Carl Jung has been dead for over sixty years, and yet that single sentence gets screenshotted, tattooed, and quoted more today than during his entire lifetime: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." There's a reason it refuses to die, because it describes a mechanism most people are running right now without knowing it. Start with what "the unconscious" actually meant to Jung, because the internet flattened it into a self-help slogan and lost the terror of the original idea. Jung wasn't talking about forgotten memories or bad habits. He was describing an entire hidden operating system running underneath your awareness — built from childhood wounds, inherited family patterns, cultural programming, and what he called the shadow, the parts of yourself you disowned so early you don't even remember rejecting them. This system has preferences. It has an agenda. It makes decisions. And it does all of this in a language you were never taught to read. You experience the output of that system as your own free choices. The person you're inexplicably drawn to. The opportunity you self-sabotaged right before it worked. The same fight in every relationship with a different face across the table. The career you fell into and can't explain why. You narrate all of it afterward as personality, as preference, as luck, as timing, as fate. You author a story where you're the conscious decision-maker at the center. Jung's claim is that you're often not the author. You're the narrator explaining decisions that were already made somewhere you can't see. This is where his idea collides directly with the Matrix, and the comparison is more precise than people realize. The Matrix isn't a metaphor for the world being fake. It's a metaphor for a control system so seamless that the controlled experience it as ordinary life. Nobody in the Matrix feels trapped. They feel normal. They feel free. The prison works because it's invisible. That is an almost perfect description of what Jung meant by the unconscious directing your life while you call it fate. The programming doesn't feel like programming from the inside. It feels like you. The reason so few people ever escape it comes down to a brutal design flaw in human awareness. To question your conditioning, you'd have to use the very mind that was shaped by that conditioning. The lens can't easily see its own distortion. Your defense mechanisms were specifically built to keep certain truths out of consciousness, which means the parts of you most in need of examination are the exact parts your psyche is engineered to hide. You're guarded against yourself by yourself. That's why insight alone rarely changes anyone. People read this quote, feel a jolt of recognition, screenshot it, and then continue living the identical pattern the following Tuesday. Awareness that stays intellectual changes nothing. Jung was pointing at something far more demanding than understanding. He was describing a confrontation. Making the unconscious conscious is not a mindset shift. It's an excavation. It means sitting with the emotions you spent decades avoiding. It means noticing the pattern while you're inside it instead of explaining it away afterward. It means owning the version of yourself you've been performing against your entire life. It's uncomfortable, slow, occasionally humiliating work, which is precisely why the culture prefers to frame it as a nice quote instead of a life sentence you're currently serving. And notice what he chose as the final word. Not "destiny." Not "path." Fate. Fate is the word humans reach for when something feels inevitable and external, when it feels handed down rather than chosen. Jung's genius was recognizing that the feeling of inevitability is itself a symptom. When your life feels like it's happening to you, when the same situations keep arriving like weather you didn't order, that sense of powerlessness is often the fingerprint of the unconscious running the show. The more automatic your life feels, the more of it is being directed from underneath. There's a strange freedom buried in this that most people miss because the idea sounds so heavy. If your patterns were unconsciously installed, then they were installed. Which means they can, with enormous effort, be examined and rewritten. The alternative belief, that this is simply who you are and always will be, is far more of a prison than anything Jung described. He wasn't condemning you to fate. He was showing you the one door out of it, and the door only opens inward. Sixty years dead, and the man is still describing the average scroll through your own life with more accuracy than the program that served you this post. The unconscious runs the program. Consciousness is the only thing that was ever able to read the code.

The Curious Tales

Max very eloquently describes the ambiguous intangibles that come from learning a fighting game you care about. These hit even closer to home on fighting games you end up liking more than expected. Imagine, if you will, the 1st time you booted up your favorite fighting game ; ------------------------------ The publisher and dev logos show up, maybe a dope trailer to intro the first time you turn the game on, then the title screen with a "PRESS ANY BUTTON TO START" or something like that. You find your way to a story mode or arcade mode and are filled with excitement on where this journey will take you. No matter what path you take you know that you signed up for an experience where you get to control and basically BECOME a character that kicks ass. Maybe after a while you decide to jump into training mode and start labbing, "I should really figure out a combo or two" because you don't want to mash forever. And then finally, you jump online. After grinding games for what felt like just a few minutes, you realize hours have passed, you're addicted. The grind only goes on harder and maybe you even find out about locals or tournaments in your area. Perhaps you even discover MAJORS - basically tournaments so large in scale that people from all over the world attend. Your competitive drive is at an all time high and then, suddenly, you hit it. The Wall - coined by Brian_F Now every game you lose, every local player that edges the win over you, ever single mistake just feels so heavy... It's because you are stuck. You are not growing. You are stagnating. And it sucks. It really sucks. I coach a lot of students and it's one of the hardest things to explain to someone "You're doing everything right, you just have to do it a - a bit quicker - a bit more confidently - with intent These are the intangibles, the hardest things to teach but the things that become so critical at the highest level, where inches become miles in terms of player skill. It gets so frustrating too because by this point, it's so tough to have fun when you just keep losing. You can't go back to day 1, at least not physically. Knowledge is a burden – once taken up, it can never be discarded - Stephen Lawhead Awareness is step one though and although it can feel incredibly suffocating, once you push through your plateau in fighting games you truly unlock a part of yourself that feels untouchably satisfied with all levels of play.

jihoon’s sleep paralysis is so bad that he went in and out of it more than 10 times during his massage today :( he couldnt even sleep and get some rest even if he had the time to :( i feel so bad :( 🐶 right after I got back to Korea, I went to get a massage. while I was getting the massage, I ended up getting sleep paralysis. 🐶 u know how it is, right? when you get sleep paralysis, you wake up - fall asleep - get sleep paralysis - wake up - fall asleep - boom sleep paralysis. over and over. u know you’re trapped in that cycle, but you can’t escape it because you’re so tired that you keep falling back asleep 🐶 im like “ah im probably gonna get sleep paralysis again” but at the same time you think, “maybe this round will be different” 🐶 but no, I got sleep paralysis so many times. I seriously got stuck in an endless loop. I was trying so hard to snap out of it, like moving around and struggling, and then when I finally woke up, the massage therapist was like 👩🏻 oh? are you okay? is this position uncomfortable for you? 🐶 so I pretended it was that and went “ah yeah im okimokimok” 🐶 then I fell asleep again, and it happened again. I’d move around, wake up, and they’d ask me if im okay. i say yes. this happened like three or four times. 🐶 then later they put something warm on me. but when they did, I suddenly got kind of scared because I was already in that weird state, so I asked, “how long does this stay on for?” and they said about 7 minutes. by then I’d already had sleep paralysis like four times in a row. every time it happened, i’d wake up - sleep paralysis - wake up - sleep paralysis just over and over. 🐶 anyway, after it was all done 👩🏻 does your body feel okay now? 🐶 oh yeah yeah my body feels great. yes yes I think I feel really good 🐶 my manager said he could give me a ride, but since the other hyungs had just gotten back to Korea too, I was like, “no everyone go home and rest. its Sunday anyway, I’ll go by myself.” 🐶 so I was dragging myself home thinking, “should I just lie down and sleep right here on the street?” but it was so hot today, and the back of my neck was burning from the heat. I pulled myself together and got home. 🐶 honestly, I was planning to sleep. I thought I’d sleep for like three hours after getting home, but I just couldn’t fall asleep. And seriously, this is torture. the suffering of insomnia is real. people who can actually sleep when they want to sleep are seriously amazing. 🐶 I really tried today. I turned on the styler, lay there with my eyes closed for like forty minutes, but in the end I couldn’t sleep. so I was like, “okay if it’s gonna be like this, i’ll just start a livestream! okay”

