The mind when it learns its beliefs were wrong. Beliefs are fundamental to one’s identity. Humility and honesty is open to truth, change and an evolving identity. Pride closes the mind to truth, becomes blind due to the fear of a changing identity and admitting being wrong

Correct… Being OCD, tenacity, understanding the purpose of failure, coupled with the burden of intelligence, vision, fueled by imagination and most of all faith, - when it can’t be done
THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, REMEMBER THIS PHOTO OF ELON MUSK. IT WAS TAKEN AFTER HIS THIRD ROCKET EXPLODED. HE HAD JUST LOST $100 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY. SPACEX WAS WEEKS AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY. TESLA WAS STRUGGLING. HE WAS SLEEPING ON FRIENDS’ COUCHES. THE MEDIA CALLED HIM RECKLESS. INVESTORS PULLED BACK. EVERYONE TOLD HIM TO QUIT. INSTEAD, HE BET EVERYTHING ON ONE FINAL LAUNCH. IF IT FAILED, SPACEX WAS DONE. THE LAUNCH SUCCEEDED — AND CHANGED HISTORY. TODAY, SPACEX IS WORTH OVER $1 TRILLION AND DOMINATES THE PRIVATE SPACE INDUSTRY. MOST PEOPLE QUIT RIGHT BEFORE THEIR BREAKTHROUGH. ELON KEPT GOING WHEN EVERYTHING WAS AGAINST HIM. THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND ALMOST SUCCESS.

The rigging of the LA Mayoral primary is obvious. Outrage should be independent of party, and that’s not what I’m seeing. What’s wrong with you Blue Team people? Do you not understand what it means? Snap out of it and stand up for your neighbors, your country and the West!

🚨ALERT: In a major development, the U.S. Supreme Court has indicated it will invalidate state laws that allow ballots to be counted after Election Day. Justice Alito pointed out that it's called “Election DAY” for a reason.

Billionaire Ron Baron said this on CNBC: 1. Starlink will be worth up to $14 Trillion 2. SpaceX will be worth $10T - $30T or more 3. $1B IPO order 4. Would NOT bet on SpaceX-Tesla merger 5. Terafab saves big margins, 50X chips needed. Never bet against a guy who never gives up.

The magnitude & brazen nature of the government payment fraud is staggering
USDA Sec. Brooke Rollins: "We found 200,000 dead people getting food stamps, and 500,000 getting more than one benefit... in the red states. Blue states are suing us... The fraud is so stunning."

True So why doesn’t this apply to our beliefs? Hmm..? Unfortunately, for most, beliefs lead our discipline, rather than discipline lead our beliefs. As a result, hard work and sacrifice, while feeling empowered or noble, can mislead and even be harmful to self and others. Read again and let that sink in Explains the quiet or ignored personal or family dysfunction and the increase in therapy and drugs use among families and individuals, Why? Bc therapy never gets past the symptoms of dysfunctional beliefs. Beliefs are the stone wall that protect our identity. Therapy only scratches the surface. Few understand.
Mike Tyson dropped pure wisdom on JRE: “You don’t have discipline? You ain’t nobody. Nothing.” Then he hit the killer line Cus D’Amato taught him: “Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.” Joe Rogan nailed the follow-up: master that and you can succeed at anything. I’ve got plenty of things I know I should do that I straight-up dread. The days I force myself to attack them with energy instead of dragging my feet? Those are the days momentum actually shows up. Talent and motivation are everywhere. Discipline is what separates the ones who actually make it from the ones who stay “almost there.” In a world full of distractions and easy dopamine, this mindset feels like a cheat code most people never unlock. What’s one thing you hate doing but know you need to do and how do you trick yourself into loving the process?

The Tesla Cybercab will have an efficiency of 165 Wh/mi (102 Wh/km). To put that in perspective, that’s equivalent to a gas car getting 204 MPG. Elon Musk said he sees a path where Tesla can get Cybercab operating costs as low as $0.20 per mile.

APPLE JUST GOT HUMILIATED BY AN $8 JACKET BADGE A random Japanese maker saw Apple's $3,499 Vision Pro Persona and decided to build the same thing for the price of a pizza. Same real-time face mirroring. Same natural expressions and blinks. Same low latency reaction when you smile. Apple needed a full headset with M2 chip, R1 processor, 12 cameras and LiDAR. He did it with one ESP32, a tiny camera and MediaPipe running 468 landmarks on-device. Total cost: eight dollars. This is what happens when one weekend hacker destroys a billion-dollar feature in a jacket pin. The hardware moat just evaporated. Full system in the video below.

