Jordan Peterson on Elon Musk: "My mind is a storm… I don’t think most people would want to be me" "There was a recent interview with Elon Musk where he said something... 'My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me. They may think they would want to be me... but they don't. They don't know. They don't understand.'" Peterson explains: "One of the downsides to high-level genius is what you might describe as hypermania." On verbal fluency and creativity: "Here's a simple test. Write down as many four-letter words as you can in three minutes that begin with 'T.' Or write down as many words as you can in three minutes that begin with 'S.' There's quite a powerful correlation between the sheer number of words you produce and your lifetime creative achievement... especially in the artistic and verbal domains." He distinguishes: "That's different than vocabulary. Vocabulary is how many words you understand. Fluency is how many words you can produce in a given amount of time." The variance is staggering: "People vary to a degree you can hardly imagine. Some people... if you get them to do the four-letter test in three minutes... they'll write down 12 words. Some will write down 150. The ones writing down 150... their minds are going at a hypomanic rate. They're just thinking five times as fast. Without any remission whatsoever." On when it goes too far: "When that gets completely out of control, you have someone who's manic. There's nothing fun about manic. That's where the word 'maniac' comes from. Someone who's manic has a thousand different plans... each of which are one sentence long... that they're hyper-enthusiastic about. They'll spend every cent of their money pursuing them. And things just go immediately to hell." He applies it: "That's the outer limit of pathology on the creative front. Someone like Musk who's clearly a genius... that's what he's contending with in his internal landscape. I'm not saying he's manic because I see no signs of that. But someone that creative is on that edge." On minds that move too fast: "Take someone like Ben Shapiro. It's very interesting to talk to Ben... Russell Brand is the same way. Shapiro speaks more rapidly than anyone I ever met. But if you're with him, you see very clearly that he's probably thinking five times that fast. And that's a lot." Peterson shares his own experience: "When I was writing Maps of Meaning... my first book... I had a very difficult time shutting off my mind. I was obsessed with that book. I was writing about 3 hours a day. Then I was thinking about the material for like 12 hours. And the thoughts came way faster than thinking. They probably came about as fast as I can read... about 1,200 words a minute. It was just nonstop thought for 16 hours a day." How he coped: "That's part of the reason I started lifting weights. If I was lifting heavy... thinking at 1,200 words a minute while I've got 100 pounds on my back... it was enough to shut it down. It was also one of the reasons I drank. That was another thing that would shut it off." On the price of genius: "The price that people pay to be the person they admire is such an interesting frame. 'My mind is a storm. I don't think most people would want to be me.' The price you would have to pay in order to be me is not one you would want to pay." The interviewer pushes back: but you're one of the richest men on the planet, you get to release bulletproof cars and put rockets in space... Peterson: "Yeah, but what about all the baggage? He also appears to me to be hyper-conscientious. Musk isn't just a creative genius... he's also an extremely conscientious engineer. Really conscientious engineers have very interesting minds. When they understand something... they understand how to build it out of atoms. They understand it at every single level." On the rare combination: "Musk appears to me to be someone who's this rare combination of hyper-creative but also hyper-conscientious. And I know he works all the time." The interviewer asks: does that hypertrophied executive function help wrangle some of the diffuse creative energy? Peterson: "Yes. Definitely. Eric Weinstein is a good example... Eric is unbelievably creative but he's not particularly conscientious. I think he found an occupation where that works extremely well... he worked with Peter Thiel for quite a long time as his idea man." He contrasts: "Musk is hyper-creative and as far as I can tell hyper-conscientious. The conscientiousness does focus it. Lots of creative people aren't conscientious. There's no correlation between creativity and conscientiousness." The math: "If you're the most creative person in a thousand... and you're the most conscientious person in a thousand... you're one person in a million. Musk is probably more like one person in 100 million. Maybe more. Maybe a billion."

🔥 💣 I’ve decided to “fire” myself after 14 years as CEO of CB Insights I'll still be working 180% at CBI but now in the role of Founder & Executive Chairman. In this role, my focus shifts to customer conversations, product, content & partnerships. One area I'll be spending a isht ton of time on is generative AI. The video below highlights the AI-driven research analyst we’ve been working on. And this is just the start more here on Analyst >> For those interested in “the why” behind this move, below are my comments to our team from our All Hands last week. Note: I'll intro CBI's new CEO tmw - his official 1st day --ALL HANDS-- Earlier this morning, I sent an email about my vision for the product from 2017. It relates to the news that I will share with you this AM. And that is that I have decided to "fire" myself as CEO and will be transitioning to the role of founder & exec chairman. Why? For 2 reasons: 1. Zone of genius 2. Delivering on the 2017 sci-fi vision 1st - Let's talk about zone of genius Talking to customers, hearing about their challenges and translating that to what we can build to make them supernatural is what I love. It’s where my "zone of genius" is As we’ve grown, however, I’m spending more time outside this zone If CBI is an organism, the early days required spending all my time outside the organism talking to customers, building dope isht for them, getting more customers & then building more dope isht. Rinse & repeat. It was 'simple' As the organism has grown, I've had to live "inside the organism" more focused on operations & management - 1:1s, annual planning, process mgmt, etc. These are incredibly important to scale a company. They are, however, not where my strengths and interests lie. I like the unknowns & novelty of what living outside the organism brings. And so I wanted to find a way to get back to those things. That’s the zone-of-genius bit. Now let’s turn to the sci-fi vision That vision really wasn’t possible. Until now. In Nov ‘22, chatGPT was an 'oh isht' moment. Since then, I’ve been fully red-pilled on GAI. With it, we can now actually deliver on that 2017 vision. Only 6 years later :) And so it’s go-time! I’m incredibly excited about what this will mean for our customers, the company and our team as it will enable us to: * Invest dramatically in product innovation * Open up new career opportunities & pathways for you all * Bring people together in person more often Where will I be focused? My job in the near term is to help onboard and integrate the new CEO. The areas you’ll still me involved in are: * Customer conversations -- #1 thing. * Research & content -- Writing the newsletter & other content w/ the team * Product -- Pushing our GAI agenda. * Partnerships I am not stepping off the field onto the sidelines. I am merely taking another position which is better for our customers and CBI. Let me close by saying thank you to you all for your continued hard work and dedication. Now, LFG!

#ZeeNuNew Karma is real…good or bad bcs God’s always fair. It’s been 5 years, no matter how hard ppl try to speak badly, goodness always comes back to them a thousand times more. They’re both lucky to found each other. It’s not just N as Z’s heaven’s apology. ZP is also God’s gift to Nyu Z was ready to quit, and N had just debuted. N is the only one Z chose, and turns out he became the one who brightens his world every day. And Z also stayed by Nyu’s side from day one…always there, guiding, accompany him in every step until this very point. Like Z said, it wasn’t the world that brought them together, the world stayed still and they who found each other. “If God lets you meet your person, it’ll happen at the right time.” Nyu is Zee’s sunshine, and Zee is Nyu sunshine’s protector, two beautiful souls who healed each other. What they have is pure, the kind of love that warms the soul. They fell for each other bcs they went through everything together, worked side by side, and grew side by side. It makes perfect sense why Z says N is more than just faen. Honestly, working with ur partner is hard, not everyone can do that. Beyond love, they need trust, understanding, and a bond strong enough to carry both their work and their real lives. That’s why they have a love no one else could ever understand. And what could be more real and realistic than this? Karma may be a bitch, but the good karma that surrounds them says everything about who they are 🥹💖