🚨 “Is This Going to Be Another Open-Air Women’s Prison?” Today, a courageous Texan stood before officials to warn of the EPIC City-style Islamic enclave creeping into our state. Karen spent nearly 3 years living in Kuwait under Sharia. What she witnessed wasn’t “diversity”—it was the oppression of women: 🔹 Women couldn’t leave without a husband’s permission 🔹 Passports were confiscated by male guardians 🔹 Honor killings were reported regularly 🔹 Women lived segregated, hidden from public life Karen didn’t come with theory—she came with firsthand experience. Now she’s sounding the alarm: Why are we allowing the same Sharia-style enclaves to take root in Texas under the guise of “planned communities”? “This isn’t just a mosque near a neighborhood—this is an entire system. Walled off. Operating by a different code. Outside the light of American law.” Karen, like so many today, took to the podium to defend our values, our women, and our state. Her closing reminder hit home: 🗣️ “I had the privilege of leaving Kuwait anytime I wanted. But what happens when Sharia enclaves are built here—and there’s no way out?” 📍 This is not fearmongering. This is lived truth. And Texans are speaking it. Stay tuned. More testimonies coming soon. PS: Check out my report below on the mega-mosque in Utah OWNED by Kuwait - And our Government Does not Seem to Care!

【📢TikTok live: อันโดรเมด้า ชุน 】 #จุงอาเชน #JoongArchen i hate incomplete translations… half a cake is still a cake but half a story is no longer a real story … Joong is not putting down or comparing any country with any other country… he is expressing his regret that the time he had to visit Baizil was so short 🐶 first stop: Brazil — our first time there. we did our homework — studied what Brazil had to offer and what places were worth visiting. tiktok showed how beautiful the cities were so we still went. we’d heard stories about people carrying guns on the streets. the local team even advised us: “don’t go out at night. stick to daytime.” me? i wasn’t too scared. i felt ready to “fight a tiger.” i was like “i got this!” so i walked around our hotel in the evening — and honestly it felt fine. people were out and about and it felt safe enough. then came show night. in Brazil we usually perform first then explore. the concert was incredibly fun — because it was our Brazilian fans’ first time seeing us in person! they created a real community vibe — setting up speakers and singing in the hall before the concert even began. they brought their own sound system blasting music and gathering together. even injured fans were singing Thai songs — clearly and passionately! not only was it fun but the sound system was insane — like ten or more speakers surrounding us. we barely needed in-ear monitors because the audio was that good. you could feel the intensity of the music vibrating through everyone — it was absolutely exhilarating. singing together feeling the crowd — i was totally euphoric. a highlight for me was this vintage market area near the venue. there were beer stalls alcohol being sold — but just to be clear i don’t drink alcohol. it was a cool vintage spot with artists sketching on the street for passersby. there were also these dolls — i honestly don’t know what kind — maybe hand-carved wooden ones. the clothes were super colorful too. but i didn’t have any money on me so i didn’t feel anything emotionally — just… nothing. i just took pictures to capture it all as a memory. honestly this was probably the trip where i spent the least amount of money in my life. still i posted travel pics and everything looked totally normal — super cute really lovely. 🐶 and then came the 2nd country: Mexico. it was honestly amazing — truly next level/at first when we arrived it reminded me a bit of Brazil. in Brazil you see graffiti everywhere — like people are just ready to paint every wall. so right after landing in Mexico and driving to the hotel i thought: “whoa this feels just like Brazil!” as we drove along i saw murals painted walls — kind of sweet and artistic. i wondered: is Mexico really that similar to Brazil? but the deeper we went into the city the vibe started to change. it was like driving through bangkapi in thailand — bustling crowded street markets a bit of traffic. then as we continued it started to feel like thonglor — more urban taller buildings. that’s when i realized: “oh we haven’t hit downtown yet.” but once we reached downtown — omg it was a whole different world. it looked so European! the buildings and architecture were absolutely gorgeous. if i were to describe it in fan-language it was so grand. you could throw on a suit and take aesthetic pics literally anywhere. in Brazil we barely had one day for sightseeing — just one day. but in Mexico we had three full days: one right after arrival. one the next day. and one on the day of the show. so we got to explore a lot more. you might have noticed i posted way more pictures in Mexico — that’s because we stayed longer. and since we were based in the city we could go out at night take pictures walk around. the city had such a strong European vibe. the churches were gorgeous too. we had the chance to explore multiple spots because we had time. honestly if we had as much time in Brazil we probably could’ve toured the whole city….+

China feels like the future… until you check what the future is built on. My friend just got back from China. On the surface, it’s insanely optimized. What he was describing is the UI. I’m talking about the OS, and the part most people miss: the hidden bill. The Great Firewall is more of a speed bump. VPNs and e-SIMs get around it fast. Immigration is basically a face-scan checkout lane. Delivery is frictionless. Transport is smooth. Shenzhen has 18M+ people and somehow doesn’t feel dense. Even the chaos is efficient: apps are packed because they maximize options, not aesthetics. Speed is the religion. But don’t confuse a slick UI with a healthy operating system. Everyone doomscrolls. Gen Z on Douyin and Xiaohongshu, boomers on WeChat. That’s not just “modern life”. It’s what a society does when attention becomes anesthesia. Hong Kong also hits different. Locals aren’t being dramatic when they say it’s past its prime. The vibe is not “global city”, it’s “post-peak”. Now the part most people miss: the hidden bill. Food, air, water. The sacrifices you don’t see in the app. Pollution doesn’t show up as a line item, but it is still a cost. Convenience is real, but it’s often subsidized by invisible inputs and deferred consequences. And the “tech miracle”? Follow the balance sheet. A lot of it is state money and state credit directed into champions. That has a price: SMEs get crowded out. Trust stays thin, so B2B stays hard. If companies don’t trust each other and labor is cheap, you don’t buy enterprise software, you build it in-house. That’s not a culture quirk. That’s incentives. Same story with VC. People say China is weak at 0 to 1 but strong at 1 to 100. True, but the reason is not talent. The downside is political. When downside is political, capital becomes risk-averse, copying becomes rational, and most markets drift winner-takes-all. Scale becomes the safest trade. Then there’s the “innovation parks” and cheap land. Everyone loves the aesthetic: futuristic campuses, low-cost industrial space, “supportive policy.” Look closer. Cheap land is not a gift. It’s collateral. It helped feed the real estate leverage machine. That unwind is the real macro story, not the headlines. Finally, surveillance. Don’t call it tech progress. It’s governance tech. Cameras everywhere are not about safe or convenience. They’re about control under one-party rule, especially when trust is low and fear is high. When institutions are expensive, monitoring is cheaper. So yeah, China’s UI is fast. But the OS is fear + leverage + state capital, with a hidden environmental tax. If you want the real takeaway: Stop arguing about features. Price the system. Because the alpha is always in the gap between what looks modern and what is actually sustainable.

