding: 1) It can give you as good a Big 5 analysis after a few conversations as an official test. 2) I asked it to remove all flattery and for every opinion to be "red teamed" too, and to "remove any self-care bullshit". I had a 4-day conversation, on and off, about a variety of things. First of all, this led to at least 3 very helpful insights — they came from me, but the experience definitely sped it up, it pushed me to make leaps that would otherwise have been slower. 3) I also asked it to “put me into boxes based on just the conversations.” It now thinks philosophically I’m an existentialist (Probably!? Ahh) with some other philosophical school as secondary nuance. Here it seems to be relying too heavily on my past queries, but existentialism I do accept — because I rarely ask about that and yet it came out as the top likelihood. 4) It interestingly got the "-NTJ" right in MBTI (but not the I/E — it thinks I’m an I which I am not: it has no way to tell intro/extroversion I guess based on just queries. 5) It was pretty good on extreme low agreeableness (I guess me asking for it to “remove any self care bullshit” multiple times helped 😄). ** Overall, it is about 10x as interesting as ever before, so I recommend trying! But NB: I'm hearing from friends that Claude Pro is also very good at this stuff, so this is not me comparing it to others — just comparing ChatGPT to its own previous incarnations. ** 6) A huge plus is that, unlike therapy which is always one-sided (we’re much more connected to each other than that!!), you can ask ChatGPT to do the same query and analysis but from someone else’s point of view, pr as an objective report, etc. This is HUGE. This is what novelists do!!!! This might be the first time for this to be done in nonfiction, ever. My whole experiment with Interintellect has been to do something I learned to do in fiction (theater/film dialogue, structure, dramaturgy) for real people. So this is very up my alley. And I think it’s a kind of revolution. It’s like having the ability to move the camera up for a bird’s eye view shot — which is what I always wanted. Here you are, a little node in the network — and here are your movements. This is important because free will is only real if you include everybody ELSE’S free will too. But then all the wills of course add up into some kind of logic and determinism, start obeying laws of physics in much more powerful ways. So you need to understand your own movement in it all and what you’re moving in — otherwise, you can have all the free will you want, you’ll keep bumping into things. People are generally like kids at a concert — you see that adults are clapping, but you don’t see at what. Moving up the eyeline is life-changing. ** So yes, you want DVD commentary about your life 😃. It’s turning YOU into the omniscient narrator. ** I should do a salon about this!! 7) LLMs will happily lead to not just a decline in the charlatan parts of psychotherapy but also in divinations. People go to fortune tellers and similar for exactly this type of information. 8) Also — and I hope this doesn’t mean we’ll become even more insular — it has long been my theory that people keep some relationships around not because those relationships are good, but because people think some other person contains some exclusive information about them, something they can’t access alone. Like the other person holds the other puzzle… If LLMs greatly increase our self-knowledge — both inside and outside — we might be able to not enter or retain such relationships! People will become much less of a feedback loop for each other; relationships will become much less about information we seek to learn about ourselves. ** In sum, go try this. Very very cool and possibly life-changing for everyone! **

Great chat w/ crypto OG @AriDavidPaul. We dive deep on altcoin market structure and the high fdv low float meta: - how to compare FDVs among projects - what makes for "bullish unlocks" - our general expectations for alts and how to play this cycle Enjoy!

Brain fog has you lost. Anxiety traps you in your head. Overwhelm ruins your productivity. As a therapist, I've helped hundreds of clients heal. Here's how you become your own therapist at home (with somatic psychology):

You're anxious because you want to have a fulfilling future but you're wasting the days that lead to it. A thread on why you haven't started yet:

