Ariana Grande is doing a tour called eternal sunshine in the European summer. But she is skipping Norway when it’s 24 hours of sun! ☀️ 😭

I’m pretty happy with my ability to think about problems & make videos. The next self improvement dimension is: 1) cutting tasks 2) getting in better rooms 3) getting tutors

The Australian PhD stipend hasn’t increased in 30 years. If it stayed at the 1990s relative level a PhD would be $55k tax free (The same salary as a 1st year engineer)

Sometimes reinvesting into yourself makes you worse at the basics for 3 years. But if you push through it you’ll get really good at the basics.

Australia should build a maglev train between Sydney to Melbourne! Just to show we have manufacturing capacity & stop losing engineers to America!

RGB buildings have a massively underestimated cultural impact. They help say we are a future forward city. & inspire tech people! If you could truly measure the impact, it would become mandatory on skyscrapers!

The most important problem is helping scientists explain their research to the world! Because it: 1) attracts high quality talent 2) engages with companies 3) improves trust

I think we’ve peaked the number of romance movies. As the political divide between men & women increases, I think there will be a bigger focus on individualism in movies. In retrospect Frozen started it, then Hamilton + K-pop demon hunters continued it.

In 2040 I bet cars would have flashing lights & sirens when people are in them!

Being great means being able to: Think: (schedule, Money in vs Money out) Speak: (Make videos that can convince 6000 managers, engineers and admin to change) Feel: control your emotions to not quit Move: take action to build things.

3 top problems for Australia 1) get better at selling our science 2) Develop the film & media industry 3) develop hypersonic travel

Australia should be all in on rockets, jets and blimps. Reducing transport costs is the best thing for Aus!

Boom super sonic jets are like $200 M usd, why isn’t Australia making their own.

Why doesn’t Australia invest into supersonic commercial jets. It would be huge for the economy. 3 hours vs 22 hours to uk

I think we have over corrected on specialisation. The best way to advance a career now is understanding end to end!

Companies that charge more grow faster even when accounting for product quality.

My best lifehack. In ChatGPT’s custom instructions add: At the end of each response add options for what to do next. E.g, a: … B: … Make the last option to always reflect on how you would improve the response. @OpenAI