WATCH: Here was how President Trump concluded his eulogy of Lindsey Graham... “I always cherish the memories of our golf games, and only because of his really — and I will say this memorial service — it’s so hard to say a memorial service for Lindsey. It’s hard to say, but I’ll admit that one time Lindsey Graham and Annika Sorenstam actually beat me and Gary Player together. Can you believe that? Annika played very well that day, actually. But right to the end, Lindsey carried in his golf bag the putter that once belonged to his dad and he carried it with him, with class and with a ring that was so beautiful of his mother. And they were laying right at his bedside the night he died. They were there. He had them with him at all times.” “From that pool hall where his parents raised him to the halls of the United States Senate, where he was respected and loved, the son of South Carolina became one of the most important men in the most important country on Earth. In a city where politicians often become jaded and cynical, Lindsey Graham never lost the old-fashioned American idealism that brought him to the highest levels of government and life. He took his duty seriously without taking himself too seriously. He was unwavering in his principles, but always willing to listen. He always wanted to listen, and one thing about Lindsey that we all know, he never quit. You wanted him to quit. You waited for him to quit, but he would never quit.” “Above all, Lindsey Graham loved America and he believed in the American people. If you shared that view, you had a friend in Lindsey. If you didn’t share it, there was no fiercer or more constant opponent. Our nation needs more men and women like that great person sitting, laying wherever he may be. I think I know where he is and I think he’s up there. I think he’s watching us. I’m pretty sure of it.” “Scripture tells us that blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life. For 71 years, Lindsey Graham was strong and steadfast as a brother, a senator, a warrior, and a patriot. He withstood every last test, every single test that you can go through and every trial, and now he wears the crown of life in Heaven, reunited with his parents and reunited with His Lord. I end by saying something very, very special. Lindsey, we love you. God bless you. We will always be with you. And you were very, very special.”

[Trans] Ham Youtuber ATH TikTok 🫶🏻 🧑🏻‍🦱: Today I want to talk about N’Win Metawin as one of the shareholders of ONEE. He holds around 14 million shares, which makes him rank number 10. I’ve been observing the ONEE report for a while. His name didn’t appear in 2023, but I believe N’Win had been gradually collecting shares and the percentage just hadn’t reached the top 10 yet. His name started to appear in 2024, ranked number 10 with 13 million shares as of January 3, 2025. As of now, he holds 14 million shares, worth about 34 million baht. What I really want to highlight is that he’s a very capable and talented person with a strong vision. He works hard to earn money and also runs his own businesses like #souri, #Velencebkk, and #cosie and there are likely more to come in the future. He’s an icon, a role model, and he’s worked across many areas in the entertainment industry. He has spread his funds across different channels, just like he mentioned in an interview. It’s a great principle, especially for someone who studied economics. He has spread out his portfolio. His family is also in business, so it’s like this if you have 100 baht, you might invest 50% in business, 10-20% in stocks, and put the rest into things like gold, crypto, or real estate. We have to admit that he’s incredibly capable. He only gained recognition as a rising star not long ago, but he already stands out so much. He clearly has a solid plan for managing his assets. His investment in ONEE is a long-term investment and earns dividend income. Based on his current shares, he’ll receive around 3 million baht annually in dividends. He must see potential in ONEE, and with GMMTV continuing to grow, it seems like he sees the bigger picture. He truly deserves admiration as a young artist with such a far-sighted vision, who only just graduated not long ago. His fans will not be disappointed in him. I was really impressed by how smart and well-spoken he was when he talked about his shares. Let’s stay tuned to see how many more ONEE shares he’ll buy in the future. 😊 📌 #winmetawin Winmetawin

— A message to the partner 🩵🫸🏻💌 💜 𓂃 🜸 Thapfah Kittipokin, M.D. Deputy Hospital Director Inthu, Tarotist | ปิดรับดูดวงชั่วคราว (ลาพักใจ) 🔮 MELA WITH SEA #MelaSpecialTimexSea 👩🏻‍🦱: You can talk about your partner. Do you want to tell him something? 🩵: Well…hehe 😁😁 🩵: I just want to thank him for sticking through everything together, for all the struggles and fighting alongside me. And I’m really happy to say that my Phi Chai is such a sweet person—he’s incredibly kind, very much so. No matter what the situation is, he’s always the one to rush in and take charge, looking out for me from behind. Sometimes, there are things behind the scenes that the fans might not know, but I notice it through his actions. He might not always say it, but the way he takes care of things deeply touches my heart. 🗣️: Don’t cry! Don’t cry! 🩵: Who’s crying? I’m not! 👩🏻‍🦱: Have you ever told him that? 🩵: I have never. ☺️ 👩🏻‍🦱: Because you feel shy to say it. It’s okay, today, the fans will deliver this to him instead. They’ve recorded it already. 🩵: I’ll leave this with you, then. I hope Hia takes care of his health, especially since he’s been working hard as he is also filming the series of MarkOhm. It seems like it’s been really exhausting time for him. Anyway, keep fighting na! I’m always here cheering you on. 👩🏻‍🦱: Aww, that’s so lovely!

Do you want to tell him something? 🩵: Well…hehe 😁😁 🩵: I just want to thank him for sticking through everything together, for all the struggles and fighting alongside me. And I’m really happy to say that my Phi Chai is such a sweet person—he’s incredibly kind, very much so. No matter what the situation is, he’s always the one to rush in and take charge, looking out for me from behind. Sometimes, there are things behind the scenes that the fans might not know, but I notice it through his actions. He might not always say it, but the way he takes care of things deeply touches my heart. 🗣️: Don’t cry! Don’t cry! 🩵: Who’s crying? I’m not! 👩🏻‍🦱: Have you ever told him that? 🩵: I have never. ☺️ 👩🏻‍🦱: Because you feel shy to say it. It’s okay, today, the fans will deliver this to him instead.

At the BNB Chain hackathon, CZ 🔶 BNB made several very important points about AI trading (Everything in parentheses is my own view and judgment.) He first said that AI will be involved in trading everywhere. Trading itself is already a huge market: there are 300 million users on Binance alone, and if you add the decentralized ecosystems, that number is not small either. In such a mass-market environment, many different trading strategies can work, with countless different coins, different projects, and different ways to play. But there is a big problem here: building commercial AI trading platforms for retail users is actually very hard. If a trading strategy works very well for one person, once a billion people start using the same strategy, that strategy “might still work, or might stop working.” Take copy trading / follow trading as an example: if you buy first and everyone follows you, the first buyer will perform very well, but the last person to follow may not end up with good results. So, with the exact same strategy and the exact same copy logic, the outcomes can be completely different for different people. (On top of that, every strategy also has its own capital capacity limits.) Teams that can really build strong AI are, with high probability, going to trade with their own money. In today’s world, money itself is already somewhat like a “commodity”; many people have a lot of capital, and it’s actually not that hard to raise funds. If you truly have an algorithm that can make a lot of money, it’s not hard to get money and run your own book. There is really only one situation where you would sell this algorithm to mass-market users: for example, if you charge a $10 monthly subscription and can sell it to one million users, then your $10 million monthly subscription revenue is higher than the profit you could make by trading the strategy yourself. (Here this touches one of our earlier theses: as training AI models becomes relatively easier and the supply of models increases, model companies have more incentive to open-source. By analogy, as the production process of trading strategies is increasingly simplified by AI and the supply of strategies explodes, traders will have stronger incentives to monetize by expanding their influence in other words, by “open-sourcing” their strategies.) Of course, CZ did not say that this model can never work. Another path is to build an AI trading platform that lets users tune different AI algorithms, or very easily assemble their own structures and strategies, so that what each person ends up running is different and better tailored to themselves. Some people will make money, some people will lose money, but the platform still has value because it’s very hard for most people to build an AI trading algorithm from scratch. So there are a lot of trade-offs here; it’s not as simple as saying “once AI shows up, everything automatically gets better.” (This is exactly what we presented at the hackathon: you describe your own strategy in natural language, and the AI automatically generates a workflow. The parameters in that workflow, the models used, the logical structure, the APIs it calls, and even the algorithms it invokes are all customizable. The reasons we think workflows are a good way to do this include: controllable execution paths, Lego-like modular nodes, and better visualization that makes it easier for users to build and adjust their workflows.) Finally, his conclusion was very clear: it’s not that AI will definitely make trading better, and it’s not that AI will definitely make things worse. Rather, no matter what, in the future a huge number of people will use AI to trade. This will be a very large field, and whoever can build the best algorithms will make a lot of money.

