Most people avoid cringe. I just have a really high tolerance for it. Because discomfort usually means growth. If you’re afraid to look foolish, you’ll miss the shot. Full convo with on The Knowledge Project (The Knowledge Project) is up now.

@farnamstreet So much advantage in life comes from being willing to look like an idiot for 5 minutes. Listen and learn from this amazing conversation:

@ShaneAParrish @farnamstreet Love this @harleyf. Being able to embrace cringe is basically a founder superpower.

@ShaneAParrish @farnamstreet @nayafia agrees. Her book Antimemetics is a must read.

@ShaneAParrish @farnamstreet “Being afraid to look foolish” is usually a byproduct of lack of confidence, however, either can precede the other. If you have confidence you aren’t afraid of looking foolish, but if you don’t have self confidence, and take the leap (vulnerability), it can build confidence.

This is the most personal conversation I’ve ever recorded. has known me for years. So when we sat down for The Knowledge Project (The Knowledge Project), we didn’t just talk business - we talked family, upbringing, energy, and what really drives me. Full episode drops tomorrow. Hope it resonates.

#PeterDinklage says it “was not really natural” for his younger #GameOfThrones castmates to have all their mistakes become “public knowledge.” “The further I get away from it, the more I realize it was a weird way of growing up,” #KitHarington says. “Because you’re still growing up in your twenties.” Dinklage adds: “It’s the most you’re growing up, I think.” Stream the full #ActorsOnActors episode now on the CNN app:

You can create a Grok Project, have it search for relevant research papers, and attach the good ones to your project. Because Grok 4 can parse PDFs, you can interact with the model, and it will have direct knowledge of your research.

This is probably one of the greatest lessons for life. "If you’re having fun, then you’re dangerous, right? Then you’re hard to compete with. You don’t want to go up against the person who’s having a good time doing it because if it feels like a hassle or a chore, that’s the person who gives up when it gets difficult. But the person who’s having a great time at the start is much more likely to stick with it when it gets hard." (James Clear on The Knowledge Project)

Players always talk about moving on to the next shot. I asked Chet Holmgren how hard it is to do that in the moment and how he did it tonight: “I just feel like never be afraid of failure. If you miss a shot, you miss a shot. But you’re not gonna never shoot a shot again in your career. You’re gonna have to shoot a shot again at some point, so why not now?”

Bismillah Ar-rahmaan Ar-Raheem. It is with great humility that I present to you Iqraa, a project that I've been working on for a couple of weeks now with the sole mission of making knowledge more accessible to Muslims in this digital era. Without doubt, trying to learn about Islam can be daunting and difficult if you don't know where to start, or tedious because there's just so much information on the internet, with that in mind, I sought out to build this as a means to bridge the gap between Muslims and the knowledge of Islam. I ask Allah to accept it from me as an act of Ibaadah and that it becomes something adopted far and wide insha'Allah Visit: to get started.

.Naval: You define wealth in a beautiful way. You talk about wealth as a set of physical transformations that we can affect. So as a society it becomes very clear that knowledge leads directly to wealth creation for everybody. A given individual can obviously affect physical transformations proportional to the resources available to them—but much more proportional to the knowledge available to them. Knowledge is a huge force multiplier. You then define resources as the thing that you combine with knowledge to create wealth. New knowledge allows you to use new things as resources and discard old things that maybe we’re running out of. There are lots of examples of how we’ve done that in the past. For example, in energy we’ve gone from wood to coal to oil to nuclear. But then people say, “Now we’re out of ideas. Now we’re caught up. Now we’re done. There aren’t going to be new ideas, and now we have to freeze the frame and conserve what we have.” The counter to that is, “No, we’ll create new knowledge and have new resources. Don’t worry about the old ones.” Well they say, “If you’re going to have new resources, if you can’t think of them now, it’s not real.” This now gets into the realm of people demanding that if you’re going to claim that new knowledge will be created, you have to name that knowledge now. Otherwise it’s not real. But that seems like a Catch-22. David Deutsch: It does, and it’s a bad argument. I don’t want to claim that the knowledge will be created. We’re fallible; we may not create it. We may destroy ourselves. We may miss the solution that’s right under our nose, so that when the snailiens come from another galaxy and look at us, they’ll say, “How can it possibly be that they failed to do so-and-so when it was right in front of them?” That could happen. I can’t prove or argue that it won’t happen. What I always argue, though, is that we have what it takes. We have everything that it takes to achieve that. If we don’t, it’ll be because of bad choices we have made, not because of constraints imposed on us by the planet or the solar system. Naval: It will be by anti-rational memes that restrict the creation of knowledge and the growth of knowledge. David Deutsch: Maybe. Or maybe it’ll be by well-intentioned errors, which nobody could see why they were errors. Again, it doesn’t take malevolence to make mistakes. Mistakes are the normal condition of humans. All we can do is try to find them. Maybe not destroying the means of correcting errors is the heart of morality; because if there is no way of correcting errors, then sooner or later one of those will get us. Naval: Don’t destroy the means of error correction is the base of morality. I love that. I think about places like North Korea where you can’t have elections and a revolution is very difficult because the gang in charge is armed to the teeth and they’ve destroyed the means of political error correction for a long time. That is a case where humanity is trapped in a local minimum, and it’s very hard to climb out of that hole. If too much of the world falls into that mindset, then we as a species may just stagnate because we’ve lost our biggest advantage. We’ve lost our biggest discovery, which was the ability to make new discoveries.

You’re not stuck because life is against you, you’re stuck because you keep confirming the same thought: “I’m not enough” means -> you don’t act -> nothing changes -> “I’m not enough” And the loop just… continues. Most people never question it, they just live inside it. If you break the thought, you break the pattern. Full video is up on Youtube.

The Treasury Secretary is emphasizing financial literacy — and it’s about time. This is one of the most powerful tools any American can have. Real leadership means empowering people with the knowledge to build a better future. Glad to see it finally getting attention.

If you’re in California and you’re not pissed about the high-speed rail project, then you’re not paying attention. Five years after the date it was supposed to be completed, we haven’t even begun laying track. It is now estimated to be done 20 years from now, if funding holds up, and it will be $100 billion over budget. That’s not accounting for any inflation that may occur in the next 20 years. We need to end the high-speed rail project NOW!

I added a Knowledge Graph to Cursor using MCP. You gotta see this working! Knowledge graphs are a game-changer for AI Agents, and this is one example of how you can take advantage of them. How this works: 1. Cursor connects to Graphiti's MCP Server. Graphiti is a very popular open-source Knowledge Graph library for AI agents. 2. Graphiti connects to Neo4j running locally. Now, every time I interact with Cursor, the information is synthesized and stored in the knowledge graph. In short, Cursor now "remembers" everything about our project. Huge! Here is the video I recorded.