If someone tells you Mercedes "Level 3" DrivePilot is more advanced than Tesla FSD, they are either clueless or lying to you. Mercedes DrivePilot: 1. Only works on certain models of the top end S class and EQS with special hardware. So only some versions of their most expensive car support it, or almost no cars. By contrast any Tesla built since October 2016 can run FSD. 2. Only works on pre-mapped highways in California or Nevada. By contrast Tesla FSD works on any road, highway or city streets across North America (and soon, Europe and China) 3. You must be in a traffic jam on the highway traveling under 40 miles per hour. By contrast FSD allows you to go up to 85 miles per hour. 4. You must have a vehicle right in front of you to follow, if they pull too far ahead you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD does not require a lead vehicle. 5. You must have clear lane markings — if they are faded you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD works without any lane markings. 6. Only works in good weather — if it's rainy, foggy, sun shining directly at car, etc you will be asked to take over. By contrast FSD works in a wide range of inclement weather conditions (but of course has limits too) 7. Only works in the daytime. Does not turn on at night. By contrast FSD works 24 hours a day. 8. You have to click ok to accept the first time you turn it on per drive. By contrast FSD just turns on without requiring you to click ok 9. DrivePilot still has a driver monitoring system that will beep at you / ask you to take over if you do anything that is not allowed (like leaning too far back) 10. You may be asked to take over at any moment for any reason and need to be ready to do so within 10 seconds. 11. If you don't take control, the vehicle will come to a dead stop in the middle of the highway 12. DrivePilot cannot handle interchanges or change lanes. By contrast FSD can handle lane changes and interchanges completely automatically. Mercedes can do lane changes in Level 2 mode, but in Level 3 mode you need to do them yourself. You will always need to pay attention to make sure you don't miss the exit 13. "Don't think of it as a fully automated do everything for you sytem. It's more like Level 2 enhanced, but enhanced in a really impressive way" 14. Relies on HD mapping to function. Mercedes needs to build and maintain these maps or the system will not work. The system does not work anywhere the maps don't go, such as city streets. 15. System is so reliant on maps to tell the car where to drive that they have to account for things like continental drift 16. When the system asks you to take over, you're sent back into manual driving mode — all lane keeping is turned off 17. Once it goes out of its operating conditions, you are liable again. So, for example, if someone changes lanes and there's no longer a lead car in front of you the system suddenly turns off, stops in the middle of the highway, and you're liable again "so it's always good to pay attention, even when these systems are on" (so what is the benefit exactly?) 18. Because mapping is so expensive to maintain, it costs $2,500 a year. By contrast FSD costs only $1,200 a year. It does so much more for less than half the price, and works on any Tesla. 19. No way to retrofit DrivePilot onto a car that doesn't have the LIDAR etc 20. "I came away from my time with DrivePilot a bit mystified. It's clear that developing this system was a complicated endeavor, with all the added sensors and complexity and while it was on I have to say it worked pretty flawlessly. But with the operating conditions being so narrow, I couldn't shake the thought of 'is this all worth it?' from my head. Even trying to film this video was difficult, as the vehicle would hand control back just as we were getting going especially with that low 40 mph speed threshold. And if I were paying $2,500 a year to use this system and it wouldn't stay on, I would find that pretty frustrating" It is crazy and sad that people are being so misinformed about important safety technologies that could save or change their lives. If anyone tells you this system is more advanced than anything else out there, they are either a moron or a liar.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF ELON'S CYBERCAB AND ROBOVAN PRESENTATION 00:00 Welcome 01:16 Cybercab & Future of transportation 04:33 Cost 05:53 Timeline 07:13 Self-driving technology 10:05 Inductive charging 10:24 The cities of the future 11:04 Robovan 12:13 Optimus Welcome Welcome to the We, Robot party. We have quite a show for you tonight. I think you're going to like it. As you can see, I just arrived in the Robotaxi, the Cybercab. And there's 20 more where that came from. So they've been traveling, there's no people in them. As you can see, the car is just going by with no people. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. So you'll see model Y's and the Cybercabs, all driverless. You'll be able to take a ride in the Cybercab. There's no steering wheel or pedals. So I hope this goes well, we'll find out. You see a lot of sci-fi movies where the future is dark and dismal, where it's not a future you want to be in. So, you know, I love Blade Runner, but I don't know if we want that future. We want that duster he's wearing, but not the bleak apocalypse. We want to have a fun, exciting future that, if you could look in a crystal ball and see the future, you'd be like, yes, I wish I could be there now. That's what we want. Cybercab & Future of transportation So, when we think about transport today, there's a lot of pain that we take for granted, that we think is normal. Like having to drive around LA in 3 hours of traffic. Yeah, people that live in LA, I mean, you know, try to get from Pasadena to El Segundo during rush hour. You can fly to another city faster than you can get to LA. And you have to drive the whole way, unless you're in a Tesla. Of course, our Tesla already does quite well at this supervised self-driving. So, supervised full self-driving is actually working quite well. I'm sure there's people in the crowd who are using that. So, we'll move from supervised full self-driving to unsupervised full self-driving where the car, you could fall asleep and wake up at your destination. But there's also a challenge for a lot of people that cars cost too much. I mean, when you factor in everything that goes into a car and the car insurance and the car payments, storage of the car, it's very expensive. You say, like, how many hours a week are cars used? Your average passenger car is only used about 10 hours a week out of 168 hours. So, the vast majority of the time cars are just doing nothing. But if they're autonomous, they could be used, I don't know, five times more, maybe ten times more. So you could actually, for the same car, would have five times as much value, maybe ten times as much value. There's 168 hours in the week, and like I said, only ten of them are used for driving. And then, a bunch of those hours are looking for a parking spot, which can be pretty annoying at times. So, with autonomy, you get your time back. This is a very big deal. So it's not just, it'll save lives, like a lot of lives and prevent injuries. I think we'll see autonomous cars become ten times safer than a human. I mean, if you think of times past where there used to be an elevator operator in every elevator but once in a while, they get tired and accidentally shear somebody in half. Now, we have automated elevators. You just get an elevator and you press a button and you don't even think about it and it just takes you to the floor. And if you did see an elevator operator with a big relay switch, you'd be like, that's weird. That's how cars will be. And it's not just the lives saved in injuries, but if you think about the cumulative time that people spend in a car and the time that they will get back that they can now spend, well, I guess, on their phones or watching a movie or doing work or whatever you want to do you can think of the car in autonomous world as being like just little lounge. You're just sitting in a comfortable little lounge and you can do whatever you want while you're in this comfortable little lounge. And