Before "cancel culture" was a phrase, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg lived it. She was given a chilling, in-person warning from a high-level PR executive. The message was stark: A government agency was actively recruiting top-tier PR firms to build a public narrative against her. The goal? To label her "anti-vaccine." When she protested, pointing out that she had always prefaced her story by stating she was not anti-vaccine, the response was a cold, "Doesn't matter." The machinery was in motion. The media was on their side. They were coming for her with everything they had. Armed with faith, truth, and a South Side of Chicago resilience forged in an all-girls Catholic school, she wasn't scared by the smears. The words were just sticks and stones. The real blow was economic. As a single mother funding her son's recovery—speech therapy, ABA—the campaigns began to work. The phone calls started: jobs were pulled, campaigns were canceled. They weren't just attacking a persona; they were threatening her ability to heal her child. But a mother's love is an unstoppable force. She kept writing. She kept speaking. She refused to be erased. Now, with her son 22 and thriving, she is not just still here—she is stronger, more radiant, and more powerful than ever. This is a testament to the undeniable power of standing in your truth, no matter the forces arrayed against you. The system tried to cancel her. It failed. Her story is a masterclass in resilience.

R.F. Kuang has written seven books, won the Nebula Award for Best Novel, and trained at some of the world's top universities: Cambridge, Oxford, and Yale. Her wisdom-per-word ratio is also off the charts. Some highlights from our conversation: 1) Emotions are like colors. Mix them! Emotions are never one-dimensional. Bring together fear and courage, love and revulsion, joy and panic. This collision of feelings is closer to how emotion actually works. 2) Practice literary shapeshifting. Become a new person, a new persona, and a new type of author with every project. Do not confuse your habitual voice with your authentic voice: there is no single way of constructing sentences that must define you. Treat language as a fluid and flexible tool. 3) There's no correlation between how good writing feels in the moment and the quality of the product. We mistake effortlessness for genius, flow, or divine inspiration. So don't evaluate a day’s work by the pleasure of producing it. Judge whether the sentences escaped your pre-existing patterns and helped you think something through. 4) Good writing comes from being attentive to what's happening around you and writing with specificity about those observations, rather than relying on the theoretical. Throughout the day, ask: “Where is this feeling sitting in my body? How am I physically responding to this?” Those questions force you beyond the abstract label and toward something more specific than the reader could easily imagine for themselves. 5) Use your zero draft to discover the beating heart of the story, not to prove that you can already write it. Research, brainstorm, follow your nose, and collect whatever feels surprising or “crunchy.” At this stage, coherence is less valuable than emotional resonance. 6) Draft in layers. Let the early draft remain “balls on sticks.” Add the setting, architecture, faces, furniture, and drape colors in later passes. A person’s visual appearance is often the least interesting thing about them. 7) Use the outsider’s perspective to make language strange again. Nabokov could play, stretch, and innovate with English because he was fascinated by the oddities and opportunities of particular word combinations. 8) Be suspicious of “volunteer words for volunteer thoughts.” Volunteer words are the phrases that offer themselves immediately because they are already floating around in your head. They repeat common discourse and carry ideas that are easy to digest; you are filling the page from your pre-existing dataset rather than articulating something you have actually observed or thought through. 9) If you're stuck, put the subconscious to work. Open a blank document, type a title, word, or phrase, then save and close it. Return after the problem has had time to work on you in the background. 10) Serious writing doesn't require solemnity. Soaring observations about history or human nature can sit beside potty jokes. 11) AI can offer readily available words for readily available thoughts, but readily available thoughts do not push boundaries. It may reproduce impressive human patterns, but “you won’t get your next Pale Fire from an LLM.” 12) Thinking about the audience as you write a first draft is a death sentence. The moment you start writing while looking over your shoulder, you stop taking the story where it needs to go.