For some reason, people seem to think that if someone is strong, athletic, resilient and never complains, it means they can be treated a little differently. You can suddenly hang on them, jump on their back, lean your full weight on them, have them carry you around the stage, sit on their shoulders, or shove them for the sake of a laugh or a memorable moment. After all, they'll handle it. They're strong. But strength does not make a person invulnerable. Behind a beautiful smile, professionalism and the habit of enduring everything, there may be pain that those around them simply don't notice. And even if they do, they may not consider it serious enough to change their behavior. What makes it even more concerning is when that person has already spoken openly about their health issues. Problems with the spine, neck or herniated discs are not something that should be brushed aside. A single awkward movement, an unexpected load or a sudden loss of balance can trigger a flare-up, a pinched nerve or even a new injury. And the consequences don't always appear immediately. Sometimes the pain doesn't set in until hours or even days later. Personally, I've never found these kinds of "jokes" funny, cute or something that represents a healthy family or friendship dynamic. When someone doesn't expect another grown adult's full weight to be thrown onto them, they have no time to brace their muscles, distribute the load properly, or keep their balance. In a split second, the strain falls on the spine, neck, knees and ankles. If that person is already bent over or in motion, the risk becomes even greater. The saddest part is that people who never complain are often the ones others worry about the least. They're seen as the reliable one - the person who can handle anything. But that's a dangerous misconception. No one should be expected to endure pain simply because they look strong. No one should become the target of these kinds of pranks just because they're capable of staying on their feet. Real care from the people around you isn't shown after you've already been injured. It's shown much earlier - by consciously avoiding situations that could cause harm in the first place. Especially when you know someone has existing health issues. And it's hard to believe that the people closest to him wouldn't know, when even millions of complete strangers do.. What stands out the most is that these "games" always seem to happen to the same person and involve nearly half of the people who are supposed to be his family. Why is he always the one people suddenly jump on, hang off, use as support or turn into part of a joke? I truly hope people stop treating physical strength as permission to keep testing its limits over and over again. Because health is not something worth risking for a few seconds of laughter or attention. Some things can be fixed. Others leave injuries that can stay with a person for the rest of their life. I sincerely hope that people will begin to see not only the strength of a strong person, but the human being behind that strength, someone who also deserves to be protected. Especially by those who are supposed to be family. And believe me, I'm not trying to be overprotective or act like an overbearing "mom". I'm not blowing this out of proportion and I'm not treating him like he's fragile. I know #Jungkook is a grown man. I know he's been with the members for many years. But none of that cancels out my concern or common sense. I expect mature, reasonable adults to understand why so many people are upset by these repeated "games". WE LOVE YOU JUNGKOOK ♥️

Breaking Points asks focus group voters why they support RFK Jr. in 2024 1. “His announcement was phenomenal, I thought it was one of the best speeches I’ve heard in a long time, and I thought it addressed something real. I’m hungry for a change and I want leadership.” 2. “I was looking at it more toward legacy and the views that I grew up with. So it was a little bit deeper for me that the Kennedy family would throw a candidate in there that would fulfill what the past Kennedys have and work for all people.” 3. “I do not like our other potential candidates.” 4. “RFK, I smiled when I heard his name. I can just hear my mom talk about and smile every time JFK came up… He seems very confident in what he talks about, and he’s listening to views from other people. I’m not for Biden, I’m definitely not for Trump, I’m for the people just like RFK is for.” 5. “To me, he’s a strong person and he’s going to be willing to take on the establishment, the military establishment and some of the entrenched political organizations that are running our country. He’s proved himself in his legal profession, standing up to big pharma and working on pollution and environmental issues.” 6. “I think I was on the internet… and they put up that he was running and I was like dang, that would be really cool to come back… at this time, when everything is going down. He will probably help the economy a little bit more, because it’s basically going down. Even though they’re saying everything is going up, it’s going down.” 7. “I didn’t actually know about him until a random episode of Joe Rogan… It’s really hard to lie for three hours straight about yourself, to put on a facade. And I look at Trump, I don’t really see integrity there, I see manipulation. I look at Biden, I don’t really see substance there… And then RFK Jr. just looks like, for the most part, that’s a lot of integrity.”

Aaron Rai talks about how proud he is to become the first English winner of the PGA Championship for more than 100 years: “I wasn't actually aware of it until yesterday. I think in this room yesterday it was mentioned, which was the first of my knowledge. “But yeah, extremely, extremely proud. There's a lot of incredible and historic English players over those hundred years who have gone on to achieve incredible things and had phenomenal careers, but to win this event and then to be the person that's the first one to have won it in a long time from England is an amazing thing and something to be extremely proud of.” Aaron’s journey to the top of the sport began with humble beginnings. When he was a junior living in Wombourne near Wolverhampton, Aaron’s Dad actually quit his job to help Aaron practice and progress his golf career, so the family relied on household income from his Mum and sister. He credits them for the incredible work ethic and moral values he has: “I think a lot of that was from my upbringing. My dad was with me, as I said, every day practice-wise, and he really instilled the importance of work and dedication and trying to consistently build just good, strong habits around the game. “My mom worked extremely hard away from golf. Her jobs, she worked a couple of jobs at one time, at a point in time, and she did a lot of work around the house. My sister took a massive role as well at a young age. She had a job from the age of 14, 15. So there was a lot of consistent messaging of hard work, and that was generally the environment that was there at the house. And that was at the golf course as well. “So I think it's been something I've just grown up with, and I guess as I've got older, something that I've really valued and tried to continue to move forward with.” Aaron works as hard as anyone in the game, regularly practicing late into the evenings and has even been seen leaving the putting green at Wentworth at 11:30pm at night on some days during a tournament week. He’s worked his way up through every level of the sport. From playing on the Europro in 2012 when he turned pro, to earning a Challenge Tour card in 2016, to then winning 3 times in 2017 to earn a European Tour card, to winning his first European Tour event at the Hong Kong Open in 2018, to qualifying for the PGA Tour via the Korn Ferry Tour finals in 2021, to winning on the PGA Tour at the Wyndham Championship in 2024, to now winning his first major in 2026 and making history. His career has been a perfect progression based on hard work and dedication. And he said earning this first major title is re-affirming for the effort he’s putting in: “Extremely affirming, and that's very kind of Xander to say. There are a lot of guys who work extremely hard. The level on the PGA Tour is so strong, let alone in a major championship. So I think that's a prerequisite of what is just required to try and compete out here. “But yeah, it's very, very reaffirming to know the things that we're doing are working and leading to continued development within the game. So, yeah, hopefully I can just continue to move along a pretty similar path moving forward.” Aaron Rai is a fantastic role model and a great ambassador for the sport. He’s a fitting winner of the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink. PGA Championship

