Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

Every American should watch every second of this video. Thank you, @BenSasse.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

I might get some pushback for this, but I honestly think a lot of parents, especially in places like Silicon Valley and especially many Asian parents, are training their kids for the wrong world. I see kids at the age of 7-8 packed with after-school math, more reading, more test prep, with the goal to make them “smarter.” But from my perspective, living deep in the AI world every single day, I’m pretty sure raw intelligence is about to become a commodity. Very soon, AI is going to do math better than the best mathematician, it’ll diagnose better than top doctors around the world, it’ll draft contracts better than elite lawyers, and it’ll learn faster than any PhD, instantly, endlessly, and without any fatigue. All of that knowledge will live right in your pocket. So think about it… if we’re raising kids to win by being “the smartest in the room,” we’re really training them for something that’s already being replaced. In my opinion, this is a waste of time, $, and effort. What I focus on with my kids is very different. I care about willpower. I care about passion. I care about loving something enough to stick with it, especially when it feels hard. And as a Dad, my job is to support that, whatever it is, and teach them to never give up. I could be totally wrong though… But when I look at where AI is headed, I don’t think the future belongs to the kid who memorized the most formulas or did the most math problems, etc. In the future, I think the winners are going to be kids who 1/ can push through frustration 2/ can stay curious 3/ can keep going deeper into their passions than others 4/ can use AI tools to build cool things 5/ has the will power to never give up In this day and age, school doesn’t really teach this and I don’t think after-school classes teach that either. I don’t think any of this can really be taught at school tbh, it’s something that is developed inside the home through the environment we as parents cultivate. In a world where AI will help you build anything, create anything, and learn anything instantly, I don’t think the real edge will be intelligence anymore like the past. The edge will come down to grit, discipline, emotional strength, and to keep going as others quit. AI will be so deeply woven into our kids’ lives whether we like it or not. That part is unavoidable. However, what is avoidable is raising kids who only know how to follow instructions, chase grades, and wait for approval. I always tell my kids, I don’t care what grade you get in a test. I care that you know what you got wrong, why you got it wrong, and what you’re doing to avoid that mistake in the future. Because I firmly believe in the future, the kids who will thrive the most will be the ones who want something badly enough to go after it, who aren’t afraid to fail, and those who know how to leverage AI. Just my two cents. But if we’re serious about the future, I think it’s time parents start training for that world, NOT the one we grew up in.

Fathers, no matter how tired you are when you get home from work, remember this. One day, they’ll stop asking you to play. And you’ll wish you were this tired again.

The older I get, the more I value simplicity. Because complexity is the enemy of consistency. If it’s too complicated, you won’t stick to it long enough for compounding to work its magic. The simple plan is always seen through. Simplicity is your cheat code for compounding.

This video by Scott Adams will rewire your brain to never feel lazy again. Excellent insight.

People give @joerogan are hard time about his podcast from time to time, but moments like this are timeless.. congrats @JellyRoll615 ❤️

@niccruzpatane That’s the episode that got me hooked on to JRE 😀

To be clear: 1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition. 2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter. H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation. 3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders. It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

The Four Agreements ‼️

The older I get, the more I realize: • No is a full sentence • Being unbothered is a skill • Silence is a response • Most "urgent" things can wait • Respect > Attention • Apologies are empty without action • Movement is medicine • You're not for everyone, and that's fine