when you get out, you will be at your destination. So, yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Cost So, in fact, I think the cost of autonomous transport will be so low that you can think of it like individualized mass transit. The average cost of a bus per mile for a city, not the ticket price, because that is subsidized, but the average price is about a dollar a mile, whereas the cost of Cybercab we think probably over time, the operating cost is probably going to be around twenty cents a mile. Including taxes and everything else, it probably ends up being 30 or 40 cents a mile. And you will be able to buy one. And we expect the cost to be below $30,000. And I think there'll be an interesting business model where, let's say somebody is an Uber or Lyft driver today where they can actually sort of manage a fleet of cars and like, sort of manage, I don't know, 10, 20 cars and just take care of them. Like a shepherd tends their flock. You have a little flock of cars and you're the shepherd and you take care of your flock of cars. I think that would be pretty cool. I think it's going to be a glorious future. It's going to be really something special. Timeline We do expect actually to start fully autonomous unsupervised FSD in Texas and California next year. And that's obviously, that's with the Model 3 and Model Y. And then we expect to be in production with the Cybercab, which is really highly optimized for autonomous transport in probably, I tend to be a little optimistic with time frames, but in 2026. So, yeah, before 2027, let me put it that way. And we'll make this vehicle in very high volume. But well, before that, you will experience a robotic taxi via the Model 3 and Model Y program and model S and X, too. But the Model 3 and Y will achieve unsupervised full self-driving with permission, in wherever regulators essentially approve it. In the US, and then to follow outside the US. And Cybertruck, too. All our cars are basically, all cars that we make. Let's not get nuanced here. Self-driving technology One of the reasons why the computer can be so much better than a person is that we have millions of cars that are training on driving. It's like living millions of lives simultaneously and seeing very unusual situations that a person in their entire lifetime would not see. With that amount of training data, it's obviously going to be much better than what a human could be because you can't live a million lives. And it's also, it can see in all directions simultaneously and it doesn't get tired or text or any of those things. So, it will naturally be, like I said 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human, just for all those reasons. And I want to emphasize that the solution that we have is, AI and vision. So, there's no expensive equipment needed. The Model 3 and Model Y and S and X that we make today will be capable of full autonomy, unsupervised. And that means that our cost of producing the vehicle is low. Now, we are going to actually over-spec the computer for the Cybercab. So, our AI 5 computer will be somewhat over-spec'd because I think there's actually also an opportunity, sort of like an Amazon Web Services, where if the car is driving for 50 hours a week, there's still over 100 hours left and there's a potential there to have a massive amount of distributed inference compute, where if you've got like a fleet of 100 million vehicles and a kilowatt of efficient inference compute, you have 100 gigawatts of compute, which is really quite substantial. And if it's there, you might as well use it so that I think will make sense. So, our autonomous future is here. As I said, we've got 50 Teslas driving autonomously. We're trying to give you a sense of what cities will be like in the future. And when you get in, you'll see like, it's really quite a wild experience to just be in a car with no steering wheel, no pedals, no controls, and it feels great. So we have enough vehicles here, so everyone should be able to try it out and experience the set that we've built here. It's a very big set. So it's like really we've used I don't know, 20, 30 acres or something like that. It's really big. So, it goes on, the ride's long. And we set it up to feel like a ride, like a park ride. So, it'll be cool and you'll get to experience it tonight. Inductive charging Something we're also doing is and it's really high time we did this is inductive charging. So, the robotaxi has no plug. It just goes over the inductive charger and charges. So, yeah, it's kind of how it should be. The cities of the future One of the things that is really interesting is how will this affect the cities that we live in. And when you drive around a city, or when the car drives you around the city, you'll see there's a lot of parking lots. There's parking lots everywhere, parking garages. What would happen if you have an autonomous world is that you can now turn parking lots into parks. And so, from we're taking the inglot out of parking lot. You're welcome. So, there's a lot of opportunity to create green space in the cities that we live in. So, like, that would be quite fantastic. Robovan Oh, and also, what happens if you need a vehicle that is bigger than a Model Y? The Robovan. We're going to make this and it's going to look like that. Now, can you imagine going down the streets and you see this coming towards you? That'd be sick. So this can carry up to 20 people, and it can also transport goods. You can configure it for goods transport within a city. Or transport of up to 20 people at a time. The Robovan is what's gonna solve for high density. If you want to take a sports team somewhere or you're looking to really get the cost of travel down to, I don't know, 5, 10 cents a mile, then you can use the Robovan. One of the things we want to do, and we've seen this with the Cybertruck, is we want to change the look of the roads. The future should look like the future. Optimus Speaking of robots. Everything we've developed for our cars, the batteries, power electronics, the advanced motors, gearboxes, the software, the AI inference computer, it all actually applies to a humanoid robot. The same techniques. It's just a robot with arms and legs instead of a robot with wheels. We've made a lot of progress with Optimus. And as you can see, we started up with someone in a robot suit. And then, we've progressed dramatically, year after year. So, if you extrapolate this, you're really going to have something spectacular, something that anyone could own. So, you can have your own personal R2-D2-C3PO. And I think at scale, this would cost something like, I don't know, $20,000, $30,000, probably less than a car is my prediction, long-term. It'll take us a minute to get to the long term. But fundamentally, at scale, the Optimus robot, you should be able to buy an Optimus robot for, I think, probably $20,000 to $30,000, long-term. And what can it do? It'll basically do anything you want. It can be a teacher or babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks whatever you can think of, it will do. And, yeah, it's going to be awesome. I think this will be the biggest product ever of any kind, because I think everyone of the 8 billion people of Earth, I think everyone's going to want their Optimus buddy. And there's going to be maybe two. And then, they'll be producing products and services. I predict, actually, provided we address risks of digital superintelligence, 80% probability of good outcome, look on the bright side, the cup is 80% full, the cost of products and services will decline dramatically. And basically, anyone will be able to have any products and services they want. It will be an age of abundance the likes of which people have not, almost no one has envisioned. It will be something special. So now, one of the things we wanted to show tonight was that Optimus is not a canned video. It's not walled off. The Optimus robots will walk among you. Please, please be nice to the Optimus robots. You'll be able to walk right up to them and they'll serve drinks at the bar. I mean, it's a wild experience just to have humanoid robots and they're there, you're just in front of you. So yeah, with that, let's party!

