May Europe one day wake up and start striving for this level of capitalistic homerun. Dump the degrowth nonsense, celebrate progress, and once again reach for the stars.
Elon Musk just created ~5,000 new millionaires, current and former $SPCX employees. Of those ~5,000 people, roughly 400 of them will see stakes worth $100 million.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but… Europe would be a thousand times better off today with a smaller population and much cheaper living costs for young people and families than with 50 million Moslems who drain public services like leeches and have completely collapsed the housing market. It just blows my mind..

AI Agents sind wie Inflation: Brutto sparen sie Zeit – netto bleibt nichts übrig, weil alle anderen sie auch nutzen.

I'm 33. I deeply regret spending so much of my younger times programming, working and investing. If you're 21, go make some friends. It only gets harder as you age.

I'm 27. I deeply regret spending so much of my younger years playing games and watching anime. The freshest, most youthful days of my life wasted away. If you're 21, please Lock In. It only gets harder as you age.

Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”
