Direct correlation between constant wired hyper-productivity and autoimmune issues, MCAS, and chronic "stealth" illnesses. Seen it so many times now. Hardest working guy you know who is always "on" ends up getting one shotted one day and his health starts spiraling. Tries a bunch of intense treatment protocols when in reality its his nervous system thats keeping him sick. You can only redline your nervous system for so long. Eventually your body will give up and when it does you will have no other choice.

Who underwrote this SPAC at a $1.2B valuation?? A company with basically no revenue built around niche sports that have never been profitable Add in that many pro athletes are at least micro-doping and the whole concept collapses on itself This is a PIPE dream (pun intended) Looks like an exit strategy over a failed business model, just like most of the SPACs back in 2021 Would be VERY interested to hear why I am wrong, because I know I’m not :)

The U.S. Senate announced it will hold a hearing to evaluate sports betting and gaming integrity in the country in light of several recent sports betting scandals. sportsbettingdime.com/news/b…

If you just put your entire portfolio into $GOOGL last April and then sat on the beach, you'd be up 155% in one year… You stupid idiot.

A lot of people would be a lot happier and wealthier if they had realized this when they were younger

$ADBE has a big event later today and someone loaded millions worth of OTM calls before the closing bell yesterday Seen this one before...

This is a steal Adobe is down -60% (2Y) and only trading 11.3x while posting record numbers The market is pricing them here at 258 like they're getting commoditized, similar to other software companies The financials show $ADBE is accelerating and I'd argue that their brand will make them even MORE valuable in a post-AI world There is a huge opportunity to buy up quality software at these current discounts (top 10-20%) The "Software is Dead" thesis doesn't apply to Adobe Everyone's panicking about AI commoditization because solo founders can now vibe code basic apps, which i totally agree with (made a recent tweet on it), but that's CRUD apps, project management tools, internal dashboards, etc... You can't vibe code professional video editing, you can't vibe code pixel-level compositing in photoshop The complexity floor is too high Adobe's products require professional-grade precision that AI assists with but doesn't replace (yet) They are literally targeting double-digit ARR growth ($25.9-26.1B revenue) They're growing faster than last year and margins are expanding WITH AI They not only have a substantial brand moat, but also have Firefly Foundry (their custom enterprise models trained on client IP) Ironically, they are actually INCREASING their prices right now You don't raise prices when you're getting commoditized AI is far from being able to replicate professional creative tools (Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects) AI commoditization is very real for the bottom 80% of software, but the top one's with a strong brand product moat will become even more valuable now Some long-term insane deals in this sector if you know where to look

I do not believe the vast majority of people are prepared for the disruption - or perhaps revolution - that AI will bring. In many ways, it will increase efficiency and provide the solutions we desire. I believe this is especially true in corporate roles, as many operate on an admin-heavy model - because having direct reports is part of the corporate glamour package. Furthermore, much of the low-level white-collar work - such as in accounting, construction design, and legal - are just glorified gatekept administrative tasks - routine "bread and butter" transactional work. I am not merely referring to AI drafting your emails and filing your attachments as they come in. We are looking at AI that can read receipts and draft entire financial statements, awaiting a final CPA review within minutes. Similarly, construction estimates and sketches can be produced swiftly for evaluation by quantity surveyors and engineers. Legal discovery and case law analysis can be completed in mere minutes, quickly assessing the likelihood of success, with prepopulated submissions generated instantaneously for final review. Contractual templates will be crafted, incorporating relevant nuanced considerations adjusted based on recorded client interview input, then managed through blockchain technology. In the future, the most pressing legal challenges will likely stem from jurisdictional complexities, particularly as AI continues to evolve. While international law is not yet as agile as we would prefer, it seems inevitable that this will change. I believe that within three years, at most five, we will witness the mass disestablishment of white-collar jobs. Mid-tier managers are already being trimmed rapidly due to low-level automation in many countries. As a result, the commercial real estate collapse will likely see these spaces repurposed for residential purposes. Physical retail is already in decline, so this movement is not surprising to many. Traditional 9-to-5 roles will break down into a more gig economy model. With the erosion of job security, transient behaviours will also emerge in interpersonal romantic relationships. Thus, the market there is ripe for the picking. In a redeeming twist of sorts, those who were once looked down upon in blue-collar jobs will find that they hold more security than their white-collar counterparts, as physical automation will take a little longer. Occupations like mechanics, hairdressers, plumbers, and carpet layers will remain relevant for a while longer. The focus will also revert to physiological needs in Maslow's hierarchy. The less glamorous roles tied to these will survive. Financial generation around basic survival needs - such as food, water, and shelter - will remain vital. People still need to eat and sleep. Land will retain value because you cannot create more of it. This will disrupt the class system as we know it, while also increasing wealth polarity. I would argue that land ownership will become paramount, as it will enable the ability not only to provide shelter but also to grow food. Another focus that will be hard to replicate is the role of spirituality and healing during moments of massive societal upheaval and disarray. While many are already using AI for therapy, the desire for self-actualisation and spirituality in particular, will continue to grow. Truth-seekers will always exist. Speed will be a result of this upcoming disruption, and in such a world, we will find value in slowing down. The flipside of this is that those seeking to numb their souls will be presented with vast and tantalising selections of newfound entertainment and distractions. If we believe the war on spirituality is troubling now, we have no concept of what is yet to come. Imagine the spirit not being broken, but gently lulled into a peaceful slumber, unaware that resistance is possible - or, if aware, uncertain of its necessity. Interesting, huh? I would not be surprised if, as things progress, some form of universal basic income is explored in certain countries. Get ready for the ride of your life.
