People underestimate the intelligence gap between classmates at the same elite college.
So I have a friend, let's call him Joe. Asian American, met him at one of those "gifted" summer programs. Top of his class at MIT CS, worked at a top quant hedge fund, also a YC founder. He is significantly smarter than me.
One day I said "man, you were probably like the smartest kid at MIT when you were there." He looked at me like I had horns and said "dude not even close. There were so many times I felt dumb."
He then told me about a classmate of his, let's call him Ron. White guy. He was a legendary math olympian, and MIT classmates called him the Great White Hope. Joe was struggling with a math problem set, no progress after hours of laborious work. He finally swallowed his ego and asked Ron for help. Ron was playing video games, thought for a few minutes, and solved it with very little effort. Joe was stunned. That was his come to Jesus moment when he realized the limits of his intelligence that nature endowed him with. That there were levels to this.
I was reminded of this story when I read the Scott Wu profile on Colossus.

U.S. PROBES POSSIBLE INSIDER TRADING IN OIL FUTURES
U.S. regulators are investigating suspicious oil trades placed just before Trump’s Iran policy shifts, including billion-dollar positions minutes ahead of key announcements that moved markets.
The probe focuses on volume spikes across major exchanges, raising concerns traders may have used non-public information to profit from sharp swings in crude prices.

We had an intern who was set to graduate with an accounting degree in May, quit after 3 days and when they called him to see if he was still coming in the 4th day he said no bc he had an existential type crisis about sitting in an office, at a desk, everyday and said he had already changed his major to “natural resource and forestry for becoming a park ranger” lmao I am happy for him

fortune just profiled a 22 year old dropout named adavia davis clearing $40,000-$60,000/mo from faceless youtube channels. all ai generated. every single one.
his operating cost is $6,500/mo. profit margin sits between 85-89%.
he runs 5 channels. history. minecraft. animals. pranks. anime. his most profitable one is called "boring history" — he makes 6 hour long videos about historical events that are literally designed for people to fall asleep to.
sleep content. the guy is making $700k/year from videos that people don't even watch with their eyes open. that's a real sentence i just typed about a real person profiled in fortune magazine.
his pipeline is claude for scripts and elevenlabs for narration. production cost per video is around $60. he's pulling 2 million views per day across the network.
meanwhile there are production studios running 8 person teams with $50k/mo in overhead, professional cameras, full editing suites... making less than a kid in mississippi who automated his entire content operation.
the gap between "traditional content" and "ai content pipelines" isn't closing btw. it's getting wider every month. the people who built systems early are compounding. the people still arguing about it on twitter are falling further behind.
this is still early. think about how many more of these are going to pop up in the next 12 months...

First really warm day in Champaign Illinois and the kids don’t have school. I think these boys were trying to ding-dong-ditch the whole neighborhood. Well done boys! I wonder what their time was? 😂😂😂 a bit curious if they understand how ring doorbells work. Can’t wait to read the uproar in the neighborhood FB group. Hope they got everybody!!😂😂😂

I am begging you to realize that the story of Galileo you were told was mostly Enlightenment propaganda, that the real story is far more interesting, and that studying how this story actually played goes a long way toward healing the needless rift between transcendent faith and the scientific method that's plagued us for centuries.

Your horniness alters its texture & flavour to mirror your internal health.
In woeful, demoralising conditions, people mistake compulsion for libido — They think they possess high sex drives bc they fiend for venereal release constantly.
They are wrong.
This “libido” never manifests elsewhere in their lives.
They touch themselves through desperation. They have no inner appetite - Only a compulsive response to chronically elevated stress.
Once you begin to free yourself from your lowliest impulses each day, you feel an added weight and fullness in your loins. A generative energy replaces what depletes you.
For the first time, you experience a deeper sexual charge that throbs through the entirety of your body.
Everyone around you can sense it.
They savour it because you’re nourishing them too.
