Richard Feynman didn’t just revolutionize physics; he diagnosed the fundamental sickness of modern status-seeking. To Feynman, the Nobel Prize was a "pain in the neck." While the world fixates on the external validation of the Swedish Academy, he viewed the "honors" as fundamentally unreal—a distraction from the only metric...

Pedro Franceschi explains why Brex doesn’t hire “people managers” anymore One day Brex founder Pedro Franceschi made a list of all of the leaders at the company who worked and didn’t work. “I was trying to find what was predictive of leadership success,” he explains. “A lot of things are important, but they’re not predictive. For example, being customer obsessed is important, but there are people who were customer obsessed who were on both sides of the list.” The only trait that Pedro found to be predictive of leadership success at Brex was what he calls “the ability to operate at all levels” — someone who even at the highest levels of leadership has a deep understanding of the details of execution at the individual contributor level. What this means in practice is a CTO who is actually a great engineer. A Head of Design who can actually design amazing products. And a great Head of Sales who can actually go and close deals themselves if they need to. “It doesn’t mean that they’re going to do that all the time,” Pedro explains, “But it means that they know the nuances of what makes someone great at the craft… If you don’t know how to identify greatness because you don’t know what the bar is yourself, there’s no way to build a team that’s great.” He continues: “A lot of companies develop this role over time that people call a ‘people manager.’ They’re Director of Engineering but they can’t really code because they manage people now… And that concept is just something we eliminated. At the end of the day, there’s no way to manage people divorced from the work — you’re managing the work itself.” Pedro uses Jony Ive as an example: “Jony Ive wasn’t managing the team that designed the iPhone. He was designing the iPhone with a group of people. It’s simple, but it is a very profound change in how you orient your relationship with the work and what you put out there in the world. And I think you have to select for people who appreciate the actual output of the work and the work itself, not the process of doing the work… What matters is: Do you know what great looks like? Can you do it yourself? And can you bring people along with a really high bar for doing it at all level.” Video source: Kleiner Perkins (2025)

Today we lower the curtain on a life that spent itself teaching Uganda how to see its own reflection on a stage. To call him a playwright is true but insufficient. Mukulu was an institution unto himself. Those of us in this trade know what it costs to build a body of work like that, the rehearsals that ran too late, the casts he pushed because he refused to let anyone perform beneath what he knew they had in them. The arguments about a line or a gesture that felt, in the moment, like they mattered more than anything in the world. His language during rehearsals sometimes sounded vulgar to the young cast built around us but Art has no sanity. It’s as it is and what it is. More so, Mwami Mukulu was famous, actually notorious for his conduct as Director but the cast understood him and appreciate him. For demanding of his actors the same relentless standard he demanded of himself. That sternness was never cruelty. It was reverence. He simply could not treat the stage as anything less than sacred, and he made sure everyone who stood on one with him understood that too. He was, by every account, a difficult man to satisfy and an impossible man to forget. That is, in the end, the whole job description of a master to me a GRANDMASTER. Alex Mukulu did not simply entertain a country, he gave it a mirror and he held that mirror steady for almost fifty years, through changing governments and changing audiences. Never once flinching from what it showed. That is the work of a grand master of this craft, and it is the work he leaves in our hands now. Rest well, my Idol my inspiration Mr Director Alex Mukulu. The stage is dark tonight because you are no longer on it but everywhere US your students, your casts and your audiences carry a piece of what you taught us. The lights are still on Boss🫡 #SleepwellGrandMaster

