Marc Andreessen explains why he prioritizes satisfaction over happiness “I don’t believe in balance. I think people are wired differently so it’s hard to generalize this kind of thing. But I am much happier and more satisfied when I’m fully committed to something. So I’m very much in favor... of imbalance.” Marc continues: “I don’t think happiness is the thing to strive for. I think satisfaction is the thing… Satisfaction is a deeper thing which is like having found a purpose and fulfilling it. Being useful. That I’m fully delivering on the gifts that I’ve been given, that I’m net making the world better, that I’m contributing to the people around me, and that I can look back and say: ‘Wow. That was hard, but it was worth it.’ I think that generally seems to lead people to a better state than pursuit of pleasure and happiness.” And on the relationship of money and satisfaction: “I think Elon would be a great example of this. He’s a guy who from the day he started making money at all just plows it into the next thing. I think money is definitely an enabler for satisfaction. Let’s put it this way: money applied to happiness leads people down very dark paths. Very destructive avenues. Money applied to satisfaction, I think is a real tool.” Source: Lex Fridman (Jun 2023)show more

Not that would Rich people would now the difference between such Happiness & Satisfaction ? 🤔 Who could afford such trials?

agree with this a lot. Ive found happiness kind of just shows up as a side effect when youre actually building something, chasing it directly never really works

We do not believe in balance. We believe in one notification that says hey.

Satisfaction lasts because it comes from doing work you believe matters. Happiness can change by the hour. Purpose gives the hard days a reason.

Committing fully to innovation-driven ventures delivers deeper satisfaction than chasing balance or fleeting happiness.

Sandro Mamukelashvili on what his priorities are if he decides to become a free agent this summer: “I think a lot of people don’t know this, but last year, I got offered a lot of money to play for other teams.” “To me, the main priority is: I’m a basketball player, I’m a competitor, I want to win, and I want to be part of something.” “This summer will be the same thing, kind of understanding where I fit best, and what role I can play. Hopefully, it’s going to be here.” “I really want to be back. I love Toronto, I love the people, I love the organization, and coach Darko. I think he was a guy who gave me a chance to go out there and be myself.” “I really believe that there is so much more I can do and better I can get.” “I think the main thing is, understanding that I belong here, and I can be an NBA player, NBA rotational guy. I just want to keep it that way, and I want the best possible way to go out there and get better next year.”

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

Joe Rogan says he called Theo Von to apologize for his comments last week where he voiced concern for Von’s mental health. Rogan admitted he did a huge “disservice” to Von and it came across as though he was “throwing his friend under the bus.” ROGAN: “Then it comes out, like Theo has to defend it and then I called him up and I said, dude, I’m so sorry.” “I didn’t even think of that, and that’s very selfish of me. I didn’t think that you would have to respond. I didn’t even think of it.” “Theo is one of my favorite people...the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt that guy and the last thing I would ever want to do is say something that would have people think about him in a negative way.” “Which I’m sure I did. This was one of the reasons that I wanted to make this video and I wanted to apologize.” “I felt like a huge disservice to my friend and also to people listening.”

I think it’s safe to say that 2025 was a very interesting year. And I think I see it very differently than most. You probably saw a lot of headlines about AI and tech stocks. While that was a big story, I don’t think it was the most important thing. The big story in the investment world was the depreciation of the value of fiat money and how that impacted the price of gold. That’s how 2025 looked through my eyes, at least. I’m curious to hear if you see things the same way.

Chappell Roan delivered a speech at the Resonator Awards in LA, saying, “The only thing that matters is community.” “I feel very uncomfortable being told that I’m a good person. I think that has to do with some type of Christian guilt or something. But it’s cool when people you really look up to think that you’re a good person or that you’re doing good things. I only know what to do because I see other people in my life doing good things and listening to trans people who need representation and money for healthcare and rent. I kind of think that it’s just an artist’s—and anybody who has money—it’s kind of your duty to give it away. I don’t really know what else there is to harmony other than giving.”

DEADLINE: And I feel like anytime there’s a big queer project like this, it seems inevitable that people are going to be speculating about your sexuality. Or just accusing you of gay baiting. How does it feel having to separate your personal from the professional? STORRIE: I think there’s so much energy that is coming at us with the rise of this show, and for me, at least, I think it’s important for me to have a little bit of separation from the character in the show. All I can really say is that I love Ilya, I love the community that this is a part of and that this caters to. I think that’s so much more interesting and valuable than doing just another run-of-the-mill, straight story. Who I date, who I sleep with, who this, that, whatever, I’m gonna keep that to myself. But regardless, I think this is super important, and I think also on top of that, it’s just really cool. 🔗 Read more here:

How much do I want to systematically give? Wealthy people who give are the ones that have fun with money.” “Spend some of it… I’m not going to suggest you stack it all in a cave somewhere but don’t let it be a large percentage. Then, invest a percentage for the next generation, and create income to do even yet more giving.”

