Ozempic but for needing less sleep. Who’s building this- I've found a good way to spot outlier people is to look for 'script-breaking' when you have a conversation with them. Because so many people are parroting things they've read or heard, most conversations fall into a handful of predictable scripts. You're mostly tradingI consume a lot of information. A lot of podcasts. A lot of articles. A lot of research. And I honestly can’t believe how many people are just parrots of information I’m definitely at fault for some of this too but more recently I’ve hung out with super high conviction people
- 2025 is the year of max-maxing. Just maxing in every direction. Saying “yes and”. No more irony and abashedness. Just unapologetic sincere maximalism. Chill guy is out. Doing the absolute most is in. Full sends only.
- Very excited to read and have another book I can reference in multiple conversations per week.
- Cities could really use more college library-type settings beyond coffee shops
- Replying to @gaby_goldbergSwing Swing sounds like it was basically written to be played at house parties so this is perfect
- 1/ We at @a16z are thrilled to publish the first-ever American Dynamism 50 🇺🇸🚀 50 companies building in the national interest that embody the ethos of American Dynamism. a16z.com/american-dynam…
- Is your coffee table a shrine to the techno-publishing industrial complex, anon?
- I absolutely love the Austin founder archetype. Relentlessly focused on execution. Consistently ships at a fast cadence. Likely squats 2x bodyweight for reps and/or crushes backyard ultras. Cash flow positive, seed oil free. A jira board hates to see him coming.
- It’s always “where are you based” and never “why are you based” 😔
- Only 24 more books to go before we can fix every process in the world.