Jeffrey Sachs names the driver of the wars: Washington and Europe still believe they run the world. That hegemonic mindset is at work in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, and Venezuela—and it is now dragging the West into decline. “The reason we’re in these wars is basically because the United States and Europe are determined to maintain their hegemonic prerogatives. For centuries, the West—so-called, mainly the empires of Europe and from the late 19th century the United States—judged that they effectively ran the world. Mr. Bessent, our Treasury Secretary, who is a sheer vulgarian, the worst imaginable that we’ve ever had, basically says in the Financial Times today, ‘We run the world. We determine who does what. We determine who trades. We will destroy whichever countries we want.’ That’s the mindset. That mindset is at work in Ukraine. It’s at work in the genocide in Gaza. It’s at work in the war against Iran. It was at work, of course, in the kidnapping and confiscation of Venezuela’s oil revenues earlier this year. The mindset is we run the world. Yes, it’s a little bit nasty because there are these pesky wannabe challengers like Russia, Iran, or China that don’t want us to run the world, but effectively we run the world, and we’re going to tell the world what to do. That’s the mindset. It’s so out of date, so absurd, so delusional that it drives a set of policies—not only the war, but trade measures, protectionism, and so forth—that are leading the West into not only relative decline as these other places rise, but perhaps serious absolute decline at some point, because all of the claims that are made for hegemony and all of the overreach are leading to a buildup of burdens fiscally, in terms of debt, in terms of claims on trade, in terms of cutting off economic linkages around the world, including now the trade war between the United States and Canada, for God’s sake, which was launched just two days ago, that I think will put both Europe and the United States into very serious economic crisis in the coming years. Again, Europe is in a crisis right now. The United States is in what I would regard as a massive financial bubble due to the AI valuations and the stock market, which keep things afloat for the moment. But it’s a bubble that I think is going to burst.” Hegemony is not strength. It is overreach. The wars, the sanctions, and the bubble are the same system eating itself.

🚨New: Sir Alex Ferguson on the Messi, Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo GOAT debate: • Interviewer: Sir Alex, the debate never ends — Messi, Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo. Who is the greatest of all time for you? 🗣️Ferguson: “I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count over the years, and for a long time I refused to give a straight answer because the debate was still open. It isn’t open anymore. Messi’s World Cup in 2022 was the final piece. Before that tournament he already had everything else, the Champions Leagues, the league titles in different countries, the Ballons d’Or, the individual brilliance that no one could match. The only thing missing was the World Cup. He went and got it. When a player completes the full set like that, the conversation changes. He has now completed football. Every major trophy, every individual award, every level of the game. That closes the debate for me. Because of that completion, Messi sits clearly above Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo. I’m not saying the other three weren’t great. Of course they were. But the ledger is now complete for Messi in a way it never was for the others, and that has to count. Now, people will jump on the fact that Cristiano was my player. He was. He is still my boy in many ways. I have huge affection and respect for him, the hunger, the work rate, the way he rebuilt himself season after season. That part is emotional for me. But the ranking itself is no longer emotional. It’s factual. You separate the personal from the professional when the evidence is this clear. Let’s be honest about what Cristiano is. He is the more adaptable, all-round player. Different leagues, different systems, different styles of play. He could score with either foot, with his head, from distance, from six yards. He could lead a dressing room, he could carry a team on pure willpower, and he stayed at the highest level for an absurd length of time. No serious person denies any of that. Physical dominance, leadership, versatility — he has those qualities in abundance. But adaptable is not the same as greatest. In pure footballing terms — the genius of the first touch, the vision, the consistency at the absolute peak for over a decade, and now the complete trophy case — Messi is on another level. Ronaldo is not close in that specific sense. One is an extraordinary athlete and competitor who maximised every ounce of his talent. The other is simply a better footballer. That’s the distinction. Pele and Maradona were gods of their eras, no question. But the modern game is harder, deeper, and more athletic. The athletic demands, the tactical organisation, the quality of opposition week after week, it’s a different beast. Messi dominated a far stronger era for longer than either of them managed. That has to be recognised. I’m not sentimental about this. Sentiment is for fans and for the media. When you strip it back to what actually happened on the pitch and in the trophy cabinet, the answer is clear. Cristiano is an extraordinary athlete and competitor. Messi is just a better footballer. You can love Ronaldo more. You can respect him more. You can prefer his story, his personality, his work ethic. All of that is fair. What you cannot do is put him above Messi anymore. The ledger is closed.” Cristiano is an all-time great. Messi is the greatest. That’s just how it is now.”
