@Sergiosolis Too big hurts! my gf told me so

The real black pill is nothing else matters but dick size Looksmaxxing, statusmaxxing, all of it is irrelevant in a era when no girl is a virgin anymore If you can’t please her sexually or compete with her past mates, you’re screwed

@nickrgrs just comes down to short term vs. long term thinking the best are doing both

i always hear this idea that top tier schools are “networking opportunities” i disagree majority there are not doing anything worthwhile at all much smarter to jump into real world asap and shake hands of guys actually playing the game

@Scobleizer sounds like comes from someone who never lived in china if you think this is going to be a hit there

"You aren't getting it," a friend who lives in China told me after I said the new Ferrari is ugly. "This is gonna sell well with China's new rich." But why is a story of changing attitudes amongst car buyers, particularly in China. In a world where everyone around you is driving a new electric car, which is true in many Chinese cities now, showing up with a loud gas car just doesn't fit in anymore. Imagine you are a new rich factory owner in Shanghai. Do you want to drive around in a loud Ferrari, like I dreamed about doing when I was a kid? No. Chinese culture is about fitting in, about caring what everyone else thinks. Worse, in China they are going electric so fast that you can see the writing on the wall for gas. Soon gas stations will disappear altogether in major cities. And cars that pollute and put fumes into the air are already being seen as artifacts of an age that needs to die quickly, particularly in cities with 40 million people. Ferrari's sales are way down in China. New car brands there like @Xiaomi, @XPENG_Global, @NIOGlobal, @BYDCompany, and @HongqiGlobal are taking share with vehicles that have much more innovation than even this new Ferrari has. What are my credentials to talk about Ferrari? Well, I've studied automotive innovation my whole life. Audi taught me to race. I had the first ride in the Fiat 500, the BMW i3, the Tesla Roadster, the first Mercedes AI car, and a few others. Have hung out with many billionaires who have Ferraris, went on a famous car rally with such last year to study buyers of super cars, and car collectors, among other things. And I did consumer research about attitudes toward new innovations, like autonomy, around the world. But it goes deeper than just China, which buys more cars that USA and Europe combined. Ferrari is run by people who love to drive and love to drive gas cars with loud, big, engines. In USA that makes sense. My friend Scott Jordan, who owns a clothing company in Sun Valley, Idaho, has one, and within a few minutes from his home he can be on some of the best driving roads in the world. We argue about cars all the time, and he probably never will buy a Tesla. Loves the sound the Ferrari makes. And the design of the hand stitched leather dash. He hates this new Ferrari. Could never see himself in one. But his counterpart in China? Will never get onto a pretty road. When I was last in Shanghai I drove for hours and never stopped seeing high rise buildings with stop and go traffic. Americans can't grok that. They don't want a dirty, gas, car, that makes a lot of noise in China. All traditional luxury brands (another way for saying $500,000 or more for a car) are seeing sales declines for this reason. They also get on race tracks far less frequently than we can here in America. Which is where you can really enjoy a Ferrari. In fact, the luxury brands are more of a club than buying a car. I once hung out with the Bugatti owners from around the world (one of the benefits of living within walking distance of the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton). They told me that it is a club and that Bugatti flies their cars around the world for a variety of driving experiences. Makes sense, the last thing a billionaire wants to hear while on vacation is a pitch for a new startup, or someone begging for money (same thing, really). So they have a club experience that keeps them separated from those kinds. The Chinese buyer cares more about innovation than those of us in USA do. You see this in their vehicles, which have big huge screens covering the dash, and seats that rub their backs, and even suspensions that "hop" over potholes, not to mention autonomy that drives them everywhere in stop and go traffic. It's one reason why China's government has kept Tesla from really turning on its autonomy, which is slightly ahead of the Chinese brands. As a Tesla investor I am watching that closely. Speaking of Tesla, its new Roadster that we should see "within months" according to @elonmusk and his main designer @woodhaus2, should capture the world's attention, and especially the new rich in China. But will it be allowed into China in a world where USA doesn't allow Chinese cars to be imported here? The answer to that question is way above my pay grade. But if it were, it'd be a massive competitor to this new Ferrari. Why? Well, Ferrari's innovation just isn't there for this new consumer. It doesn't self drive. Its screens are smaller than any of those new Chinese brands, many of which started out making smartphones and other consumer electronics. And that leads to this design that is rightfully getting derided. Ferrari doesn't like being pushed into this new world of electric, screens, and autonomy. If it could it'd go back to an all-analog car, which is what most of the buyers of Ferrari like, taking them back to their childhood. I can just imagine what Jony Ive had to do to come up with even the design he was able to ship here. Consumers used to like buttons. Old people, particularly billionaires, still do. Takes them back to familiarity and tactile senses. They still talk about how much they love the buttons and knobs in their old cars. But the new Chinese consumers grew up with smartphones and iPads you can touch. Many of them carry around @Huawei triple fold phones, that, when unfolded look like an iPad. We don't have those in America yet and Apple is rumored to be bringing a single fold device to America later this year. Such a consumer is more impressed by big screens and automation than loud engines and fast speeds. But the new rich want to stand out. Often they are running factories or tech companies where most of the engineers have Teslas or one of the new Chinese brands. How do they stand out? Roll up in one of these. And now you understand why the design of this car is so ugly. Ferrari doesn't want its traditional consumer to buy it. And didn't want a mind-blowing aggressive design that would make its traditional customer pissed that it was "going electric." It's all about trying to regain share in China.