A SLAVE TO YOU. 2001 was her peak. It is easy and safe to say “Glad it was not me” and “I would have done it differently”. I see. Fame and Fortune is like dancing with a very large poisons snake and they always win. I have had, in a parallel former life, the chance to work with the very famous on their way up. The first thing I say is: “What goes up, will go down. Your career, your money (maybe) and your brain (most definitely) and just about every friendship”. This will happen to every single complex and all too human, human, some just do a good just a good job hiding it. No one is prepared for wealth and fame. Oh we all talk a big game, but no one is prepared. And the wealth and fame are a guarantee that when you fall, you fall hard. Oh you have the money to protect your fall but because of it your mind falls further than one could think is possible. You are so alone. Your parents, your grand parents, your siblings, your kids they all become part of what I call “The Elvis Syndrome”. To everything your constellation of folks around you say “Yes Elvis, that’s a real good idea”, to everything. See they assume, even if they don’t say it, that you must be a “genius” because they didn’t do what you did and they don’t have the money and fame. They assign genius to you and lesser to themselves. They dare not speak up. They prefer “Yes Elvis, have another fried peanut butter and bacon sandwich. You are not getting fat”. Long ago your burning starlight chased away any true friends, because even if they were strong to say truth, you believed your own public persona like everyone around you. You can not listen, you are the genius they have some job someplace. You also have just two options to anyone around you: 1) Your “crew” 2) People you pay And ironically they merge in to one and the same. All see your public persona and all see you as a means to get paid. Oh you go to “parties” with other rich and famous people but they are one of the above ultimately. Hierarchy forms around you and they naturally form a protection barrier. You have tantrums as fame rips you apart and you desperately try to become your public persona. Each layer you build to protect your all too human center moves you into more and more isolation. Shielded from real and needed pressures of life you are in your beautiful and well stocked velvet prison. You are now just a vehicle for moving money efficiently and surrounded by people that live off this largess. At the peak you may have advisors and they may seem to help. But they dare not tell you what they see even if they could see it. And most can’t see it because no one is prepared for it so they don’t have any better insight. This spans the enter ensemble of people that are now your satellites from gurus to lawyers, from plastic surgery doctors and fitness trainers. So what now? What if your dreams to “make it big”? Abundance does not fix a broken soul. And we all have this. Trauma is a great fuel, it will absolutely get you to orbit and you will shine, but trauma in orbit is the breaks that break you and when gravity wins, and it always does, you have no idea how to navigate going down. Trauma is what I have seen build everyone from Elvis to Steve Jobs. Trauma unresolved took them out. I am not saying your dreams are invalid and should not be your goal, I am saying that you don’t get a pass. No one does. And with fame and fortune it is nearly impossible to address it, because your ego can’t fit in a zip code. As you prepare for you fortune, and if you are reading this, you will have one, prepare your mind. Deal with the dark places that drive you. Make peace with the past, the people that did you wrong and mostly with yourself. But in this bargain you will remove some fuel for your rocket. It is the bargain. But it is the better path. We all will dance with the snake. But hopefully will know it. And you may have fame. Just don’t become a: “Slave to you”.

Trauma is a great fuel, it will absolutely get you to orbit and you will shine, but trauma in orbit is the breaks that break you and when gravity wins, and it always does, you have no idea how to navigate going down. Trauma is what I have seen build everyone from Elvis to Steve Jobs. Trauma unresolved took them out. I am not saying your dreams are invalid and should not be your goal, I am saying that you don’t get a pass. No one does. And with fame and fortune it is nearly impossible to address it, because your ego can’t fit in a zip code. As you prepare for you fortune, and if you are reading this, you will have one, prepare your mind. Deal with the dark places that drive you. Make peace with the past, the people that did you wrong and mostly with yourself. But in this bargain you will remove some fuel for your rocket. It is the bargain. But it is the better path. We all will dance with the snake. But hopefully will know it. And you may have fame. Just don’t become a: “Slave to you”.

BREAKING: MASSIVE OUTRAGE in Africa over Musk. "F...ck Elon Musk. F..ck, f..ck these idiots from Afriforum," says White South African, tells Americans the whites represent only 7 percent of the population but own over 70 percent of the land because of apartheid and they understand why the land reform is taking place. He says, "Hey, lovely people. And particularly a quick word to my American friends who might be tempted to believe what Donald Trump is saying about South Africa, my home country, where I happen to be right now. Him and Elon Musk are racist twats who have no fucking idea what they're talking about. Because what they're doing is taking the word of a fringe racist group called Afriforum and other disaffected whites disgruntled by the end of apartheid, feeling hard done by, and much like the Israelis, victimizing themselves when they are not victims at all, bitching about how, you know, land redistribution is racist against whites. "These are such ignorant provocateurs and it's going to backfire on them. South Africans, majority, the black majority, and it's a multiracial, multi-tribal society, now only own a tiny proportion of the land versus the size of their population. "And while white South Africans make up 7% of the population, more or less, they own about 70% of the decent land. And so the redistribution of land is to address past inequities. And the vast majority of South Africans agree and understand why that's happening and that it's a good thing. "It's also under a very strict mechanism. Now, not everyone agrees, of course, with the mechanism, but the principle is what racists like Musk and Trump are railing against here on behalf of a bunch of assholes who equate equality with oppression. "Because for so many years, decades and decades of the apartheid era, they were the oppressor. And as we know, whenever the oppressor looks at something like equality, it suddenly becomes oppression of him. So fuck Elon Musk. Fuck, fuck these idiots from Afriforum. "You probably know nothing about them, but this is a bunch of, you know, the equivalent of your kind of proud boys hanging on to some past that never actually existed, and a past in which the vast majority of people in this country were oppressed, suppressed, and treated much like, fortunately, not quite as badly as the Israelis treat the Palestinians. "So this whole railing against South Africa, I'm going to add one more point. South Africans on the whole, all of us, white, black, Indian, colored, which is not a term, is a specific term for those of you who might get offended by that, a specific racial group. "We are very, very resilient people as a country. We have gone through a great deal, both in terms of the early part and then the transition from the apartheid era to genuine multicultural democracy. "And whatever Trump throws at us, we can handle. We can handle it because we've been through far, far worse in our history. And my hope is that South Africans all turn around with one voice and tell Trump to fuck off with his sanctions and his fucking withdrawal of aid and his tariffs and all of this stuff, because we can live through it. "What I'm not sure about is whether Americans can, because for the most part, all the stuff that Vivek Ramaswamy said recently about Americans being soft, not prepared to put in the hard graft, and all this stuff, I tell you for the experience of most foreigners is true. "It's not true of every American. I know some of them are the most hard working, wonderful people in the world. But as a general principle, South Africans are far more resilient and able to withstand this kind of bullshit authoritarian pressure than any American population. "So to my fellow South Africans, let's stick this out. Let's stick up the middle finger to Trump and particularly to Elon Musk, because we know from his background that he left South Africa in the apartheid era and retains the racist bullshit that's motivating these people like Creel. "And now that I'm in South Africa, I'm seeing their awesome, ridiculous tweets. Those guys as well, they're the past. Most of us are the future. And it's a beautiful future."