Chelsea Green On her Money in the Bank fall: “Seriously, that ladder is high, it’s very high, because I think it was a 20-foot ladder — dear life as I’m going up it trying to look all like I’m a badass, and I’m like, Dear God, please let this be over. I want to go home. I need a glass of wine. But it was all worth it. I knew what that moment was going to be. I died on that hill getting that moment because the boys tried to take it away from me.” “The boys tried to have that exact same moment. So we bargained. We gave Chad Gable a spot, and I took my spot. Also, and this might not be that popular of a thing to say, but also, IYO was going to be on the ladder with me. I said no. I came up with the spot. I wanted the spot, and I didn’t think going through it a second time with somebody else was going to be as impactful....So I wanted the moment, and I fought for it to be just me, and I fought for it to be the very, very, very last spot before Tiffany won.” (Chris Van Vliet)

Money is debt, and debt is money. It confuses a lot of people when I say that, but the mechanics are fairly straightforward. A debt instrument is just a promise to deliver money in the future. What that money is worth determines the value of what you’re holding. That’s why currency valuation is so critical, and why I think people need to pay more attention to it when thinking about the broader economy. Nikhil Kamath

That I can always look back at that moment and think: ‘Okay, that existed, that happened, and once again, I was able to materialize that moment.’ And it connected me with so many people. It truly helped me connect with so many people around the world. It’s crazy — I think there was a before and after for me with this album, Motomami. I think, in general, it was a very explosive moment. It was an expansive moment. A beautiful moment. I felt so much openness within myself. I was able to experience so much in so many different ways.

.Erik Voorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

.Erik Voorhees: It’s actually good, from the Trojan horse perspective, that Bitcoin was traceable enough for traditional institutions to tolerate it. “When Bitcoin came out, everyone called it private, thought of it as private. It was referred to as anonymous in every news story. And in some ways, it is very private and very anonymous. But the truth is that it’s also extremely trackable and traceable. It is not private in reality. And the question is, should it have been from the start? And at first I thought, yes, it should have been more private. And that was a mistake in its design. However, I think if Bitcoin had been anonymous truly from the start, like a Zcash or a Monero, it would have had such antagonism from the state. I don’t know that the state could have snuffed it out, but they would have tried much harder. And I think it’s actually good, from the Trojan horse metaphor perspective, that it was traceable enough that the traditional institutions could tolerate it. They’ve never liked it, but they could at least tolerate it because there is some traceability. And that has allowed Bitcoin to grow. And I think in its shadow, that other crypto assets are actually anonymous is very healthy. The strength of cryptocurrency as a concept in society, I think, is served best when Bitcoin itself is not perfectly private, but other assets are. That is a very difficult thing, I think, for the state to combat. And that decentralization of attributes is really, really crucial. So, yeah, I’m very glad that there are other coins that are private. I want there to be more of them, and I want them to be more popular. And I think it’s okay that Bitcoin itself is not.”

“There’s a concept in Judaism called Lashon Hara, which means evil speech. The idea is that speaking poorly of another is almost the moral equivalent to murder, because you can’t really repair it. You can apologize, but you can’t repair it. Another component of that is that it does as much damage to the person saying the words than it does to the person receiving them. And I think about that a lot. I talk about this concept with my kids a lot, and I’m not willing to pay the price of that fleeting and momentary satisfaction of sort of swinging back because I think it would be too expensive for my soul. And that’s how I made peace with it, because I think that feels more true for me.” -Ivanka Trump explaining to Lex Fridman how she’s handled the barrage of attacks aimed her way over the last decade.

“It would be nice to think that I wasn’t just a driver in a time of success for the team. I’d like to think I was a driver that helps the success of the team. “Even if I don’t become a world champion or none of that happens, I think just being known as someone who went out racing as hard as they could, did everything they could, to try and be the best, but also in the right way – that’s an important thing for me as well. “I think just being a true racer, a hard racer, but someone that was very committed to the team and tried to make McLaren a better team.” Why am I getting emotional? 🥲 [via McLaren]
