At 26, @chadbyers invested $250k into Robinhood after everyone passed.
That bet turned into $400M+.
Before he wrote the check, two experts told him: “This was tried in the 2000s. It will never work.” He still wrote the check.
Later, an expert warned him off Plaid. He listened and missed out on millions.
Chad’s takeaway is not “ignore experts.”
It is this: experts explain how the system works today. They are worse at seeing when the system is about to change.
In this week’s episode of The Library of Minds, the co-founder of @SusaVentures breaks down the full Robinhood story, his unicorn filter, the new data moat, and what comes after AI.

Ted Gioia’s cure for writer's block is as good as I’ve seen.
Here’s what he recommends:
1) Buy a blank journal, and keep it in a safe place. You don’t want anybody to see what you write in it.
2) At the end of each day, put down what happened during the last 24 hours. But there’s one unbreakable rule—what you write in the journal must be absolutely and totally honest. There’s one rule: Don’t sugarcoat. Write what you really feel, believe, and see. Don’t make it polite, slick, or crowd-pleasing.
3) Do it every day for a month, and then—finally—sit back and read everything you have written.

Ted Gioia thinks our culture is stagnant. Algorithms have us addicted to distraction, Hollywood's out of creative ideas, and people don't read hard books like they used to. 16 lessons about writing and breaking free from dopamine culture: 1. Ted's golden rule for writing: "Always be honest." 2. Three questions to ask yourself when critiquing something: Is it fair? Is it accurate? Will this be persuasive to all fair-minded observers? 3. Struggling as a non-fiction writer? Become an expert in something first. 4. Read slowly. 5. Success won't always come quickly. Ted's career is just now taking off — 50 years after he started writing for publication. 6. People will judge you on your outputs, but you should focus on your inputs. For Ted, that means reading mind-expanding books and listening to music. He does both for 2 hours per day. Then, he writes. 7. What kind of books should you read? Ted says: "Read for mind-expansion, not entertainment, and seek out challenging books." 8. Wondering which book to read? Think of books like drugs and pick up the one that'll give you the greatest out-of-body experience. 9. Do you struggle with writer's block? Do this: (1) buy a blank journal that only you will see, (2) write about something that happened at the end of every day — but there's one rule... you have to be 100% honest, (3) do this every day for a month, and (4) sit back and read what you've written at the end of the month. You'll be surprised by how much good stuff you have. 10. Your high school English teacher was right about this one... write in the margins of your books. 11. After you finish a book, summarize it in your own words. Helps with retention. Think summaries are too time-consuming? If just spent 10 hours reading the book, devoting another hour to synthesizing it is a relatively good time investment. 10-to-1 ratio. 12. Why is our culture stagnant? Consumer brands are increasingly old standbys. Look at video games. Minecraft (launched in 2011), Call of Duty (2003), Grand Theft Auto (1997), Madden NFL (1988), and Super Mario Bros (1985). 13. How about another example? The comic book market driven by the same brand franchises that were dominant in the 60s and 70s. All of the top 20 bestsellers are from Marvel or DC Comics, which were founded in the 1930s. 14. Want a third? Hollywood sequels. They're everywhere now. Top Gun, Spider-Man, John Wick, Mission: Impossible. 15. Music is like cloud storage for societies. That's why the historians in traditional communities were usually singers. Music preserves culture and folklore. 16. Consume old stuff when you're young and new stuff when you're old. This is the opposite of what most people do. Ted is the most well-read person I've met in years. You name it. He's read the book or listened to the album. This guy knows the Western canon. I've linked to the full interview with @tedgioia below. If you prefer to consume the interview on another platform, you'll find the Apple, Spotify, and YouTube links in the reply tweets.

Lots of discussion around Venice's privacy model last few days. Glad to see this as an important topic!
To date, Venice is private in that prompts and responses are not stored on Venice servers. They are not retained. They can not be viewed or extracted later.
This is private, but it is not provable.
Venice users are not mainly crypto people, and for them, the above has been sufficient (empirically, given the growth). But proving the privacy is much better, and we need to do so. This has been on our roadmap since inception.
But delivery means everything. Provable privacy will be delivered soon.

The same pressure that breaks one person builds another. The different is the story they tell themselves…

For most men in the West, testosterone declines 1% year on year from the age of 30. Testosterone is associated with a sense of agency. Giving men a boost increase their sense that they’re in control of their lives. This is one reason why older men should take care of their health and care about their testosterone.
Less testosterone ➡️ less agency ➡️ more negative thoughts ➡️ cognitive decline.
Nicholas Fabiano, MD@NTFabiano
Repetitive negative thinking is associated with cognitive decline. A positive mindset is a superpower.

You’re not procrastinating.
You’re conserving.
When metabolic output is low and cortisol is high,
your brain chooses safety over expansion.
Building a business feels dangerous.
So you avoid.
Not laziness.
Energy economics.