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF ELON'S CYBERCAB AND ROBOVAN PRESENTATION 00:00 Welcome 01:16 Cybercab & Future of transportation 04:33 Cost 05:53 Timeline 07:13 Self-driving technology 10:05 Inductive charging 10:24 The cities of the future 11:04 Robovan 12:13 Optimus Welcome Welcome to the We, Robot party. We have quite a show for you tonight. I think you're going to like it. As you can see, I just arrived in the Robotaxi, the Cybercab. And there's 20 more where that came from. So they've been traveling, there's no people in them. As you can see, the car is just going by with no people. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. So you'll see model Y's and the Cybercabs, all driverless. You'll be able to take a ride in the Cybercab. There's no steering wheel or pedals. So I hope this goes well, we'll find out. You see a lot of sci-fi movies where the future is dark and dismal, where it's not a future you want to be in. So, you know, I love Blade Runner, but I don't know if we want that future. We want that duster he's wearing, but not the bleak apocalypse. We want to have a fun, exciting future that, if you could look in a crystal ball and see the future, you'd be like, yes, I wish I could be there now. That's what we want. Cybercab & Future of transportation So, when we think about transport today, there's a lot of pain that we take for granted, that we think is normal. Like having to drive around LA in 3 hours of traffic. Yeah, people that live in LA, I mean, you know, try to get from Pasadena to El Segundo during rush hour. You can fly to another city faster than you can get to LA. And you have to drive the whole way, unless you're in a Tesla. Of course, our Tesla already does quite well at this supervised self-driving. So, supervised full self-driving is actually working quite well. I'm sure there's people in the crowd who are using that. So, we'll move from supervised full self-driving to unsupervised full self-driving where the car, you could fall asleep and wake up at your destination. But there's also a challenge for a lot of people that cars cost too much. I mean, when you factor in everything that goes into a car and the car insurance and the car payments, storage of the car, it's very expensive. You say, like, how many hours a week are cars used? Your average passenger car is only used about 10 hours a week out of 168 hours. So, the vast majority of the time cars are just doing nothing. But if they're autonomous, they could be used, I don't know, five times more, maybe ten times more. So you could actually, for the same car, would have five times as much value, maybe ten times as much value. There's 168 hours in the week, and like I said, only ten of them are used for driving. And then, a bunch of those hours are looking for a parking spot, which can be pretty annoying at times. So, with autonomy, you get your time back. This is a very big deal. So it's not just, it'll save lives, like a lot of lives and prevent injuries. I think we'll see autonomous cars become ten times safer than a human. I mean, if you think of times past where there used to be an elevator operator in every elevator but once in a while, they get tired and accidentally shear somebody in half. Now, we have automated elevators. You just get an elevator and you press a button and you don't even think about it and it just takes you to the floor. And if you did see an elevator operator with a big relay switch, you'd be like, that's weird. That's how cars will be. And it's not just the lives saved in injuries, but if you think about the cumulative time that people spend in a car and the time that they will get back that they can now spend, well, I guess, on their phones or watching a movie or doing work or whatever you want to do you can think of the car in autonomous world as being like just little lounge. You're just sitting in a comfortable little lounge and you can do whatever you want while you're in this comfortable little lounge. And when you get out, you will be at your destination. So, yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Cost So, in fact, I think the cost of autonomous transport will be so low that you can think of it like individualized mass transit. The average cost of a bus per mile for a city, not the ticket price, because that is subsidized, but the average price is about a dollar a mile, whereas the cost of Cybercab we think probably over time, the operating cost is probably going to be around twenty cents a mile. Including taxes and everything else, it probably ends up being 30 or 40 cents a mile. And you will be able to buy one. And we expect the cost to be below $30,000. And I think there'll be an interesting business model where, let's say somebody is an Uber or Lyft driver today where they can actually sort of manage a fleet of cars and like, sort of manage, I don't know, 10, 20 cars and just take care of them. Like a shepherd tends their flock. You have a little flock of cars and you're the shepherd and you take care of your flock of cars. I think that would be pretty cool. I think it's going to be a glorious future. It's going to be really something special. Timeline We do expect actually to start fully autonomous unsupervised FSD in Texas and California next year. And that's obviously, that's with the Model 3 and Model Y. And then we expect to be in production with the Cybercab, which is really highly optimized for autonomous transport in probably, I tend to be a little optimistic with time frames, but in 2026. So, yeah, before 2027, let me put it that way. And we'll make this vehicle in very high volume. But well, before that, you will experience a robotic taxi via the Model 3 and Model Y program and model S and X, too. But the Model 3 and Y will achieve unsupervised full self-driving with permission, in wherever regulators essentially approve it. In the US, and then to follow outside the US. And Cybertruck, too. All our cars are basically, all cars that we make. Let's not get nuanced here. Self-driving technology One of the reasons why the computer can be so much better than a person is that we have millions of cars that are training on driving. It's like living millions of lives simultaneously and seeing very unusual situations that a person in their entire lifetime would not see. With that amount of training data, it's obviously going to be much better than what a human could be because you can't live a million lives. And it's also, it can see in all directions simultaneously and it doesn't get tired or text or any of those things. So, it will naturally be, like I said 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human, just for all those reasons. And I want to emphasize that the solution that we have is, AI and vision. So, there's no expensive equipment needed. The Model 3 and Model Y and S and X that we make today will be capable of full autonomy, unsupervised. And that means that our cost of producing the vehicle is low. Now, we are going to actually over-spec the computer for the Cybercab. So, our AI 5 computer will be somewhat over-spec'd because I think there's actually also an opportunity, sort of like an Amazon Web Services, where if the car is driving for 50 hours a week, there's still over 100 hours left and there's a potential there to have a massive amount of distributed inference compute, where if you've got like a fleet of 100 million vehicles and a kilowatt of efficient inference compute, you have 100 gigawatts of compute, which is really quite substantial. And if it's there, you might as well use it so that I think will make sense. So, our autonomous future is here. As I said, we've got 50 Teslas driving autonomously. We're trying to give you a sense of what cities will be like in the future. And when you get in, you'll see like, it's really quite a wild experience to just be in a car with no steering wheel, no pedals, no controls, and it feels great. So we have enough vehicles here, so everyone should be able to try it out and experience the set that we've built here. It's a very big set. So it's like really we've used I don't know, 20, 30 acres or something like that. It's really big. So, it goes on, the ride's long. And we set it up to feel like a ride, like a park ride. So, it'll be cool and you'll get to experience it tonight. Inductive charging Something we're also doing is and it's really high time we did this is inductive charging. So, the robotaxi has no plug. It just goes over the inductive charger and charges. So, yeah, it's kind of how it should be. The cities of the future One of the things that is really interesting is how will this affect the cities that we live in. And when you drive around a city, or when the car drives you around the city, you'll see there's a lot of parking lots. There's parking lots everywhere, parking garages. What would happen if you have an autonomous world is that you can now turn parking lots into parks. And so, from we're taking the inglot out of parking lot. You're welcome. So, there's a lot of opportunity to create green space in the cities that we live in. So, like, that would be quite fantastic. Robovan Oh, and also, what happens if you need a vehicle that is bigger than a Model Y? The Robovan. We're going to make this and it's going to look like that. Now, can you imagine going down the streets and you see this coming towards you? That'd be sick. So this can carry up to 20 people, and it can also transport goods. You can configure it for goods transport within a city. Or transport of up to 20 people at a time. The Robovan is what's gonna solve for high density. If you want to take a sports team somewhere or you're looking to really get the cost of travel down to, I don't know, 5, 10 cents a mile, then you can use the Robovan. One of the things we want to do, and we've seen this with the Cybertruck, is we want to change the look of the roads. The future should look like the future. Optimus Speaking of robots. Everything we've developed for our cars, the batteries, power electronics, the advanced motors, gearboxes, the software, the AI inference computer, it all actually applies to a humanoid robot. The same techniques. It's just a robot with arms and legs instead of a robot with wheels. We've made a lot of progress with Optimus. And as you can see, we started up with someone in a robot suit. And then, we've progressed dramatically, year after year. So, if you extrapolate this, you're really going to have something spectacular, something that anyone could own. So, you can have your own personal R2-D2-C3PO. And I think at scale, this would cost something like, I don't know, $20,000, $30,000, probably less than a car is my prediction, long-term. It'll take us a minute to get to the long term. But fundamentally, at scale, the Optimus robot, you should be able to buy an Optimus robot for, I think, probably $20,000 to $30,000, long-term. And what can it do? It'll basically do anything you want.

