Charlie Munger was a philosopher who's net worth was $2.6 billion. In 1986, he gave a speech teaching how to guarantee a miserable life. Most heard the comedy. Few caught the framework. 50 years later, it's the most underrated tool in self-help. Here's the move: 🧵

@Travishaines83 @AlexMasonCrypto He never said they were listed.

@AlexMasonCrypto OpenAI & Anthropic aren’t even listed bro. NVDA/MSFT are printing real money. This ain’t 2000 😂

🚨 SOMETHING VERY STRANGE IS HAPPENING The stock market keeps pushing to new all-time highs. But nobody is paying attention to what’s actually happening. OpenAI and Anthropic are now worth $2.1T. That’s 10% of the entire Nasdaq. Numbers don’t lie: - $400B burned per year - $50B in actual revenue The biggest AI players are losing tens of billions per year. Not listed. Not profitable. And still being priced higher. The playbook: - Big players funding each other - Partnerships that look good on paper - Revenue that never leaves the system This has happened before. 2000: Companies with no profits. Massive valuations. Narratives driving everything Then reality hit. Nasdaq collapsed -80%. You’re watching it happen in real time: the final sign of mania. Companies rebrand as “AI”… and reprice instantly. This is no longer investing. It’s a bubble detached from reality. They break. Remember, I’ve predicted all the market tops and bottoms for the last 15 years, including the exact Bitcoin bottom at $16,000 three years ago and the top at $126,000 in October. If you missed those calls, don’t worry. I’ll call the next one too. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

The math on this project should mass-humble every AI lab on the planet. 1 cubic millimeter. One-millionth of a human brain. Harvard and Google spent 10 years mapping it. The imaging alone took 326 days. They sliced the tissue into 5,000 wafers each 30 nanometers thick, ran them through a $6 million electron microscope, then needed Google’s ML models to stitch the 3D reconstruction because no human team could process the output. The result: 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, compressed into 1.4 petabytes of raw data. For context, 1.4 petabytes is roughly 1.4 million gigabytes. From a speck smaller than a grain of rice. Now scale that. The full human brain is one million times larger. Mapping the whole thing at this resolution would produce approximately 1.4 zettabytes of data. That’s roughly equal to all the data generated on Earth in a single year. The storage alone would cost an estimated $50 billion and require a 140-acre data center, which would make it the largest on the planet. And they found things textbooks don’t contain. One neuron had over 5,000 connection points. Some axons had coiled themselves into tight whorls for completely unknown reasons. Pairs of cell clusters grew in mirror images of each other. Jeff Lichtman, the Harvard lead, said there’s “a chasm between what we already know and what we need to know.” This is why the next step isn’t a human brain. It’s a mouse hippocampus, 10 cubic millimeters, over the next five years. Because even a mouse brain is 1,000x larger than what they just mapped, and the full mouse connectome is the proof of concept before anyone attempts the human one. We’re building AI systems that loosely mimic neural networks while still unable to fully read the wiring diagram of a single cubic millimeter of the thing we’re trying to imitate. The original is 1.4 petabytes per millionth of its volume. Every AI model on Earth fits in a fraction of that. The brain runs on 20 watts and fits in your skull. The data center required to merely describe one-millionth of it would span 140 acres.

It’s that day when I make you all look at this

10 difficult but necessary conversations to have with your partner before 2026. (I do these often with my clients in counselling and it always yields rewarding results):

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425,000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses. Progress. Day one, I said "we need to break down silos." Everyone nodded. Silos are bad. I don't know why. But destroying them is a career. My career. I introduced "squads." Squads are teams. But disrupted. We disrupted the teams into teams. Different names. Same people. Same problems. But Agile problems now. Agile problems are strategic. A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing. I said, "The mindset." He asked what that means. I said, "It's a journey." He asked where we're going. I said, "Toward agility." He asked what agility means. I pointed at the sticky notes. They were moving left to right. That's velocity. We have velocity now. The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work. I said, "That's waterfall thinking." Waterfall is bad. Like silos. I don't know what waterfall is. But I know it's bad. She stopped talking. Waterfall accusations end conversations. We had a retrospective. In the retro, we discussed what went wrong. Everything went wrong. We put it on sticky notes. Then we moved the sticky notes. Into a column called "Parking Lot." The Parking Lot is where problems go to die. It's full. We don't look at it. That's agile. Velocity is up 40%. I defined velocity. I also defined the points. I also defined the stories. We're crushing it. At the things I made up. To measure. Ourselves. The CEO asked for ROI. I showed a chart. The chart went up. Charts should go up. This one did. I didn't label the Y-axis. Nobody asked. Leadership is confidence. We do standups now. Every day. We stand. For 45 minutes. Standing is agile. Sitting is waterfall. My legs hurt. But we're transforming. The transformation is now "Phase 3." Phase 1 was assessment. Phase 2 was implementation. Phase 3 is "continuous improvement." Continuous means forever. Forever means job security. I'm very secure. My contract was extended. Three more years. For "cultural impact." The culture is confused. But impacted. Agile transformation isn't about being agile. It's about transforming. Continuously. Toward more transformation. The destination is the journey. The journey is billable.

@GTraal @LiviaClauss Wieviel Reichsmark sind das?

@LiviaClauss Für eine ~125 Gramm "schwere" Weihnachtsendfigur großteils bestehend aus Milchpulver, Fett und Zucker, Preise von annähernd 9€ (18 DM) zu verlangen, scheint keinen der in die Preisbildung eingebundene Instanz gestört zu haben? Wo leben die eigentlich?

Das Zeug steht wie Blei in den Regalen.

@JanLoew @hans_hart Du kannst mehrere Tweets schreiben!

@hans_hart Also das mit der „Taschenkontrolle und verboten“ ist leider rechtlich komplizierter und müsste mal differenziert erläutert werden. Leider reicht der Platz dazu hier nicht.

Hihi,ich war vorhin im Stamm-Aldi. Da es die letzte Station war,hatte ich schon den halben Rucksack +einem Beutel voll. Nach dem bezahlen,kommt ein Mann zu mir,ob er in meine Sachen schauen dürfte.Na klar,kein Problem.Mach ruhig. 👇

@PiusSprenger Monthly rent heißt monatliche Miete 😊

Reichen 2 Bitcoin, um heute in die Rente zu gehen? Ich habe das einmal nachgerechnet – und die Antwort ist ein klares JA ✅ Annahmen:
• Bitcoin-Preis folgt weiter dem Power Law
• Start-Rente 2.500 € / Monat
• Steigerung mit echter Inflation von 7 % Unten seht ihr meinSpreadsheet. Wer andere Annahmen testen will, kann sich gerne bei mir melden.

@El_BambooX @tariqkhanfmd Wenn es in D (angenommene) 65 Mio Mietwohnungen gäbe, hätte dann (rechnerisch) eine halbe davon eine Klimaanlage.

@tariqkhanfmd Würd ja gern aber in ner Mietwohnung ne Erlaubnis zu bekommen, das ist schon wie den Eurojackpot bei 136 Millionen zu knacken

Die Deutschen haben ein seltsam gespaltenes Verhältnis zu Dingen, die das Leben leichter machen:

@diebspiel @TobiasDirking @Knitting_Fiona @Kachelmann Ich geb auf. Die nächste Stromrechnung wird's zeigen. P. S. ich hab selber auch eine Klimaanlage.

@pratthethai @TobiasDirking @Knitting_Fiona @Kachelmann Das Ding läuft eben nicht immer auf 100 oder 50% Leistung.

Danke @Kachelmann, denn ohne ihn würde ich noch heute den Mythos meiner Großeltern glauben, Klimaanlagen machen krank. Wir haben nun eine Klimaanlage, pünktlich zur Hitze. Warum ist das kein Standard in 🇩🇪 heutzutage? Fakten: 0,30€ Stromkosten @ 6h Betrieb (ohne PV) (1/4)

@GerFirefighter_ @HaraldFunk @TobiasDirking @Kachelmann Da steht doch 24kWh pro TAG. Das ist auch ein realistischer Wert für das Setup.

@HaraldFunk @TobiasDirking @Kachelmann Also etwa eine kWh pro Tag?

@TobiasDirking @Knitting_Fiona @Kachelmann Das Ding hat eine Nennleistung von 2kW, bei 6h auf 50% Leistung sind das immer noch 6kWh. Wie kommst Du da auf 30 cent?

@Knitting_Fiona @Kachelmann Wir haben: mitsubishi heavy industries srk20tzl-w Aber sucht euch einen erfahrenen Betrieb für Klimaanlagen und hört mal, was die empfehlen würden. Am besten auf GoogleMaps Rezensionen oder Empfehlungen vertrauen.

@TobiasDirking @thomashense1964 @Kachelmann Das solltest Du Dir nochmal genauer angucken. Das ist physikalisch unmöglich (zumindest wenn wir von nennenswerter Kühlung reden).

@thomashense1964 @Kachelmann Nein, diese Stromkosten sind heutzutage normal bei den aktuellen Generationen.

This is how an addiction feels like.