NEWS: California trucking firms have applied to buy 1,200 Tesla Semis, a deal worth ~$348M. That is more applications than all other electric trucks combined since the state's incentive program launched in 2019. The Semi starts at ~$290,000 for the 500-mile range version. Competitors from Daimler and Volvo start at $400,000 for less range. Tesla is also bringing a 350-mile version at a lower price. Both options out-range every other electric truck on the market. Jennie Abarca, owner of King Fio Trucking in Long Beach, ordered 20 Semis. "This is something new coming to the market that kind of answers all those problems." The Semi is doing to trucking what Model Y did to SUVs. Better range, lower price, massive demand. The incumbents never saw it coming.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says that US Government raising taxes doesn’t do anything to help the average American He says raising taxes does nothing because Congress just launders the money to their friends, special interest groups and “17,000 lobbying groups” “I don't know anyone, and you guys in the room, you might be Democrats, Republicans who thinks that sending another trillion dollars to Washington D.C will actually improve anything. So when you say raise taxes, if you said raise taxes and directly give it to the people who need it, do it. That does not happen. It goes to all these interest groups, and they give it to their friends and all that.” “Which is why the people are considered a swamp. It's kind of a swamp, the 17,000 lobbying groups. But bank companies are guilty too. They're just fighting for their one self-interest as opposed to what's good for my country”.

BREAKING: Poland just told the EU to go to hell. President Nawrocki vetoed the Digital Services Act. "The state is supposed to guarantee freedom. Not restrict it." The EU spent years building the most sophisticated censorship machine in the Western world. One man. One veto. Destroyed. Think about what this law actually was. > Governments deciding what you can post. > Governments deciding what you can share. > Governments deciding what is true. > Governments deciding what you are allowed to think. Poland said no. While Germany complied. While France complied. While the entire EU rolled over. Poland vetoed it. - The same Poland that buys more gold than the ECB. - The same Poland that surpassed the European Central Bank in reserves. - The same Poland that has been right about everything. Is now the last wall standing between European citizens and state-controlled speech. The EU doesn't want free citizens. It wants manageable ones. Poland just reminded them what freedom actually looks like. Every European should be paying attention.

This morning, a 65 year-old man woke up in the early hours and heard thieves in his garage. He called the police. Unfortunately, the officer on the phone told him they don't have any police officers free at the moment. The guy hung up and then called again in a moment and tells the officer: - it's about these thieves in my garage. Don't bother coming anymore i’ve shot them. After literally 2 minutes, 4 police cars, Armed response, counter terrorists, ambulances turned up,..... Thieves were obviously caught. Police officers had a chat with the gentleman Officer says - " You said you shot them! " Gentlemen - " And you said you don't have a free police car " Credit: Rudes On a roll

While Utahns protest a 40,000 acre data center their governor fast-tracked in 5 months, His family’s fiber company has quietly collected $38,500,000 in taxpayer money since he took office. Data centers don’t run on good intentions.They run on fiber. His family has the fiber. Do the math, Utah.

Normalize this. @elonmusk is the richest man in the world, yet consistently lives out his pro-child beliefs by bringing his own children into his daily work. He is walking around Beijing China with his son Lil X Kids aren’t burdens—they’re the future.

Xi Jinping dejó al planeta con la boca abierta. En un banquete con solo 47 invitados, el presidente chino miró a Trump y soltó sin filtro: “Trump está haciendo a América grande de nuevo.” Sí, leíste bien. El líder del Partido Comunista Chino recitó el eslogan MAGA en público. Trump convirtió a Xi al MAGA. Xi continuó con un discurso épico: “En el 250 aniversario de la independencia de Estados Unidos, los más de 300 millones de estadounidenses están revitalizando el espíritu de patriotismo, innovación y emprendimiento, e inaugurando un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la nación.” Y remató: “Los pueblos de China y Estados Unidos son dos grandes pueblos. La gran revitalización de la nación china y hacer a América grande de nuevo pueden ir de la mano. Podemos ayudarnos mutuamente a triunfar y llevar prosperidad a todo el mundo.”
