This warning should pop up more often to help finance people create more self-awareness! 😉

As with fat tails Llms are frequency machines that fail to extrapolate outside the sample set. What they know is the VISIBLE. Almost as bad as economists, almost worse than psychologists.

One of the good things about the VUCA world we live in: so many anti-role models that show you how NOT to live your life.

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak. He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected. France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy. Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust. Honestly? Understandable. Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

Read books. Most of the problems people face with money, career, and life are not new. Someone struggled with it, studied it, and wrote the solution down decades ago. Books compress experience. You get 30 or 40 years of someone else’s lessons in a few hours. That is why reading saves you time, money, and unnecessary mistakes. If you want better results, borrow better thinking from people who have already been where you are trying to go.

Sometimes you find an excellent visualization of the Pareto principle in unexpected places: Museum Ludwig in Köln. "Correction of the national flag, based on wealth distribution. Yellow = big business. Black = middle class. Red = the other households."

CEOs are not owners, just overpaid glorified slaves.

You know what I miss? Turning on something and having it just work. No registering on another device. No signing into an account. No downloading an app. Just plug it in and it does the thing it's supposed to do.

All rumors are fake news until officially denied.

"In order to make a decision you need to focus on the consequences (which you can know) rather than the probability (which you can’t know) is the central idea of uncertainty." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Teaser to the @nntaleb interview in the Dutch newspaper "Het Financieele Dagblad". Interviewer admits he was simply on the receiving end of wisdom "I was shown all corners of the conversational ring". 😂

The only morning routine you need: ㅤ Have something in your life that’s so exciting, you can’t wait to wake up and get out of bed.

The opinion that virtually everyone in the world wants to be American 🇺🇸 is valid only in America, a country where the vast majority don’t own a passport and have never left America. It’s a massively inbred opinion. Most of the world likes being themselves more than being US.

After the latest temper tantrum about Greenland from the orange one, the Danish Parliament decided to rename The Gulf of Mexico to The Gulf of Denmark To honor to Danish Vikings who traveled there 900 years ago