[ CASTING #JUNGKOOK ] "Interview with Big Hit’s casting director Noh Min-mi" 🗣️: "Director, you are known as the one who conducted the casting of BTS members. What were your feelings when you first saw them?" 👤: "When I came to the company, RM and j-hope were already there. But I began to take part in casting with Suga. And the first member for whom I personally conducted the casting from the very beginning was Jungkook. He took part in the program Superstar K, where he received a lot of business cards from different companies… And then I see a boy with bright, shining eyes, a very cute appearance, and even some kind of “aura” around him. I thought: "Wow, what a wonderful boy!" And as if under hypnosis, I immediately gave him my card, took his contacts, and let him go. But at the same moment I noticed that other casting directors from different companies also paid attention to Jungkook. Usually the process is like this: you bring a person to the audition, he passes the selection, and only then he can become a trainee. But at that moment he already received so many offers that I realized, I could lose him. I turned to the company: "What will we do? I think he cannot be missed". And unexpectedly I heard in response: "If you are sure, then let’s sign a contract right away". I was shocked, because usually it is not done like this. But I felt that this was a chance that could not be missed. Right then I called Jungkook’s father and said: "We want to sign a contract with your son". To which he answered: "And why doesn’t Big Hit set an audition date like all the other companies, but immediately offers a contract?" At that moment, as if by intuition, I said: "There is huge potential in your son. I must take him". And here is a funny detail - when I called Jungkook himself, he had a waiting melody on the phone, a song of 2AM. At that time we were engaged in the management of the group 2AM, and I even told Jungkook’s father about it. We then talked a lot and for a long time on the phone, and one day he suddenly called me himself and said: "We decided to sign a contract with Big Hit". Later I found out an interesting thing: other companies were literally begging him to meet, saying they would wait at Seoul Station just to get a chance to talk. But Jungkook’s father answered: "No. We already decided to sign a contract". And that is how we signed a contract with Jungkook. It really was like fate: both that his father believed in our company, and that the management agreed to sign without an audition, all this coincided and became a real miracle. Even now, every day it still seems amazing to me"

Elon Musk sat in a room full of CEOs and told them their titles don’t legally exist. Musk: “So CEO is a made-up title, CFO is a made-up title, General Counsel made-up title… don’t mean anything.” Fill out the paperwork to form a corporation and three roles carry legal weight. President. Secretary. Treasurer. One person is allowed to be all three. Add a director and the skeleton is complete. Everything above that line is costume. Joanna Stern: “I think a room of CEOs are, how do we feel about that?” They agreed with him. Every one of them kept the title anyway. Knowing a thing is invented has never once been enough to stop obeying it. So he tested it inside a federal document. Musk: “I changed my title to Technoking. And by the way, this is a formal SEC filing.” Nothing bounced it back. The form only asks for three roles. Everything stacked above them is decoration the system was never built to police. Technoking sits in the federal record beside every Chief Executive Officer in the country. Legally indistinguishable. That’s the whole tell. The title was never carrying weight. It was being carried. An invented thing survives by never being tested. Not by being true. And almost nothing gets tested, because everyone assumes someone above them already checked. You defer to the title. The title defers upward. So does the next one. Follow the chain all the way up and it runs out. No one standing at the end of it. There was never anyone there. Authority is a citation with no source. Everyone quoting everyone, forever. Most of what governs your life was not discovered. It was decided. Once. By someone with an afternoon and a form. Then the deciding got forgotten, and the forgetting hardened it into physics. The first person to follow a rule knows it’s a choice. The second one inherits a fact. Which is why the man willing to test one is worth watching. Not for the joke. For the willingness to check. He guards no self-image, so an argument has nothing to take from him. Same instinct lets him drop his own conclusion the moment someone shows him better math. You cannot hold an idea loosely while holding yourself tightly. That’s rarer than genius. Nothing real has ever been built in a room where being wrong out loud costs you something. But the vertigo doesn’t stop at the org chart. Everything you love is made of the same material. Mercy was invented. So was the idea that a stranger’s child matters. Nothing underneath either of them but people still agreeing, one morning at a time. Which means someone acted as if it were true before it was true. No proof it would hold. It held because they acted. The first person to show mercy had no word for what they were doing, and nobody to tell them it counted. Every good thing you have ever been handed traces back to someone like that, and not one of them knew. That’s the horror and the whole inheritance in the same sentence. Nothing is holding any of it up. It’s being carried. Same as the title, except this time the weight is worth it. Which means nothing above you is load-bearing. And you are. Every ceiling you have ever hit has a signature on it. A name. A meeting. A Tuesday. None of it came down from above. It was passed sideways, by people no more certain than you are. The ceiling isn’t over your head. It’s in the agreement. Your name is on it too.

Jordan Peterson: "The most dangerous person is one who is articulate" "Articulate is an interesting word. If your joints are articulated, that means you can do things with them because they're not one solid vague mass. They're differentiated. Someone who's graceful is compelling because they're articulated. And speech is a form of articulation in that manner." Peterson explains why this matters: "It is definitely the case that there is no more exceptional form of the capacity to be dangerous than to be articulate. And one of the things that really shocks me is that young men in particular are never taught this." He makes the case bluntly: "Do you want to be competent and dangerous, or do you want to be vague and useless? Because those are your options. And I don't care what your job is. If you're a plumber, and I have great respect for plumbers, and you're articulate: you can negotiate with your clients, introduce your co-workers, make a case for your employees, advertise your services, think through your problems. You're firing on all cylinders." Peterson shares a deeper truth: "Our whole culture is based on the idea of the supremacy of the word. The idea that it is the word itself that extracts habitable order from chaos and possibility. And the reason our culture is predicated on that is because it's a deep truth." He gives an example from the military: "I know a former special operations soldier, Jocko Willink. He's about four feet wide and three feet thick. One tough son of a bitch. You don't want to mess with him. And he knows perfectly well, and is very capable of articulating, that his success as an eminent warrior is in no small part dependent on his ability to communicate." Peterson explains why: "Because he could communicate well, he could listen to the men under his command. Because he was articulate, he could explain to his superiors the situation on the ground. Because he was articulate, he could make a case that the men under his command who were deserving would be promoted. Because he could think in an articulate manner, he could plan strategically and not lose battles." He asks the hard question: "What's the alternative? You want to be inarticulate? You want to say 'uh' and 'like' and 'um' and pause and stumble? Be unable to formulate a strategy? Be unable to elucidate a vision? Be unable to compel and convince other people to entice them with your articulated vision of what might be? You would choose awkwardness over grace. It's preposterous. It's beyond foolish." How do you become articulate? Peterson offers a metaphor: "Imagine you're trying to walk across a swamp. The swamp is murky, but you know there's a path of stone under the water, and it twists and moves. If you stay on the path, you won't drown. The crocodiles won't devour you. As you walk forward, you feel with your next step where the stone might be. Then you feel it solid. Then you take that step. You search and find out what's solid, and you move forward in that manner." He applies this to speech: "That's what you do with your words. You feel, is this the right word? Is the fact that I'm uttering it putting me together and making me intact and stronger? Or is it tearing me apart and making me dissolute and weak? You can learn to do that." Peterson shares what he noticed 40 years ago: "Much of what I said actually made me feel weak. I didn't know why exactly. But sometimes some of the things I said didn't have that effect. They weren't accompanied by a sense of shame. They weren't accompanied by a sense of vulnerability. They were solid. At the beginning, that was probably only about 5% of what I said. The rest of it was instrumental — language I was using to get my way. There was an arrogance in my use of language that had to do with the desire to attain proximal victories. To appear smart. To win an argument." He contrasts that with real articulation: "A very different idea than merely feeling my way along to see what word was appropriate for what moment. But you can learn to do that. You can listen to yourself. You can stop humming and hawing and using 'like' and 'you know' and fillers. You can take the time necessary to craft your words carefully. You can practice merely saying what you believe to be true. You can read great writers. You can write about the problems that obsess you. And you can become articulate as a consequence." The power of the pause: "When you're in a discussion with someone, they might present you with a question or a conundrum. Instead of responding with what you 'know' to be right, you could just ask yourself: what do I actually think about that? But it has to be a real question. It has to be the kind of question you pose to someone you didn't know. It has to be a question predicated on the idea that you might not know who you are, and that you could ask." Peterson continues: "Someone presents you with a question. You think: okay, what do I think about that? But you have to want to know the answer. And then the answer will make itself known because that's how thought works. And then you can just communicate that answer." He explains what happens next: "If you do that, you'll be interesting right away. You'll be interesting to the person you're talking to. And if they do that to you, they'll be interesting too. And then if you both do that, you'll have an interesting conversation. And if you have an interesting conversation, you'll both grow as a consequence. That's actually the pathway to growth." Peterson uses Joe Rogan as an example: "One of the reasons Joe Rogan is so successful is that that's what Joe does. He just asks questions. He isn't trying to get something from his guests. He's not trying to become more famous. He doesn't need any more money. There's no instrumental utilization of language in his discourse. He's just a humble lunkhead in the most profound sense who would like to know more than he knows, and who asks all the stupid questions he can think up." He continues: "It turns out he's actually very smart and very well educated now, after talking to hundreds of people and listening. The stupid questions he asks aren't stupid. They're questions shared by virtually everyone who's listening. He takes his listeners along on this process of exploratory endeavor. And it's the pathway to success." Peterson closes with this: "The same thing can be true of your life. If you're guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth, then the pathway that you walk on is a golden pathway to success. I know that to be true."