Just finished this book - Bad Therapy by @AbigailShrier This is one of the most eye-opening books I've ever read. It's a must read for any parent, any teacher, and should be required reading for any school administrator as well. The book dives into trying to figure out why kids are having so many mental health problems, when there are so many resources devoted to improving mental health outcomes. Anxiety, depression, suicide, etc are all higher than they've ever been with kids, even though their lives are arguably better than ever before. It just doesn't make sense. A few key takeaways from the book: A constant attention on how kids are "feeling" or "thinking" is causing negative outcomes. Constantly ruminating on your emotions and how you feel negatively impacts your mental health. If all you do is focus on your emotions, you are destined to be anxious or depressed. We incessantly ask kids how they're feeling, if they're happy, how their mental health is, etc, and this is creating kids who think they're fragile instead of resilient. Trying to solve every problem for kids has caused a generation who can't do anything for themselves. We (Gen X) were told to "suck it up" or "you'll live" or "rub some dirt on it" all the time. Many of us came to the conclusion this is "bad parenting" because our feelings were neglected, and we vowed not to do this to our own children. Because of that, kids immediately over-dramatize everything that happens to them, making mountains out of molehills, and thinking the world must revolve around their emotions and feelings. You develop confidence and strong mental health by doing things, not by thinking or via therapy. You can't think your way out of anxiety. You don't gain confidence by analysis of your thoughts or mental health issues. You gain confidence and eliminate anxiety by doing gradually more difficult tasks, excelling at them, and realizing you are a competent, capable person. The non-stop attention therapy gives to these small, common emotions we all feel blows them out of proportion to their seriousness (not talking about genuine disorders here, just normal anxieties that millions of people go to therapy to try to avoid). One of the best ways to decrease your happiness is to chase it. Our society constantly tells kids they should be "happy" and asks them if they are. Happiness isn't a state you should be in 24/7. That's not realistic. Joy and bliss aren't permanent states - they are fleeting. Contentment, stillness, and being even-keeled are much better goals to aim for mentally. The happiest, most well adjusted kids come from families with loving parents that have strict rules for the household. This one really set off the confirmation bias in me... I feel really blessed we have 2 well adjusted middle school kids who do great in school, are very respectful and well mannered, and we barely even need to parent them. But for years, we were very strict with them. Bedtimes, family rules, how we do things, etc. The in-laws and lots of friends thought we were totalitarian. In reality, we just had high standards. And it's really paying off right now. I found it really interesting that strict rules equals happy kids. Makes sense, though, as kids need to know what their boundaries are. Constantly surveying school-age kids about their mental health causes more issues than it solves. Mental health resources is big money. Districts need to validate all the resources allocated towards mental health, and they often do that via surveys. Asking kids non-stop questions like: - Have you thought about self harm? - Have you thought about suicide? - Have you been so anxious you can't get out of bed? Etc, etc puts into their heads the idea that themselves, or many of their peers are broken and cannot function properly in the real world. It normalizes situations that would be incredibly rare at any other time in history. There's a lot of other takeaways, too, but I'll stop there. It's a fantastic book. Go pick it up and read it. This isn't an affiliate thing or a promotion thing at all. I just really enjoyed it, and it will further shape the way I parent moving forward.

Proud to finally announce the secret project @delphi_labs x @astroport_fi contributors have been working on: Inscriptions on the Cosmos Hub Quick thread on what inscriptions are, why they matter, and why it could be a massive catalyst for Cosmos

Its not your job to: - fix or safe others - hide your feelings to make other comfortable - make everyone happy - be liked by everyone

Don't give people a lecture or advice if all they need is someone who will listen.

I wish everyone knew that we all have a critical voice in our head.

The reward of people pleasing is that everyone else likes you, except you.

The happiness you're looking for lies in the work you're avoiding.

This is what self-sabotage looks like: - not asking for help - scrolling twitter for hours - saying yes when actually it's a no - bottling up your emotions - not doing something because you're not perfect at it

You don't need to talk about your problems more. You need the right tools and embodiment practices, so you can stop talking about who you want to be, and start BEING IT!

4 things to quit in 2024: Not speaking up when it's important. Caring too much about what others think. Thinking you aren't good enough. Staying stuck because you're afraid of change.

New year, new you? 🚀 This year marks a year of transformation and positive change - if you choose so. I've created a free reflection booklet for this year. You can download it completely for free. Name what's yours in 2024, and claim it! Get it here ⬇ hanamestani.com/NYE-2024-Bookl…

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US has been there: “I’m not good enough, not successful enough.” These usually aren’t just passing thoughts; they might be deeply ingrained beliefs, living in your subconscious! 👁️ Join my free experience on this topic tomorrow: hana-mestani.mykajabi.com/selflimiting-b…