And there's going to be maybe two. And then, they'll be producing products and services. I predict, actually, provided we address risks of digital superintelligence, 80% probability of good outcome, look on the bright side, the cup is 80% full, the cost of products and services will decline dramatically.

That was a really cool experience! After about 5 hours of walking we noticed a very remote yurt, lost in the mountains, so we went to check it out. There we met two Kyrgyz boys (at first we assumed they were Khazak but we were wrong) - two brothers 14 and 12 years old - who lived there with their horses and cows. As they explain, they were a whole family living there during the summer: these 2 boys, their sister, and parents. The parents were out working when we went there. During the rest of the year, they live down in the city where they have an apartment and where the kids go to school. They kindly invited us in and we bought some of their homemade cheese and yogurt. We paid them through WeChat, which really goes to show how universal it is in China: even in the most remote places! We also spoke about life and... guess what... Mbappé, who truly is the only thing people worldwide seem to know about France these days 😅 Having traveled in some 64 countries so far, China is really one of the only countries out there where you can still find people - like them - living truly in accordance with their ancestral ways and their traditions. I've met hundreds of people like them over the years in China. Which is why the accusations against China on eradicating minority cultures are so shameful: they're literally best in class worldwide in letting people preserve their traditional ways of life.

DRUGGED. STRIPPED and she says RAPED in a police cell. By the very officers meant to protect her. The doctors found her symptoms matched a date-rape drug. She was locked in that cell. So who gave it to her. The CCTV that could prove it? Four and a half hours, VANISHED. In the hands of the force she's accusing. Three and a half years on. Not one officer charged. No justice and it all happened in Andy Burnham's Manchester. His police. His watch. The man who says he should be your next PRIME MINISTER. Can't fix one cell in his own city. Wants to run the whole country. This is Zayna Iman and this is hard to watch. First, what she took, and what she didn't, because someone always tries that first. That evening she'd taken cocaine. A friend rang 999, worried. The police came to her home. That's all she did. At the door she knocked the glasses off a female officer's face, was arrested for it, and taken to a cell. Here's what matters. Cocaine doesn't do what happened to her next. The doctors were clear. Her symptoms matched a date-rape drug. GHB, or something like it. A completely different substance. She didn't walk in with that in her. She was behind a locked cell door. She couldn't have taken it herself. Someone inside that station gave it to her. Then the police said she'd had a psychotic episode. Except her medical records show no history of mental illness. The doctors said her belief she'd been drugged and raped was NOT delusional. It fit exactly what she described. A former Greater Manchester Police chief superintendent has said, out loud, that he believes her. She isn't the only one. Since she spoke, more than a dozen other women have come forward about this same force. Then there's the footage. On camera, you see her carried in and strip-searched. Then, for the hours that matter most, the screen goes black. The story kept changing. It existed. It was corrupted. It can't be recovered. She says four and a half hours are gone. They admit two. Either way, the proof vanished in the hands of the accused. And Burnham? She contacted him in 2021, two months after she got out. Silence, she says, until 2023, when she waived her anonymity and public outcry forced his hand. Only then did he move. An inquiry into how police treat women in custody. Except the woman at the centre of it says nobody from that inquiry properly spoke to her. Stonewalled. Gaslit. Her words. Nobody's been charged. The investigation still crawls on. Say that plainly. But strip it back. A woman took cocaine and needed help. She ended up drugged with something else entirely, in a cell, in the care of the state and the cameras went dark exactly when it mattered. If it can happen to her, and the proof can just disappear, it can happen to anyone the police put in a cell. Your daughter. Your sister. You. Three and a half years. Still no answers. And the man who moved only when the country was watching wants the keys to the whole country. Ask yourself what he does when nobody's filming.

NYC STREET FOOD LEGEND 🔥 Would you wait in line a full block long at midnight… for a chicken and rice platter in New York City?! At the corner of 49th & 6th in Midtown Manhattan, there’s a halal cart that draws crowds like a concert. Locals, tourists, night owls, and foodies all line up, rain or shine, for one reason…Adel’s Famous Halal Food. Here’s what they serve, why it’s that good, and what makes halal food so special👇 🍴 What’s on the Menu •Meat Platters & Rice — Their stars are Chicken over Rice, Lamb over Rice, or a Mix Platter (chicken + lamb). •Gyros & Sandwiches — Lamb gyro is popular, plus you can get your chicken or lamb in sandwich form. •Sauces — They have that famous white sauce (creamy, tangy, cool) and a hot/red sauce for folks craving spice. •Rice Choices — Regular yellow rice or spicy rice. Go regular if you want to ease into it, spicy if you’re in for the flavor kick. 📍 Hours & Where & When •Location: Southwest corner of W 49th Street & 6th Avenue (Midtown Manhattan). •When: Opens around 6 PM, stays open very late (often past 4 AM, even 5 AM on weekends). •Delivery / Pickup: They also do delivery & pickup (Seamless) during later night hours. 🔥 Why It’s So Loved (and Why You’ll See That Line!) •Flavor + Value — Tender, well-seasoned meats + rice + generous sauces. You get a hearty plate without a wallet meltdown. •Exposure & Viral Reputation — It’s not just good, it’s famous. People share pics & videos, lines in rain, in cold, late night, all kinds of dedicated. •Timing & Location — Midtown, near theaters, offices, lots of foot traffic. Also open late so it hits for dinner and late-night crowds. •The Drama of Waiting — Let’s be honest: long lines = social proof. If you see people waiting, people want to know why. It builds mystique. (Yes it can take awhile!) 📚 What Halal Food Means — Quick Guide •Halal is an Arabic term meaning permissible under Islamic law. •For food, that usually means the meat comes from animals slaughtered in a certain way, without pork, without alcohol used in cooking, etc. Standards vary, but “halal cart” usually signals this compliance. •Many halal carts also serve items that aren’t meat, don’t assume everything is meat‑centric, but at Adel’s the focus is on chicken, lamb, gyro, etc. 🧐 Fun/Insider Tips •To avoid the longest wait, timing matters: try going right at opening (~6 PM), or late enough when crowds thin out. •If it’s super crowded, maybe order ahead (if available), or share platters if you’re with friends (two meats = more bang for your buck). •Always ask them how much sauce (white/hot) you want. It can make a big difference.