Jordan Peterson: "The most dangerous person is one who is articulate" "Articulate is an interesting word.

They're questions shared by virtually everyone who's listening. He takes his listeners along on this process of exploratory endeavor. And it's the pathway to success." Peterson closes with this: "The same thing can be true of your life. If you're guided by the spirit of honest inquiry and every word you say is reflective of what you believe to be the truth, then the pathway that you walk on is a golden pathway to success. I know that to be true."

Diesel’s 24/7 Security Shift 😎⚡ Some dogs only know how to wag their tails and ask for food. And then there are dogs who… know how to work in shifts. Diesel belongs to the second group. When he is alone with his female owner, he stands completely upright, ears raised high and eyes alert, as if he is guarding the entire neighbourhood. His posture is so serious that anyone looking at him might feel compelled to salute. No barking. No growling. Simply standing there is enough to make the atmosphere say, “Someone is on duty.” But the moment her husband appears, everything changes in an instant. His ears drop. His shoulders relax. The serious look disappears. Diesel looks as though he has just heard the end-of-shift whistle. His whole body seems to say: “Okay, the boss is back. I’m off duty.” The transformation is both hilarious and impressive. Dobermans were originally bred for protection and have strong guarding instincts, particularly toward people they consider worth protecting. In many households, a dog may become more vigilant around a female owner when the male owner is away. This does not necessarily mean the dog is showing favouritism. Rather, the dog may simply respond to the situation around it in its own way. When one person is absent, it may become more attentive to the person who remains. That is exactly what Diesel appears to do. When his owner’s husband is away, he switches into “full-time protection mode.” When the husband returns, Diesel immediately takes his leave, as though he has successfully completed his shift and it is now someone else’s turn to take responsibility. What makes people laugh is how professional he seems about it. There is no loud, over-the-top jumping when the husband comes home. There is not even much of a “finally, I can rest” expression. He simply switches from on to off duty with remarkable smoothness, like a veteran security guard who is completely accustomed to working in shifts. Many Doberman owners have probably witnessed something similar. These dogs often seem to know who is at home, who has just stepped outside, and how alert they need to be. They do not need a work schedule. They make their own schedule. And they take it very seriously. Perhaps that is why this scene makes people smile so easily. It is not because the dog is doing something extraordinary, but because he is doing something perfectly ordinary in an almost comically professional way. It is like watching a small but incredibly dedicated security guard except this employee has four legs, upright ears, and a look that clearly says, “Don’t even think about messing around.” Behind the humour, though, there is something warmer. Diesel is not protecting his owner because someone assigned him the job. He protects her because, in his own way, that is how he shows his affection. When she is home alone, he automatically steps up. When the whole family is together, he finally allows himself to relax. His loyalty is not loud or showy, but it is unmistakable. In a world where so many things are becoming increasingly complicated, the sight of a Doberman who knows exactly when he is “on duty” and when he is “off duty” is strangely comforting. He does not need a sign, a uniform, or even praise. He simply knows that when the husband is away, he has a job to do. And when the husband comes home, he is allowed to relax. Perhaps that is why so many people enjoy moments like this. Not because they are dramatic, but because they are naturally funny and genuine. It is simply a dog doing what dogs do best: staying serious when needed, and calling it a day the moment the trusted person comes home. Diesel does not say a word. But just by looking at his posture, everyone understands the message: “Don’t worry. When he’s not home, I’m still here.” 🐶💗

Charlie Munger reveals why smart people wreck their own decisions without ever noticing it happening: He built a career-long list of the exact mental glitches that trip up geniuses and fools alike, and laid it all out in one Harvard talk. It is one of the most quietly devastating things you will ever watch: 1. Nobody respects incentives enough, not even the people who study them. Munger spent a lifetime near the top of his field and still got surprised. "Well I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it." If the master of the subject keeps underestimating incentives, everyone else is doing it worse. 2. FedEx couldn't fix its night shift until it fixed the paycheque. He loved this story because it proves structure beats persuasion. "The heart and soul of the integrity of the system is that all the packages have to be shifted rapidly in one central location each night. And the system has no integrity if the whole shift can't be done fast." They tried everything except changing how people got paid. Once they paid by the shift instead of the hour, the problem vanished. 3. A skilled surgeon can talk himself into hurting people for money and believe every word of it. This is the darkest lesson in the whole talk. A Nebraska doctor kept removing healthy gallbladders for years before anyone stopped him. Munger asked a colleague if the man knew what he was doing. "Tell me, did he think, here's a way for me to exercise my talents," this guy was very skilled technically, "And make a high living by doing a few maimings and murders every year, along with some frauds?" And he said, "Hell no, Charlie. He thought that the gallbladder was the source of all medical evil, and if you really love your patients, you couldn't get that organ out rapidly enough." Incentives don't just bend behaviour, they bend belief. 4. Even a brilliant mind can turn into a one-trick pony. Munger used B.F. Skinner, one of Harvard's most important scientists, as the cautionary tale. "What gummed up Skinner's reputation is that he developed a case of what I always call man-with-a-hammer syndrome, to the man with a hammer, every problem tends to look pretty much like a nail." Genius doesn't protect you from tunnel vision. It just makes the tunnel vision more convincing. 5. Denial is not weakness, it is a universal human default setting. A mother who lost her son at sea simply refused the fact of it. "This first really hit me between the eyes when a friend of our family had a super-athlete, super-student son who flew off a carrier in the north Atlantic and never came back, and his mother, who was a very sane woman, just never believed that he was dead." As Munger put it plainly elsewhere in the talk, the reality is too painful to bear, so you just distort it until it's bearable. Everyone does this. Founders do it about failing products. Investors do it about failing bets. 6. Taking something away hurts people far more than giving them the same thing helps them. He used his own dog to make the point unforgettable. "I took the Munger dog, lovely harmless dog. The one way, the only way to get that dog to bite you was to try and take something out of its mouth after it was already there." He followed it with a neighbour's blood feud over a three-foot pine tree blocking a sliver of harbour view. "People are really crazy about minor decrements down." Founders who cut a perk or a title learn this the hard way. 7. Boards of directors almost never stop a leader who has gone off the rails. This is the line every investor on X should screenshot. "They only act, again the power of incentives, they only act when it gets so bad that it starts making them look foolish, or threatening legal liability to them. That's Munger's rule." Governance sounds like a safeguard. In practice it is mostly theatre until the risk to the board itself becomes personal. 8. Simply being visible changes behaviour, no persuasion required. He picked the most familiar brand on earth to prove it. "Ask the Coca-Cola company, which has raised availability to a secular religion, if availability changes behavior. You'll drink a hell of a lot more Coke if it's always available." Distribution is not a nice-to-have. It is the lever. 9. A crowd of decent people will watch someone suffer and do nothing, because everyone else is doing nothing. Munger used the murder of Kitty Genovese as his sharpest example of social proof gone wrong. "All these people, I don't know, 50, 60, 70 of them just sort of sat and did nothing while she was slowly murdered. Now one of the explanations is that everybody looked at everybody else and nobody else was doing anything, and so there's automatic social proof that the right thing to do is nothing." Silence in a room is not neutral. It is a signal, and it spreads. 10. The real danger is never one bias alone, it's several firing at once. When asked which single tendency mattered most, he refused to pick just one. "I would say the one thing that causes the most trouble is when you combine a bunch of these together, you get this lollapalooza effect." Individually these glitches are survivable. Stacked together, they produce the biggest disasters in business history. Here's the thing though.... Munger never ran a startup and never chased attention for its own sake, yet he became one of the most quoted people in business because he kept showing up and saying the true thing out loud, year after year, at Berkshire meetings and lecture halls and student Q&As. Buffett built the balance sheet. Munger's voice, carried across decades of speeches like this one, built the reputation that made people trust the balance sheet in the first place. Being public wasn't a side project for him. It was the multiplier that turned one very smart investor into a permanent reference point for how to think. Speaking of which: We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger.