@nickrgrs if you don't take on any debt, then it's a great idea as a backup to internet money

@justkevooo how depressing

Jensen Huang is married to a gweila???

@zapatas_mom since when do doctors or lawyers have money?

Tbh I don’t exclusively go on dates with doctors, lawyers, engineers SOLELY because of their money. It’s also because they can keep up with me intellectually. The last time I accepted a date based on looks alone (6’2, athletic build, and handsome mid 20s) I got the ick because he didn’t know rabies was a mammalian disease. 🤣

@WifiMoneyPlant bro's wife is chopped and he made a weird statue in his backyard worshiping her

Lets take a second look at Mark Zuckerberg - multibillionaire under 40 - literally controls the world - fights and trains in BJJ - jet-skies in private islands he owns - has married his teenage love - multiple kids How is he a “beta male” again?

@cottonxbt everyone needs to do this from time to time withdraw a fat liquidity pool into cold, hard cash then fan your nipples with those blue faces baby

sold some crypto today numbers on a screen are one thing… but holding the actual cash hits different made me respect money on a whole new level

@greenytrades Its extremely difficult to remove the emotional detachment from trading but maintain excitement in other fascets of life Ultimately just need to compartmentalize these different parts of your brain through active mindfulness and genuine fulfillment in everyday life

i actually wondered if i've just fried my dopamine receptors from all the swings in crypto or if i'm just jaded, or just getting older i really think this is what it is remove the emotional detachment from trading is going to affect your brain's reward system it's not automatically compartmentalised

The thing nobody tells you about getting older isn’t that life gets harder, it’s that FOMO just quietly dies one day and you don’t even notice it leaving. I used to feel that pull every time something new launched, every new coin, every new thing everyone was talking about and now I scroll past most of it without flinching. I used to hate myself for missing ‘the next big thing’, but now I just cheer for others who are winning and look for the next one. A small part of me wonders if that hunger was my edge the whole time, and I’m not sure if losing it means I’ve grown up or just gone numb?! Numbness is a good thing when it comes to trading, too many people are far too emotional. But is this a good thing outside trading?

@ashen_one if anyone reading this post wants to slave and grind, DM me i may have a job for you

after being in online industries for over 10 years, it is clear to me that the only way to make real substantial money in this day and age is if you can find an industry that you can grind at 18 hours a day that can be: - content - clipping - crypto - trading - drop shipping - ai - ios apps - literally anything in the world that you can give 18 hours a day to to become a top 10% something at if you're not able to put in 18 hours a day into something and then get 18 hours+ worth of output from it, then it is not something that will be able to make you a substantial amount of money because the only people that make a real crazy money are the people that actually slave and grind away for years at something until they objectively deserve to make money from it you can't just walk into an industry and become someone that immediately understands the intricacies of it you really need to grind and learn as much as humanly possible and that takes weeks or years of 18 hours a day to do

@MrOverpaid the past closes some doors permanently that's for sure

Being in your 20s Means Playing life on ATTACK MODE 100% offense No time to play it safe - Go up and talk to more girls - Start a new business - Post your thoughts on social media - Move to a new country with your closest friends

it has to do with future plans to sell the company taking yourself out of the equation when you sell the company, you want the person buying your company to be convinced that the founder can be removed, and the business still prints revenue americans value recognition and clout, so a lot of them don't think about this as much and are more eager to belt themselves out on social media for attention

Could someone explain the cultural difference here please. Every time I speak with an American team, they fully understand the importance of the founder being public and are willing to do it. However, anytime I speak with a team from Korea, China, or Singapore, and I bring up the concept of founder led marketing, they're like "Oh no no no no, we're not planning on doing that" as if its some taboo or offence to be a public figure. Would love to hear from anyone familiar what are the underlying cultural beliefs are that create such distinct reactions.

@taobanker a good spawn point and a combination of some luck and talent have to use every advantage life gives us

it's mindblowing to me that such high powered careers are even possible. like how do you get on that track exactly

it's such a nuanced combination of some factors if someone is eccentric and still fairly polished, but at some rare occasions they're uncharacteristically vulgar, their socioeconomic status is extremely high the ability to free oneself from all social rules, at will, and without constraint, and still retaining status, is the ultimate socioeconomic signal

Regardless of clothes, cars, and material goods… People can tell your socioeconomic status just by looking at you.