My fellow Chicagoans, our city is at the precipice We have been suffering through insidious crime for decades but over the past 8 years under our current Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s reign, we have fallen off a cliff There is no more time, no more mulligans, no more excuses: “We need to right the ship and we need to right the ship quickly.” Eileen O’Neill Burke It is WELL past time to get the adults back in the room and I’m here to tell you that the first adult we need is, without question, Eileen to replace Foxx, period I’m an outspoken proponent of Eileen, and although there are many reasons, this less than 2 minute video I took does an incredibly good job of explaining why, and directly from her own mouth, so please watch it My favorite part is when Eileen says: “And, he’s a nice man…I’m a terrible politician, but he’s a nice man.” I love this because I’m D-O-N-E with career politicians and NO politician would EVER call their opponent a “nice man” and mean it Eileen isn’t a career politician, she’s a concerned, life-long Chicagoan who deeply loves our city and knows that it’s time to stand up and do something about it The big difference between Eileen and any of us, including her opponent, is her EXTENSIVE experience in the criminal justice system as a State’s Attorney, criminal defense attorney, trial court judge, and for the past 7 years, an appellate court judge for Illinois 😳 HUGE thanks to my good friends Claude Cimeus 🇭🇹 Landon & Jeff Shapack for hosting this event at Shapack Partners’s gorgeous 167 N Green building in Fulton Market on 2/24 If you’d like to hear from Eileen yourself and provide your support for her campaign, then please DM me for details about the fundraiser my colleagues Jenny Guzmán Ira Weiss Stuart Loren & I are hosting for her this Friday 3/1 WE ARE OUT OF TIME!!! If we don’t act now, our city will fail, I promise you, so please join me, my colleagues and the rest of our fellow concerned Chicagoans in supporting Eileen for our next Cook County State’s Attorney ❤️🙏👊

My fellow Chicagoans, our city is at the precipice We have been suffering through insidious crime for decades but over the past 8 years under our current Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s reign, we have fallen off a cliff There is no more time, no more mulligans, no more excuses: “We need to right the ship and we need to right the ship quickly.” Eileen O’Neill Burke It is WELL past time to get the adults back in the room and I’m here to tell you that the first adult we need is, without question, Eileen to replace Foxx, period I’m an outspoken proponent of Eileen, and although there are many reasons, this less than 2 minute video I took does an incredibly good job of explaining why, and directly from her own mouth, so please watch it My favorite part is when Eileen says: “And, he’s a nice man…I’m a terrible politician, but he’s a nice man.” I love this because I’m D-O-N-E with career politicians and NO politician would EVER call their opponent a “nice man” and mean it Eileen isn’t a career politician, she’s a concerned, life-long Chicagoan who deeply loves our city and knows that it’s time to stand up and do something about it The big difference between Eileen and any of us, including her opponent, is her EXTENSIVE experience in the criminal justice system as a State’s Attorney, criminal defense attorney, trial court judge, and for the past 7 years, an appellate court judge for Illinois 😳 HUGE thanks to my good friends Claude Cimeus 🇭🇹 Landon & Jeff Shapack for hosting this event at Shapack Partners’s gorgeous 167 N Green building in Fulton Market on 2/24 If you’d like to hear from Eileen yourself and provide your support for her campaign, then please DM me for details about the fundraiser my colleagues Jenny Guzmán Ira Weiss Stuart Loren & I are hosting for her this Friday 3/1 WE ARE OUT OF TIME!!! If we don’t act now, our city will fail, I promise you, so please join me, my colleagues and the rest of our fellow concerned Chicagoans in supporting Eileen for our next Cook County State’s Attorney ❤️🙏👊

Last year, we casually told our American friends, who have lived in Berlin for years, “We’re going to the celebration at the gate on New Year’s Eve!” They both stared at us, horrified. One of them said, “Celia, it’s truly post-apocalyptic. It’s like the Fourth of July, but a hundred times worse. You have no idea.” I looked at her, somewhat incredulously. “We’ve survived New York City on the Fourth of July. That was chaos. How bad can it be?” Oh, I was *so* wrong. To play it safe, we left the kids with my mom, who was visiting from South Carolina. My husband and I went alone. We arrived six hours early because I was determined to be as close as possible to the stage for Riverdance (and no, I’m not joking about this 🤣). Fireworks started soon after the performances ended… but not over the gate, as you’d expect. No, they were behind us. We had to turn around to even see them. As we left, I thought, “That wasn’t so bad!”—until we realized the roads were blocked and the police were essentially herding the crowd to another part of the city. “No big deal,” I said, “We’ll just walk to the nearest S-Bahn or U-Bahn station.” And that’s when the *real* chaos started. We walked, and suddenly it felt like we’d entered a very different reality. Fireworks went off in every direction. People were running through the streets, carrying fireworks in their hands and setting them off in the streets. Smoke filled the air, and the sound of popping fireworks was deafening (and constant). Every S-Bahn and U-Bahn station we passed was closed. So we just kept walking. And walking. We finally made it to Alexanderplatz, only to discover that many of the trains were disrupted or had intermittent service. Eventually, we made it to an U-Bahn station that would take us home. By then, we were starving. We found a döner stand that was still open and packed with people. I asked the guy behind the counter, “So, have you worked on New Year’s Eve before?” He smiled and said, “Of course. That’s why I stay open this late. Berlin stays awake all night to celebrate, and people are going to want lots of döner.” Wise man. *And* maybe the best fries I’ve had in Berlin. Or, you know, maybe I was just starving. We finally made it home well after 2 AM. My kids and mom were still awake. My mom, wide-eyed, asked, “WHAT is happening out there?!” And my kids were still pressed to the windows, hoping for more fireworks—two hours after midnight. Our legs were aching from hours off standing and walking, and I have a video of my mom hysterically laughing (which she would never let me share on social media) as we told her about our night and asked, “How many ibuprofen do you think we’ll need tomorrow?” In the end, we learned that New Year’s Eve in Berlin isn’t just a celebration—it’s a wild, exhausting adventure, where chaos, excitement, and a few too many fireworks make for a night you’ll never forget.

