Conviction doesn’t live in a data room! At the early stage, you can rationalize your way into or out of almost any deal. There’s always something missing, always a flaw. It doesn't negate the value of doing the work - but the longer I've been an investor the more... show more

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

“there’s no right and wrong in being an artist. there’s just instinct and conviction. i think lack of conviction is the biggest crime and something that you can really tell a mile off. so long as you care about what you do, that’s the main thing”

I've been trying to figure out a way to summarize this Deandre Ayton quote and I just can't so just listen to it. The guy came into media day with more energy than the whole room of reporters combined. I respect it 😂😂

Keeta testnet just released and it is the fastest L1 I've ever used. I've been in Solana since the early days and even that doesn't compare to the lightning fast speed of $KTA. Those who fade $KTA are missing out big time.

Here's how to tell a better story at your next dinner conversation. Tom Segura calls it the "way in" "One of the big things people always talk about when doing standup is having a story but wondering about the 'way in.' The reason for telling a story is often as important, if not more so, than the story itself. You could just say, 'One time, I was almost the spokesman for Subway. Here's what happened.' But on stage, I started by saying, 'I'm so grateful to be performing here. I thought the highlight of my career was when I booked the campaign to be the spokesman for Subway.' Right there, you give yourself a reason to tell the story. You have a story, but you need to figure out your way in. Figure out a reason for saying it. Don't get lazy about those moments; figure out why." The way into a story is by tying it to stakes; the stakes are what make the person across from you lean in and ask, "What happened?"

Chris Camillo reveals he made over $10,000,000 in 3 months trading $AMZN , $BE , and $HOOD “It's eight figures between the three, and it's been the best few months that I've had in 18 years.” “I think Amazon was an eight-figure trade alone. So, I mean, last time I was on, I told you I was doing this, right? Like, I've been waiting for this trade for years. I've been waiting for this trade for over a decade, and I always say having a prepared mind is one of the most important things an investor can do 'cause it's usually during the years when there aren't any high-conviction trades like that that you have to prepare yourself to make the move when one comes around.”

Early on in my career, I had one business and I was still figuring it out. The decisions in front of me felt like everything was on the line. I needed a model. Something that could make every call clearer, big or small. What I figured out: all decision-making is value clarification. It comes down to what’s most important to you. Two people can look at the same situation and make completely different calls. Both right. Because the answer always comes back to what you value most. Next time a decision doesn’t feel clear, run it through OOC-EMR.

Karin Kneissl on current European values: “Europe was, for me, always about freedom. I was studying in the 1980s, in Syria, in Jordan, I always was grateful for the this freedom of speech, this academic freedom I had. As a teacher today in Russia, I see an academic freedom which I have been missing in European universities for the last 20 years. We can discuss here any topic, in a very polite way. It's a true pluralism. You have this or that opinion, and this freedom of academic discussion I've been missing over the last 20 years in Europe.”

Howard Marks just gave a warning about the current stock market environment, boldly claiming we are in a stock market bubble Here's what he said: "It does seem that stocks are expensive relative to what I call fundamentals or you might call reality. The outstanding reason is that there hasn't been a serious market correction in 16 years. So people get out of the habit of thinking about market corrections. The biggest single mistake I've been thinking a lot - what is the biggest single mistake investors make? And I've concluded that it is that they conclude that the way things are today is the way it will always be. And the things that have been happening will always continue to happen. Whereas reversion to the mean is much more likely. So I just think that it's worked very well. Being an equity investor has worked very well. Doing it on leverage has worked even better. Concentrating in a few stocks has gone very well. Investors are by nature optimistic, and that optimism dies hard. And I just think that the fluctuations of the market are mostly related to psychological fluctuations, and people go from neutrality to liking stocks to liking them a lot to liking them a ton to liking them too much. And that's the continuation that creates bubbles. And you know where we probably in the early days of that when you talk about liking these assets a little bit too much."

App building is a commodity now. The real unlock is an AI co-founder. HyperAgent is the closest thing I've seen. Here's how it works: Researches the market: - Scans Reddit for real user pain - Maps competitors - Sizes the TAM - Outputs a full business case Builds the product: - Full sandbox + coding tools - Ships a working V1 in the same thread Deploys itself: - One click into Slack Always-on - Always listening - Chimes in when it has something to add I've stopped thinking of HyperAgent as a tool. It's closer to a digital co-founder.

WATCH | Police Minister Senzo Mchunu says the NPKTT was established in 2018. It followed an incident in which Musawenkosi Mchunu had just been murdered, but to date there has been no conviction arising from that case. He adds that seven years later, there is still no conviction related directly to the first case, which was almost a test case for the NPKTT.

ALWAYS HAS BEEN Chapter 1: Fenestra Animae Website: X Article: Whitepaper video (~10 min) (see below) This is by far my most ambitious project yet and so I've provided a few ways to dig into the many deep layers of the artwork. First is the website which has the full whitepaper and a blueprint of the entire system. It also has a fun design, so I'd definitely check it out even just for that. Second, I've included the full whitepaper as an X article, so that it is easy to access and read. Third, I've created a video (~10 min) that narrates the entire text of the whitepaper with video illustrations of the concepts within the artwork (see below). There is a lot in there and those that take the time to understand it all will benefit greatly when the time comes. Hopefully one of these ways of reading the whitepaper will provide an easy way to dive in. I'll be following up with more posts and discussions to dig into the nuanced aspects of the work. In addition, a new version of The Terminal (FKA Latent Space Terminal) has also launched today. You can visit The Terminal here: But you will need to engage with the Always Has Been X account to gain access.
