Focus on making progress, not perfection.

Comparing what is now happening with what has happened in analogous historical situations and triangulating my thinking with smart, well-informed leaders and experts has always helped me make better decisions. I have found that most wars are filled with big disagreements about what is likely to happen and big surprises. However, in the case of this Iran war, it is obvious, and there is near-universal agreement, that it all comes down to who controls the Strait of Hormuz. I hear from those who run governments, geopolitical experts, and people all over the world that if Iran is left with control over who can pass through the Strait of Hormuz, or is even left with the power to negotiate, there are four (4) key implications. I wrote about these consequences in my latest article. I want to emphasize that I am not political; I am just a practical person who has to bet on what will happen and has studied history to draw lessons that help me do that well, and I am now passing along my principles and thoughts that might help others navigate these tumultuous times. I remain ready, willing, and able to explore these things with you if you’d like to ask me questions in the comments. x.com/RayDalio/statu…

9 Books That Will Change Your Life:

Seedance 2.0 literally turns millions production cost into pennies

James Liang is a Chinese billionaire who pays his employees 50K for every baby they make, who is launching a 1 Billion fund to pay PHD students to have children, here’s why… James is the cofounder of trip.com worth $50B, he was also a prodigy academic who started college at 15, got a PHD at Stanford and then became a professor at China's top university PKU. He straddles not just the active and the contemplative life but elite circles across US and China. Sitting at this unique intersection helped him articulate his most important idea: that demography is one of the most overlooked factors that impact innovation. The problem with an aging population is not just the financial strain on pensions but a cultural, technological stagnation that will suffocate any creative act. Gerontocracies (rule by the old) result in sterile, hierarchical, and unimaginative futures. If humanity is going to continue innovating, humanity needs to stay young. James believes offering money alone can significantly fix the problem and is putting his money where his mouth is. In this interview, you will learn about the coming population collapse from one of the world’s foremost demography experts and what to do about it from one of the world’s most resourceful entrepreneurs. Timestamps: 2:02 Paying Employees to Have Babies 3:09 Low Fertility Kills Innovation 11:05 The Young Want Merit. The Old Want Hierarchy 15:42 Small Population = Little Innovation 33:50 Why a CEO Left for Academia 48:33 Humanity Craves Novelty 55:14 True Innovation Creates Heritage 1:16:32 AI Won’t Lead Innovation

The book. The lesson.

Seedance 2 still amazes me ! It includes some pretty precise position changes; here, the transition from sleeping to waking up of this cute creature. I should test it with more complex scenes. (I also really like the grumpy little robin I created, haha) AI Tools : Character