Most people’s summer escape across Europe itineraries are almost universally hijacked by the same handful of over-commercialized mega-cities. They queue for hours outside the Colosseum in Rome, brace themselves for the shoulder-to-shoulder scrums of Prague’s Charles Bridge, or accept inflated prices as a mandatory tax along the canals of Venice. While those grand monuments are essential cultural milestones, the true, creative heartbeat of contemporary European life unfolds when you break away from the commercial algorithms. If you want safety, culture, and amazing value, save this ultimate bucket list: 🇵🇱 1. Warsaw, Poland (The Complete Package) Hands down my number one! Warsaw is beautiful, safe, clean, affordable, modern, and incredibly livable. No other city in Europe combines quality of life and value for money better. 🇸🇮 2. Piran, Slovenia (The Slow Travel Dream) Probably the best place on Earth to slow down. Wake up right by the Adriatic Sea, grab a coffee, wander through the historic old town, eat fresh seafood, and completely forget what day it is. 🇭🇺 3. Budapest, Hungary (The Perfect Weekend) If someone asks me for the perfect European weekend trip, I always say Budapest! Stunning architecture, relaxing thermal baths, great food, and amazing value for money. 🇧🇦 4. Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina (The History Masterclass) You will learn more about European history here than anywhere else. The breathtaking mix of cultures, religions, and recent history makes it one of the most fascinating places on the continent. 🇲🇩 5. Chișinău, Moldova (The Big Surprise) One of Europe's least-visited capitals and a total hidden gem. Expect massive green parks, wide boulevards, an incredible local wine culture, and a unique charm most tourists never experience. 🇱🇻 6. Riga, Latvia (The Underrated Capital) Still so slept on! Riga offers stunning Art Nouveau architecture, an amazing quality of life, and pristine nature sitting right on its doorstep. 🇷🇴 7. Bucharest, Romania (The Grower) It might not be love at first sight, but give it time. The nightlife here is completely unmatched, the streets have raw character, and the more time you spend here, the more it grows on you! 🇨🇿 8. Brno, Czech Republic (The Authentic Vibe) Prague is incredible, but Brno feels way more authentic and livable. It has amazing café culture, high student energy, and a city that doesn't feel like it’s performing for tourists. 🇭🇷 9. Zadar, Croatia (The Crowd Escaper) All the beauty of Croatia's stunning coast without the crushing crowds. Expect mind-blowing sunsets, crystal-clear water, and a much slower, peaceful pace than Split or Dubrovnik. 🇩🇪 10. Nuremberg, Germany (The Bavarian Classic) A gorgeous city packed with a medieval old town, legendary beer gardens, and a super relaxed atmosphere. Bavaria is easily my favorite region in Germany! 🎥 lukepatrickh | IG

Q: Should startup founders be able to code? In the clip below, Naval Ravikant gives advice to a startup spending $25k outsourcing product development to external developers: “You guys should be coding from the start. Web and mobile startups are so competitive right now. You have to assume that anything you’re doing, there’s a team of 2-4 dedicated, hardcore hackers working 24/7 on something extremely similar.” He continues: “If you have this iteration loop where you have to submit something to someone else and they have to come back to you. Then you’re like ‘no, it wasn’t quite right’ because a lot of stuff was lost in translation, you’re going to get 1-2 cycles per day at best. Meanwhile, that other team is getting 20 cycles per day. It has gotten so intense now that non-coding founders and startups are having a really difficult time adding value at these early stages.” Of course there are some examples of non-technical founding teams building terrific companies (e.g. Craigslist). But they seem to be the exception rather than the rule. As Sam Altman puts it in a separate interview: “For a very long time, the classic co-founding team was one very strong business person and one very strong tech person… now it has shifted towards two really strong tech people. That works a lot of the time and may be better overall.” And I think the reason for this—as Naval points out—is that when you can build the product yourself, your iteration cycles become so much faster. Another quote from Sam Altman in a previous Startup Archive Answer on the importance of fast iteration cycles: “The cycle here is basically: talk to customer to understand pain point → build product to address that → get product in front of user → see what they do → repeat cycle. This cycle is how you iterate and improve. The law of compound growth being what it is: if you can get 2% better every iteration cycle, your iteration cycle is every four hours rather than every four weeks, and you compound that over the course of a few years, you’ll be in a very very different place. Make it one of your top goals to build one of the fastest iterating companies the world has ever seen.”

251108 Hongjoong interview for Dazed Korea | eng translation 💬 What inspired you to start Petit Coussin? 🐿 Actually, I’ve had a plan for quite a long time to create my own fashion show. One day, while looking at my childhood photos, I realized that the clothes I wore as a kid were really pretty. That made me think, “I should start my very first fashion show together with teen models full of dreams,” and that became the starting point. 💬 What does the name Petit Coussin mean? 🐿 I remembered a sign from a shop my mother used to have when I was little - it was called “Petit Coussin”, written in Korean. In French, “petit” means “small” and “coussin” means “pillow.” I was inspired by that - a “small pillow” where we can dream. So, I built this show around the meaning of a small pillow where dreams are born. 💬 I heard the collection consists of 24 outfits. What concept does Petit Coussin have? 🐿 I often dream about playing for 24 hours in places I love, like my favorite playgrounds or spaces that make me happy. So, the reason for 24 looks was to represent 24 hours - starting from 7 AM, moving through morning, daytime, evening, and ending at dawn. I designed the flow so that both the colors and textures of the outfits change accordingly. This show wasn’t created with the goal of selling clothes. Rather, I wanted to freely express my own taste and my mother’s taste from the clothes I wore as a child. I think that’s why there’s a lot of innocence from my childhood reflected in it. 💬 What does childhood mean to you? And as a designer, what philosophy did you want to express? 🐿 To me, childhood is a dream. Fashion, too, feels like a dream - because expressing myself through clothes, and creating something through them, truly feels dreamlike. I still live as if I’m dreaming every day, and since this first project was made with the theme of “dream,” I wanted to leave that as a message. As a fashion designer, I hope to create more dreamy fashion shows and dreamlike outfits in the future. 💬 What emotions do you hope the audience will feel through this collection? 🐿 Through this collection, I hope people can feel something beyond whether the clothes are pretty or fit their personal taste. Rather, I want them to see the sincerity in the process - the genuine effort behind everything. And when they see the result, I hope they’ll think, “Wow, I really can do anything.” Of course, I’m most excited for what’s ahead as ATEEZ’s Hongjoong, but I also hope people will look forward to me in many other creative fields as well. 💬 How would you define Petit Coussin in one sentence? 🐿 I would say, “I dreamed on a small pillow.” Since Petit Coussin expresses the dream I had on that small pillow, that’s how I’d like to describe it. 💬 What would you say to your younger self? And finally, can you tell us what kind of project you’d like to do next? 🐿 Honestly, I’d tell my younger self, “Try everything you want to do.” And I told the teen models the same thing - when they go out and walk, they can do everything they want. Through this experience, I’ve also started to think that if I get another opportunity in the future, it would be fun to collaborate and create with other artists or people who, like me, are trying something new. 🐿️ Thank you so, so much to all DAZED subscribers. This was Hongjoong from ATEEZ.