Elon Musk was offered the chance to have his own product destroyed on camera, unscripted, and he took it in under a second. Musk: "Fuck yeah, let's do it." Then they walked out to the garage. Rogan drew an 80 pound bow on the side of a Cybertruck, cameras still running. A 545 grain arrow at roughly 275 feet per second into cold rolled stainless. Sparks off the panel. The broadhead flattened. The arrow blew apart. Rogan: "Barely scratched it." That panel is the same steel he picked for Starship after walking away from carbon fiber. A man builds a rocket, wraps a truck in it, then hands you a weapon and stands there. There's no paint on it. No clear coat, no filler, nothing between you and the material. That stainless is structure, not decoration. Nobody offers up their own product like that unless it has already been tested where nobody was watching. Most people saw a stunt. What they watched was a man putting a claim in front of physics, which has no opinion of him and could have humiliated him live. Almost nothing else works that way now. We have built an entire civilization out of statements that can never be checked. Decks, dashboards, mission statements, narratives engineered so that no single moment can ever prove them wrong. An unfalsifiable claim isn't a lie. Lies can be caught. This is a shape that looks like a claim and never has to meet anything. The supply of those just went vertical. Words cost nothing to produce now, at infinite volume, by machine. Anything in infinite supply prices to zero. So what still has a bid. Only what survived contact with something indifferent to it. Steel that got hit. Code that shipped. A number audited by reality instead of by a slide. Nothing indifferent to you has ever lied to you. Only the things that want something from you can. Trust has never been anything but exposure to failure, witnessed. Every bridge you've driven over was somebody agreeing to be wrong in public. Every engine, every vaccine, every building still standing. The entire inherited world was built by people who could have been destroyed in front of everyone and stood there anyway. Most of us have quietly optimized ourselves in the other direction. A resume nobody audits. A persona with no failure mode. A version of yourself that only exists where it can't be tested. That isn't a character flaw. It's what the last twenty years paid for. The payout schedule just changed. Proof is about to be the scarcest asset in the economy, and the one thing that can't be generated. It has to be earned once, in contact with something that doesn't care. Nobody controls access to that. You don't need scale or permission. You need one true thing you'd stand beside while somebody takes a shot at it. He stood there and let the arrow come. The arrow came apart. Everything made only of words does.

Roy Keane: “It’s just an act…” 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Below is perhaps one of the most insightful clips I’ve watched related to the psychology of adult elite sport (the professional level of sport). Tucked away…silently…in a BBC interview quite some years ago. A small section of an interview with Roy Keane, one of the Premier League’s greatest players… “It’s an act. Of course I had self-doubts, but I kept an act up. The skinhead. A few sendings off. I fear nothing. Some sort of machine. Which is nonsense. You act, don’t you!” Roy Keane was a great actor. He acted when he took to the pitch. He had, what I call a ‘Game Face’. I wrote about my mental technique of ‘Game Face’ in my first book Soccer Tough (a book that I’m proud to say Gareth Bale called life changing). And I expanded on ‘Game Face’ in Soccer Tough II. A ‘Game Face’ is a term I use to describe a player’s best ‘mental state’ and ideal ‘competitive persona’. It’s a pictorial metaphor that helps players think about, imagine, and then self-regulate around who they want to be in the heat of battle and how they want to execute their actions. “I’m my Game Face no matter what. I say it, be it, do it, act it…embody it, enact it” To bring this alive I’ll provide some examples… I spent five years working with someone considered one of the best defenders in the world. He had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Dominant & Relentless’. These last two years working with Feyenoord as they won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, one of the players had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Positive Upbeat Benzema’ When England played in the final of the rugby World Cup in 2019, one of the players had a ‘Game Face’ of ‘Aggressive Energetic Lion’ (I was lead psych prior to the World Cup). You see, these are pictorial metaphors consisting of action-based words, often combined with a model player or concept such as an animal. Metaphors are wonderful linguistic tools for self-regulation, and can help human beings execute actions at a high intensity level, as well as engage in a competition with approach behaviour (on the front-foot, energy forward). Ultimately, sports competitors would do well to be great actors when they need to be. This doesn’t mean there’s anything inauthentic about their style of play. On the contrary, a ‘Game Face’ is robust in that it offers a description of ‘who they are’ and ‘who they need to be’ when kick-off arrives. It offers a dynamic descriptor of ‘who they are’ and ‘who they need to be’ in-game when the pressure is on. A ‘Game Face’ is a mix of authentic and inauthentic mental (and personality) states that enable players to adapt and flex when they need to. Roy Keane had a ‘Game Face’. He was an actor when he needed to be. In his words, it helped him find ‘the zone’. A ‘Game Face’ is the most powerful technique I’ve devised over the years…one that enables me to help players take charge of themselves and take control no matter what. To dominate their mindset and own their mindset no matter what… …no matter what!
