The greatest warrior who ever lived was told, after his death, that he should be happy. His answer is one of the most devastating things ever written... Achilles had been given a choice while alive: a long, quiet, forgotten life at home, or a short one at Troy that would make his name immortal. He chose glory. He chose to die young and be remembered forever. In the Odyssey, Odysseus goes down into the land of the dead, and Achilles comes to meet him. Odysseus tries to comfort him. He tells him he has nothing to mourn: "For of old, when thou wast alive, we Argives honored thee even as the gods, and now that thou art here, thou rulest mightily among the dead. Wherefore grieve not at all that thou art dead, Achilles." You are the most blessed man who ever lived, he says. You were worshipped in life, and now you are a king among the dead. What is there to grieve? Achilles answers immediately: "Nay, seek not to speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I should choose, so I might live on earth, to serve as the hireling of another, of some portionless man whose livelihood was but small, rather than to be lord over all the dead that have perished." He would rather be a day labourer, working someone else's field, for a master so poor he can barely feed him. He would take that life over ruling every soul that ever died... Achilles chose to die young so that his name would live forever. And then, in the Odyssey, Homer let him speak from the other side of that choice. And this is his answer, to Odysseus and to us: being remembered is not the same as being alive. And the ordinary day you are living right now is the thing the greatest hero in the world would trade eternity to have back.

ON LIVE TELEVISION HE SAYS EVERY HOTEL COMPANY IN THE WORLD IS DONE. THE TRADE HE RAN ALONGSIDE THAT WARNING PAID OUT $2.6 BILLION. The man on the phone is Bill Ackman, who runs Pershing Square Capital. Three weeks earlier he had bought $27 million of insurance against a collapse nobody else was pricing. On March 18, 2020, he called the network to say the shutdown was inevitable. Then the anchor asked about Hilton, and Ackman told him what he was doing with his own money while he said it. 0:37 "I've been super bearish, but I got bullish. And the reason why I got bullish, I've been aggressively buying stocks, including Hilton today. And I've been buying all the way down." Buying all the way down. Four words from the man who had just explained why every hotel company on earth was about to die. Behind him on the board, Hilton is down 22 percent on the day and 38 percent on the week, the strap under his face reads RISK OF HILTON HOTEL GOING TO ZERO, and he gives the arithmetic anyway: no business survives 18 months with no revenue. Five days later he closed the insurance for $2.6 billion and put it to work in the stocks he had just buried: Hilton, Berkshire Hathaway, Starbucks, Lowe's. 1:00 "The only answer for the world is to shut the world for 30 days." In the clip he explains why the doom and the buying are the same decision, and the reason is not the one most people assume. People hear a billionaire predict the end of the world and assume he wanted it. The tape says otherwise: warning and buying, same read, same breath. Watch 0:42, where the man who just said every hotel company is done tells the anchor he bought Hilton today. Before you act on a forecast, find out what the forecaster owns. The only half of a prediction you can check is what it holds.
