I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.
His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.
Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

nailed it. Harvard Venture Framework is in part how I underwrite pre-seed also.

BILL ACKMAN JUST WALKED THROUGH HOW HE WOULD UNDERWRITE A SPACEX INVESTMENT USING THE FAMOUS HARVARD VENTURE FRAMEWORK
People, Opportunity, Context, Deal.
Three of the four were already settled in his mind:
People: "SpaceX is 1 of 1."
Opportunity: "1 of 1."
Context: "Incredible. I actually feel bad for Blue Origin."
His view on the business:
"SpaceX is a near monopoly in low-cost space launch. It's going to become increasingly important. Even Amazon is going to have to become a bigger customer because they're not in Blue Origin's timeline."
He added that time has become more valuable in the AI era. Delays cost real money.
The only open question for him is the deal. Valuations of $750B to $1T have been floated.
He also disclosed he is now in SpaceX. Ron Baron told him to invest, so he did.

I'm shocked they haven't deleted this tweet confirming that DOGE cut the funding for the screwworm eradication program.
Have the plague you voted for!
A government agency spending $300 million in taxpayer dollars to produce sterilized flies sounds like a dream scenario for a DOGE team looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse. newsmax.com/platinum/screwwo…

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

I'm a technology optimist. I’ve spent four decades studying disruptive innovation, from the microprocessor, the internet, mobile phones to OpenAI. I'm certain AI will do 80% of the economically valuable work humans do today, for 80% of all jobs, faster than most believe. The question isn't whether mass underemployment arrives, but whether we have a policy framework ready. Right now we don't.

New York Times investigative journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are this generation's Woodward and Bernstein.
This story is Trump's Watergate and it's about to EXPLODE:
Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

Daniel Kahneman - the psychologist who won a Nobel in economics - spent his life proving one thing: your confidence is lying to you
A bat and a ball cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. The answer "10 cents" jumps to mind instantly. It's wrong (it's 5 cents) - and ~50% of students at Harvard, MIT and Princeton say it without checking.
That gap is his whole point: the fast, intuitive mind builds a clean story from almost nothing, and the feeling of certainty has nothing to do with being right.
"Confidence is a feeling, not a judgment."
"Stock pickers can't develop intuition - there isn't enough regularity for it to form."
"You can build a very coherent story out of very little information."

Nassim Taleb sat down with Daniel Kahneman - two of the sharpest minds on risk ever - and the takeaway was blunt: stop trying to be smart
Kahneman's prospect theory explains why almost nobody can do what Taleb does
We're wired to hate the steady trickle of small losses his strategy needs - even when one huge win more than pays for all of them
So you structure it the other way: tiny safe bets plus a few wild ones, never the comfortable middle.
"You'd rather be antifragile than intelligent - any time."
"Trial and error is really just trial with small error."
"Make your gains in small bites. Take your losses all at once."

One piece of advice we got during YC was to explain our company using verbs instead of nouns.
Early on, I walked into a meeting and did the opposite:
“We’re building a cloud platform for AI”
No one knew that that meant, their eyes glazed over. Then I started saying this instead:
“We containerize your code and run it on GPUs in the cloud so you don’t have to manage the infra yourself”
That clicked way more. Our brains understand verbs because they’re more concrete. If you describe your company using nouns, you risk people not understanding you.
And no one buys or invests in things they don’t understand.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement.
"Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."
