The most useful razors and rules I've found: 1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim 2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison. 3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late. 4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line. I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made. 5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett 6. The 7-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "7 figures" -- assume it's closer to $1 million than $9 million. 7. Mack's Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money. If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.) 8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen. They just picked the best one. 9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie 10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year. 11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it. 12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it: • Turn a thought into a written idea. • A written idea into a drawing. • A drawing into an equation. • An equation into a conversation. In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections. 13. The Roman Empire Razor - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later. If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late. 14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain. E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge. 15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it: • Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action • Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction 16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it. Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply. 17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information. Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've: • Seen primary sources • Spoken to 3 domain experts 18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma. The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

Taking out a $200k loan to pay for an education that costs a $1.50 in late fees at the local library is crazy to me.

Succession meets Thanksgiving
Shiv, Kendall, Tom, Greg and Roman discuss who is in charge of the Thanksgiving dinner #successionhbo
This is the issue with what’s happening. If people are going to go through all of this chaos and pain they want to know what for and that hasn’t been articulated.
Replying to @peterclowes
I just want to know what I am signing up for (besides pain). (Side note: Being left solely to put out fired and keep services running isn’t exactly what I dream of doing as an engineer)

When Smart Money plays with Other People’s Money it’s never Smart
9 Nov 2022
This year I learned that there is no"smart money" A16z, Sequioa, Chamath, Tiger, Tribe Capital, Coatue, Softbank, Paradigm, Ark, 3AC, Alameda, FTX, etc.. all made terrible financial decisions, at huge size. and yet - most will get richer.

Also true of our up bringing. If we don’t struggle through things and everything is done for us we are limiting our growth.

Birds are fed by their parents in their infancy. When the time comes to feed themselves, there can be some confusion when the food does not go into their mouth by itself.

1/ Here's a fun thread on how to ruin Western civilization. *Except it's not so fun because it's sort of happening... Some might find my analysis and analogies somewhat controversial, but at least it will be thought provoking.

Building great products doesn’t happen by accident but through deliberate effort. Great lessons from Steve Jobs.
22 Sep 2022
Steve Jobs gave one of his best interviews about building products back in 1995. Anyone who wants to craft amazing products should watch it. Here are 9 quotes from Jobs that really resonated with me:
