Good screen for high-quality, enduring thinking: Does the thinker *obsessively* love and pursue truth? Above their ego? Above what they *want* to be true? Are they intrinsically motivated by understanding reality *as it really is*, or do they prioritize other things?

@EricJorgenson @elonmusk Yes yes yes. Congrats @EricJorgenson and thank you for pulling @elonmusk’s content all together. I’ve read it already. Well worth the time.

🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀 This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write… “All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.” Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner. It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you. Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances. I went through 3,000,000+ words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas. The final book is ~50,000 words. Every word is USEFUL. (This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.) Then, I spent $50,000+ on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful. Then… > Foreword by @naval. > Visuals by @jackbutcher. > Blurb from @mrbeast. > Published by @scribemediaco. > And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller. I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer. We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR. Why so much effort? My mission is to create One Million Musks. For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams. I’m an independent author. I don’t get an advance. I risk my own time and money to make these books. Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free. I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you. Because I know it is useful. Useful how? You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort. You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success. You will find both in this book. Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read. (I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.) You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history. Click below to buy it now on Amazon, Audible, or directly from me.

Well said. Well-worth a read. "The middle is still where the complications live, where the position is ambiguous and the thing no one modeled happens and you have to play the board as it is."

We are now living through a dramatic collapse in the cost to get decent answers to complex questions.

5yo just came home with her first lightsaber. Big day for me.

TSA Agent, to 8yo: Do you have anything in your pockets? 8yo: No. Not even dynamite. 🤦‍♂️

Respect Tradition and Support Innovation. Listen to the full episode on Power Laws with all four AoQ hosts here: theartofquality.co/quality-x-powe…

@EricJorgenson Channeling the music of the spheres…

Remember the goal

@dampedspring @curtcarlson99 What tool(s) do you prefer for this type of information?

@curtcarlson99 Nah the tool for the next hike has only digital outcomes. 50 or 25. 0 or 25 is not included today. Its even worse when its for a second or third meeting. ITS A REALLY CRAPPY tool

Raise cash. Sell all assets. $GLD,$SPY, $TLT, $IBIT. Don't cherry pick. Sell some of each and hold cash

"Seriousness is not a virtue. It is easy to be heavy; hard to be light." Man that's good.

"The best human work is the work that only humans can do: work that is relational, and work that is creative. Everything that is not connection, creation, or curation (and their required ingredients e.g. character, wisdom, judgement) will eventually recede into the background."

5yo overhearing my explanation: “I WANT A POWER LAW!” It’s a great day for us.

8yo: Why do you guys keep saying Power Law?!? Is that an important word to you? Big moment.

This was such a fun episode. It is incredible that no one has created a catalog of the world's oldest businesses. Grateful @EricMarkowitz is doing so and sharing the wisdom he is collecting along the way.

Too kind. Thank you @EricMarkowitz! This was fun and a good short summary of what I've been thinking through.

@CultishCreative Can’t remember, but I’m sure the punchline is “God bless the Internet.” 😂

@johncandeto this is ridiculous - how'd you end up reading this in the first place John?!

Just astounding.

@AKWilk Very kind of you - thank you! Glad it is resonnating.

I think @johncandeto of Phronesis Fund is criminally underfollowed. His writing over at phronesisfund.substack.com is phenomenal.

@CultishCreative @thejustinwelsh @morganranstrom @ReustleMatt Luck is real. But skill and effort can raise the odds of getting lucky.

Compound *in the right direction* as far as they can go. Right on @thejustinwelsh. cc: @johncandeto @morganranstrom @ReustleMatt

Mr. Rogers was much closer to reality than the fathers of scientific management.