“one of us” director stefan van de graaff describes kit connor’s talent, humility, and grounded personality: zach randles-friedman: “is there anything that surprised you about kit connor, that whenever you were working with him that you were just like you hadn't, you didn't expect that?” stefan van de graaff: “yeah, this is insane. when we cast kit, it was a week and a half before we filmed, and the film is very dialogue heavy and it's written in free verse, so everything is, it's almost like pseudo kind of faux shakespearean, very performative language by design. and he stepped into this role where he's basically in every single scene and he's basically talking the entire movie.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “he, i don't recall him missing a line.” zach: “wow.” stefan: “i don't know how he did it. i was just telling people at a, at a screener, a private screener the other night, it was like a superhuman, it was like witnessing a miracle. i don't know how he did it. he would go and he would memorize the next five pages of material the night before and he would come and he wouldn't miss a line. and that's just like, it's not normal, especially not normal for a, a script like this. so that was one thing is that he is insanely gifted. it's not just like he's one of those guys that gets, you know, yes, he's like incredibly handsome and charismatic and all those things, and there's a lot of those that kind of crawl through the ranks on, you know, on the merit of being beautiful. he is not that—or he's also that, let's say. he is also just incredibly talented in a way that i'm like, i, i, i don't know how you did that. he's also a lot taller than you might think.” zach: “how tall is he?” stefan: “he's over six feet.” zach: “oh, i did not, i thought he was like 5’8.” stefan: “no, no, no, he's, he's 6 foot, 6’1 probably. i'm 6’2 and he's, he's, he's not a small guy.” zach: “wow, that does surprise me actually, because he looks so short on tv.” stefan: “yeah, you watch heartstopper and he looks like, i think he just looks small and whatever. he's not, he's and, and then obviously he's gotten very, he's lifted a lot for a number of roles and stuff, and so like, he's big, like he's, he's a, yeah. he's a big guy and is also just incredibly, he is also real people. he is just like, you'll, he has no pretentiousness about him, just humble as can be. he's from like a small kind of borough of london. and he's just, he's just a remarkable person, really calm, really just like even-keeled, steady guy. i don't, i don't think that there's a person who, if they met him, that they couldn't like kit. i think that he's, he's just one of those types of people that you're just like, that's, that's a great person.” zach: “i love it that he's not, i love it that the fame didn't go to his head because i, there's a couple of people that just made it really big and one of them, i think it, i see them how they're acting now with like paparazzi and stuff, and i think that the fame has gone to their head, the way that they're acting now, and it's, it makes me kind of sad.” stefan: “i don't think that will ever happen with kit because i think that he will hide himself before that starts to happen. like he would sooner disappear and like act in one movie every couple of years and you're like, “where did that guy go?” than he would ever start to let that go—i would be shocked if he ever went that way, from what i know of him.” zach: “well he's been out, he's been there long enough, though if that was going to happen, i think it would have happened already too, because he's famous enough.” stefan: “absolutely.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “and he's so young that it's like, my brain like wasn't fully formed at his age, and so for him to be behaving the way that he is as young as he is, i'm like, ok, well, it, in 10 years from now, you're not going to be any more susceptible to giving into the ego than he is today. so i think that he is like, yeah, he's a, he's a sure bet if, if, if you're gambling on what actor is going to be around for a long time and is going to have just like a really prolific career of incredible pieces of work, i—and i feel like i can say this because it was no genius on my part or anything that got him, we got really lucky to get him—and so i feel like i can comfortably say like almost as like a, as a fly on the wall in the room with him, just being very fortunate to work with him, that like he's, he's going to go really, really far and he deserves every little bit of success.” 🔗:

