If you were a brilliant mathematician or physicist, you might notice that the lines of that underlying grid map perfectly onto the tetrahedral symmetry sequence. Huh?

One of the things that happens when you work inside a really high-functioning private enterprise (Facebook back in the day, and Coinbase now) is that you go out into the world and everything seems so inefficient and badly-designed by comparison. There's this steep dropoff with how things get done in such an organization and the rest of the world, and you feel it every time you have to navigate that larger world. Inside: everyone is hyper-intelligent, motivated, mission-oriented and civil. Outside, well, it's something else. It's 'cheating' of course in that private organizations can vet who's there, performance manage, select for intelligence, temperament, and all the rest of it. But it's this weird A/B test between how the world could be if managed aggressively and well, and the default state (which usually though not always is semi-chaotic and deeply flawed in innumerable ways). I think it's partly why these companies always end up a bit insular and tribal: you'd rather deal with your near-perfect bubble than the ugly outside. Few people who work in such orgs would likely be willing to say this publicly (and I'm probably foolish for doing so), but I don't think it's a unique observation.

A woman on TikTok has posted a 24-part series about falling in love with her psychiatrist, claiming he manipulated her into it. She makes absurd claims in her videos and heavily consults AI, which always affirms her delusions. I think the bigger concern is that AI turns people into insufferable self-obsessed narcissists, rather than inducing psychosis in people who weren’t already prone to it. Hopefully we don't all end up microdosing these types of people/situations.

Great clip on the Federal Reserve. Show this to everyone you know.
