ROI is a fabrication to distract you. Measuring your wealth by financial yield is the easiest way to ensure you never actually get free. It's the ultimate distraction, a pacifier for the working class and the "rich" folk a notch above them. While you are sweating over a 7% return on an index fund, the money printer is endlessly running. We have entered an era of infinite fiat expansion. The currency you are desperately trying to multiply is being diluted by the trillions, meaning "yield" is a mirage. The elite do not play this game. They don't obsess over percentage gains in a stock portfolio because they operate by a completely different set of economic physics. They are positioned closest to the money printer. When new capital floods the system, it doesn't distribute evenly. It flows directly into the assets of those at the top long before it ever reaches the retail markets. Because of this proximity, the elite absorb the wealth of inflation. They benefit from the printing, while the masses pay for it through the silent erosion of their purchasing power. In a world where central banks can will trillions into existence overnight, traditional financial ROI is pure noise. So what do you measure if ROI is DOA? The elite measure success by a completely different standard: Return on Time. True wealth doesn't come from squeezing an extra percent out of a rigged system. It comes from one simple optimization: maximum output, completely divorced from your ongoing input. To escape the cycle, you don't need a better mutual fund or stock picking strategy. You need absolute sovereignty. Absolute sovereignty means detaching your livelihood from a system designed to silently siphon your life’s energy. How? 1. Own hard assets that cannot be printed away. 2. Engineer extreme leverage through code, capital, or media. 3. Build autonomous systems that capture massive value without consuming your calendar. Stop trading your finite, irreplaceable time for a rapidly depreciating currency. The goal isn't yield in a world of lies and fake money. The goal is freedom.

“can’t be counted out” points to the idea that their legitimacy is always in question and has to be re-proven every year. They are the measuring stick, so why would they be counted out? No other dynasty has had to carry the burden of truth the way the Aces do & it’s obvious why.

Yeah that’s the core challenge for Wallchain: measuring real contribution, not just raw activity.

Sometimes a stylist’s intuition is spot on. I booked a client on my day off, and it turned out to be the right call-it was a real challenge. The hair density is just mind-blowing, with the ponytail measuring a whopping 5 cm in diameter! A truly magnificent, luxurious mane. It was a complex, meticulous process that took the entire day, from morning till late evening. Yes, I am incredibly tired, but the result was worth every single minute. The client is 100% happy, and those joyful eyes are the ultimate reward in our profession. ✂️❤️

Measuring gdp per capita in terms of purchasing power parity is useful but you can see the limits of it when thinking about trying to compete in AI. Money might go further in your country but you actually need mountains of cash if you want to build your own AI hyperscaler

measuring real contribution instead of raw activity is the hard problem worth solving

I don't think it's 50/50. Looking at the exact scenario in your image: • House gets cleaned. • Person is polite. • No obligation from the homeowner. • $500 is left behind every week. My guess is that a majority would eventually say yes, but not necessarily because they like the aesthetic. Something like: • 60–80% Yes → "It's unusual, but the house is clean and I'm getting $500." • 20–40% No → "I don't care about the money; I don't want this dynamic in my home." The key point is that the poll isn't really testing attraction to the presentation. It's testing: "How much discomfort are you willing to tolerate for $26,000 a year?" That's why the money is so powerful in the scenario. If you removed the $500 and asked: "Would you hire him at normal market rates?" I suspect the Yes percentage would drop significantly because now people are evaluating only the presentation and service. The most interesting poll might actually be a progression: Poll 1 Would you hire him? No money involved. Poll 2 Would you hire him if he left $100 every visit? Poll 3 Would you hire him if he left $500 every visit? You'd be measuring the exact point where practical benefit starts overcoming aesthetic preference. That's a more interesting social experiment than a simple Yes/No question. #femdom

Sejal Pawar thought calling KEM Hospital "chindi" made her look cool. Then came the stories about measuring the private parts of a dead body and turning it into casual public conversation. This isn't confidence. It isn't humour. It isn't "being savage." It's poor judgment. If a man had made the exact same remarks, there would be demands for FIRs, suspension, cancellation, and lectures about respect, consent, and dignity. But apparently, principles have a gender. When women cross the line, society asks everyone to relax and "take a joke." When men do it, they're held up as proof of everything wrong with society. Same conduct. Different standards. That's not equality. That's selective outrage pretending to be morality.

"The problem with grind culture is that it focuses on intermediate metrics instead of outcomes. Measuring success by hours worked is like deciding a basketball game based on who sweated the most instead of checking the scoreboard. Great companies hire great players and judge them on results. If you're forcing crazy hours and beds in the office, you're probably solving for the wrong thing." @matanSF Love to hear your thoughts @lmcorrigan1 @WillManidis @beffjezos @garrytan

It doesn’t matter how long the journey takes. Stop measuring your progress against strangers on the internet. Most of them are performing, not trading. Every skill worth having takes years to build. Trading is no different. Stay in your lane. The timeline doesn't matter. Quitting does.

$PLG $PLG is one worth keeping on the watchlist. On Thursday, price printed a bullish Fred Tam candle at descending support of a falling wedge, signaling that buyers were stepping in to defend a key demand zone. Friday delivered confirmation with follow-through buying, validating the potential pivot low and shifting short-term momentum back toward the bulls. Price is now approaching falling wedge resistance, an important test that will determine whether this is simply another relief bounce or the start of a trend change. A breakout with strong momentum could trigger a shift in sentiment, but bulls still need to prove themselves against overhead resistance, particularly the 50-day EMA, which has rejected prior bounce attempts in both April and May. The key from here is measuring the strength of any breakout and watching whether former resistance levels can be reclaimed and held as support.

Just a brief summary of this immediately practical paper on off-label options for making up smaller doses to facilitate hyperbolic tapering, for haloperidol. The paper tested the off-label options that we put in the RCpsych guidance for stopping antidepressants (and also found in the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines). It found that the following techniques all delivered doses that were within 90-110% of the target dose (which is the threshold normally used for manufacturers when making tablets): - using a liquid with a dropper mechanism - splitting tablets with a tablet cutter (halves and quarters) - using a dosing syringe from a liquid preparation - diluting a manufacturer’s liquid with water and dispensing with a syringe - crushing up a tablet and dispersing them in water to make up a suspension, and then measuring with a syringe A few points: although both were in acceptable range, diluting a manufacturer’s liquid was more accurate than suspending a crushed tablet in water. Splitting tablets and drop based liquids were more inaccurate than measuring liquids with a syringe. The drop based liquids were most inaccurate at smaller doses (makes sense: where variations between drops becomes more important). Overall using a manufacturer’s liquid with a syringe (the dropper mechanism on many such liquids can be removed to use a syringe) and then switching to using dilutions of this solution with water and measuring with a syringe when the volumes measured get below 0.2mL (which caused greater variability in measurement using a 1mL syringe). This happens to be the exact scheme we used as the default (when a liquid was available) in the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines. Some drugs don’t come as manufacturer’s solutions so it is good to know that crushing a tablet and suspending it in water is a good fall back (also for people who don’t react well to manufacturer’s solutions). The main technique not tested in this paper was measurement of tablet fragments using a weighing scale. Link to paper in Radoslaw's post. What a brilliant contribution to the literature that will have practical consequences straight away.