Analyzing Episode 35. Season 2 aka Turning the Tables Alrighty, let's do this. Episode 35 was one of the strongest episodes of season 2, I think, because we get to see Ciho and Alya kind of switch places, for once. In s1, Alya would mostly pick flight when her feelings got overwhelming. Whereas Ciho, with his Ağa mindset, would inevitably choose to fight. But, unlike in s1, the circumstances are unique. We see the tables turn because Alya probably hasn't loved anyone before like she loves Cihan, and Cihan hasn't ever come across a test as heavy as the half-alive Boran. So, essentially, they're both out of their comfort zones. Let's discuss Alya first. My love for this character just keeps growing. I've yet to see someone be as principled and willing to break the rules, as strong and soft at the same time, as Alya Albora. The woman is a marvel. We must protect her at all costs (Get in line, Ciho). As the episode begins, Alya walks off to their room and proceeds to lock herself in Cihan's study after informing everyone about Cihan's not-so-tiny health problem. I think being the smart cookie she is, she realizes early on that Cihan will be his stubborn self about the surgery business, which is why something of a plan is already forming in her head. When Cihan shows up to talk, Alya doesn't back down from telling him she knows exactly why he's walking to almost certain death. Still, she only brings out the big guns after pleading with him to review his decision doesn't work. Her goal isn't to hurt him. It's to save him. To shock him enough to wake from the limbo Cihan has isolated himself in. When her words fail to achieve their target, she acts. I'm pretty damn sure she knows exactly what she's going to do as she's packing her clothes to leave the mansion. Alya refuses to leave Cihan's side even in the worst of circumstances, so her walking out when he's about to risk his life is completely out of character. And not only that, before leaving, she tells Cihan she doesn't want to talk to him or see him until he changes his mind about becoming the donor. See? Smart. She's doing everything she can to keep him from monitoring her movements (like he generally does :D). She's learned to read her husband, so much so that she turns his tactics on him. And Cihan never picks up on it. And watching her in action is poetry in motion - beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Because this time, the one person she can always count on for support isn't with her. She's fighting for Cihan, for their love, all on her own. Even though they promise each other they'd face whatever obstacles come their way together as they leave the airport in ep 29. While everyone gathers to wish Cihan well before the operation, Alya walks through those corridors alone. She has no one to calm her fears, no one to soothe her brow. No one tells her they'll be praying for her quick recovery. And that hurts like a son of a bitch. Because Alya has such a capacity for love and giving, she doesn't hesitate to take huge risks for the people she loves. On the other hand, she has no one other than Cihan to do the same for her. He's her other half. And there's no way in hell she'd stand back and watch him destroy himself. Her devotion and resolve are crystal clear when she speaks to Cihan while he's sedated. Still, I think some of her loneliness and desperation bleeds through her words to her husband. Almost as if something deep inside her cries out for him to wake up and choose her - like she's choosing him. Over everyone. Even her own life. Speaking of choosing, let's pause here and pivot to Cihan Bey. Cihan, like all of us, is a product of his upbringing, his environment, and his personal beliefs. Two of those three things are extremely toxic and warped. Not to mention, the guilt that's eating him alive is a product of those two things. They say when you're undergoing feelings of intense guilt, you tend to fluctuate between two states - suppression and surrender. When you suppress, you tell yourself you're fine. Everything's okay. Things are best this way type of stuff. In fact, I want you to remember this phrase. Then, there's surrender - moments of lucidity where you realize you're falling apart, that this isn't what you want at all. You're flooded by emotions and longing about what you're denying yourself. And that's something you see in Cihan over and over in this episode. He keeps fluctuating from one state to the other, and I don't think he even realizes what he's about to do to himself and Alya by wanting to go through with that operation. Take the scene where they're talking in their room before Alya leaves. On the one hand, Cihan tells Alya he has responsibilities to his family, and on the other, he can't see how his decision will affect Alya and Deniz. Then, when Cihan tries talking to Alya when he's driving her to work, he tells her he doesn't want to sacrifice their love, but in the next instance, he tells her he won't lose her 'in his heart' even if Boran wakes up. You see the inconsistency? He keeps switching between what he truly wants and the things might be best this way mindset. Surrender and suppression. Like when he keeps seeking her out at every turn, but insists on undergoing a surgery that will almost certainly kill him. The guilt inside him builds like pressure almost. He tries to suppress it until it spills over, revealing his true feelings, then he panics and moves back to suppression again. This keeps repeating until he wakes up to discover that Alya is the one undergoing the surgery. That's when the cycle finally breaks. Because when he's faced with the reality of losing Alya forever, he finally accepts the core truth driving his guilt - he fell in love with his brother's wife. Sure, he thinks Boran is dead and gone when it happens, but guilt doesn't really follow logic. That's why Alya being the donor and almost losing her life forces him to accept the love he feels for Alya is part of him now. There is no fighting it, there is no changing it. There is only accepting it. And his speech to Boran before he sees Alya is proof of his surrender. Because he finally admits that his bond with Alya isn't about choice anymore, he doesn't control the love; it controls him now. In front of Boran, no less. He finally looks his guilt in the face and starts to overcome it. That's why we see him initiating the kiss in their room. He's not overcome by self-reproach when he thinks of touching Alya intimately now. All very, very positive signs. And, let's not forget, when he sees his entire family conspired behind his back to allow Alya to be the donor, he understands another sold truth. He is the only family Alya has apart from Deniz. Which makes Alya's sacrifice all the more powerful. Because he realizes that she kept her part of the bargain. She kept fighting for them, even when he didn't. Hopefully, this is the moment where Cihan stops running and starts choosing. Alya didn’t just save his life physically; she forced him to confront the part of himself he kept buried. And now that he’s finally surrendered to that truth, we’re about to see the version of Cihan who fights for love instead of resisting it. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

And not only that, before leaving, she tells Cihan she doesn't want to talk to him or see him until he changes his mind about becoming the donor. See? Smart. She's doing everything she can to keep him from monitoring her movements (like he generally does :D). She's learned to read her husband, so much so that she turns his tactics on him. And Cihan never picks up on it. And watching her in action is poetry in motion - beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Because this time, the one person she can always count on for support isn't with her. She's fighting for Cihan, for their love, all on her own. Even though they promise each other they'd face whatever obstacles come their way together as they leave the airport in ep 29. While everyone gathers to wish Cihan well before the operation, Alya walks through those corridors alone. She has no one to calm her fears, no one to soothe her brow. No one tells her they'll be praying for her quick recovery. And that hurts like a son of a bitch. Because Alya has such a capacity for love and giving, she doesn't hesitate to take huge risks for the people she loves. On the other hand, she has no one other than Cihan to do the same for her. He's her other half. And there's no way in hell she'd stand back and watch him destroy himself. Her devotion and resolve are crystal clear when she speaks to Cihan while he's sedated. Still, I think some of her loneliness and desperation bleeds through her words to her husband. Almost as if something deep inside her cries out for him to wake up and choose her - like she's choosing him. Over everyone. Even her own life. Speaking of choosing, let's pause here and pivot to Cihan Bey. Cihan, like all of us, is a product of his upbringing, his environment, and his personal beliefs. Two of those three things are extremely toxic and warped. Not to mention, the guilt that's eating him alive is a product of those two things. They say when you're undergoing feelings of intense guilt, you tend to fluctuate between two states - suppression and surrender. When you suppress, you tell yourself you're fine. Everything's okay. Things are best this way type of stuff. In fact, I want you to remember this phrase. Then, there's surrender - moments of lucidity where you realize you're falling apart, that this isn't what you want at all. You're flooded by emotions and longing about what you're denying yourself. And that's something you see in Cihan over and over in this episode. He keeps fluctuating from one state to the other, and I don't think he even realizes what he's about to do to himself and Alya by wanting to go through with that operation. Take the scene where they're talking in their room before Alya leaves. On the one hand, Cihan tells Alya he has responsibilities to his family, and on the other, he can't see how his decision will affect Alya and Deniz. Then, when Cihan tries talking to Alya when he's driving her to work, he tells her he doesn't want to sacrifice their love, but in the next instance, he tells her he won't lose her 'in his heart' even if Boran wakes up. You see the inconsistency? He keeps switching between what he truly wants and the things might be best this way mindset. Surrender and suppression. Like when he keeps seeking her out at every turn, but insists on undergoing a surgery that will almost certainly kill him. The guilt inside him builds like pressure almost. He tries to suppress it until it spills over, revealing his true feelings, then he panics and moves back to suppression again. This keeps repeating until he wakes up to discover that Alya is the one undergoing the surgery. That's when the cycle finally breaks. Because when he's faced with the reality of losing Alya forever, he finally accepts the core truth driving his guilt - he fell in love with his brother's wife. Sure, he thinks Boran is dead and gone when it happens, but guilt doesn't really follow logic. That's why Alya being the donor and almost losing her life forces him to accept the love he feels for Alya is part of him now. There is no fighting it, there is no changing it. There is only accepting it. And his speech to Boran before he sees Alya is proof of his surrender. Because he finally admits that his bond with Alya isn't about choice anymore, he doesn't control the love; it controls him now. In front of Boran, no less. He finally looks his guilt in the face and starts to overcome it. That's why we see him initiating the kiss in their room. He's not overcome by self-reproach when he thinks of touching Alya intimately now. All very, very positive signs. And, let's not forget, when he sees his entire family conspired behind his back to allow Alya to be the donor, he understands another sold truth. He is the only family Alya has apart from Deniz. Which makes Alya's sacrifice all the more powerful. Because he realizes that she kept her part of the bargain. She kept fighting for them, even when he didn't. Hopefully, this is the moment where Cihan stops running and starts choosing. Alya didn’t just save his life physically; she forced him to confront the part of himself he kept buried. And now that he’s finally surrendered to that truth, we’re about to see the version of Cihan who fights for love instead of resisting it. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir
