I have a beautiful memory from each bull market that I hold onto in the bear. 2017- I’m in central park with my wife eating lunch watching people ice skate and i feel at peace. 2021- I’m drunk on delirium tremens playing video games talking shit to my friends online and I feel at peace. 2025- I’m on the beach with my family in Newport, I’m watching the kids play in the waves and I feel at peace. That’s it. There are three tranquil moments in 10 years. The rest of the time I’m at war lol

In the spirit of you can just do things I improved NASA’s high iso photo of the earth in Lightroom. Cleaned up the noise, boosted the saturation, got rid of the window and flipped it the “right way” based on the mercator projection.

I have this sort of sense that you shouldn’t really be able to cleanly articulate what you do to anybody. Like if someone asks what you do and you say “radiologist” or “lawyer”that it’s somehow a bad thing or at least not optimal. I’ve felt this for a long time now, but I usually don’t say it because it’s so counter to common culture and I also think the people who know what I mean already get it and the people who don’t, don’t. But to detail it, It’s something like the world is moving really fast and changing very rapidly and in order to be taking advantage of that you want to be doing the job which has no name and which couldn’t even have been conceived of 10-15 years ago. Something that is only presently possible, but still not well enough understood to be classified. It’s not legible to outsiders and so it’s harder to explain yourself, harder to credential yourself or to raise money, but that friction is the moat. That’s sort of the sweet spot for growth maximization. To me anyway.

Here are some more super amazing photos that you probably think are fake.

All worry, all concern, all fear is atheism.

Do you know him?

A group that doesn’t protect its own will die. A group that does will thrive. Simple really.
