A lot of people want to see you fail to justify the risks they chose not to take. Remove them from your life, ruthlessly.

You can spend 5 years, working harder than anyone else, writing the best book in the world, but if nobody knows about it, then you will not be a successful author. This is the downfall of most creatives. They hate marketing, but marketing is 80% of their success.

delete tiktok. watch old movies. embrace boredom. quit doomscrolling. eat without stimulation. hang out in book shops. slow your mornings down. walk without headphones. start believing in yourself. create phone boundaries. stare out the window. visualize your future. learn new skills. seek discomfort. experience life.

When I lose 2 arms and a leg in a car crash and the doctor tries saving me

She’s being honest, and I actually respect the honesty. But women have to understand that social media has given men access to conversations they were never supposed to hear. For most of history, the average man didn’t have access to millions of women openly discussing how they view men, dating, marriage, sex, attention and relationships. Now he does, & information changes behavior. So when women ask, ‘Why don’t men yearn anymore?’ or ‘What happened to 90s love?’ part of the answer is that you’re asking men with far more information to behave like men who knew far less. You can’t give men access to conversations their fathers and grandfathers never heard in abundance and expect them to approach women & interact with women the same way.

Other women aren’t going to admit it and if you’re married you shouldn’t but as a woman, I love being desired by other men. Hearing it from your partner isn’t enough. And it doesn’t have to be online attention. Hearing how beautiful you are by a random man on a Tuesday afternoon

989 billionaires are now worth 22% of our GDP. We have more wealth concentration than the gilded age. Join Bernie & me on October 3rd in SF & October 5th in LA to tax California billionaires at 5% one time to pay for the healthcare of California kids.

it’s insanely fun when you find ppl who will endlessly riff with you about virtually anything. like something stupid, profound, maybe something even offensive, a half baked idea, or just complete garbage. you just keep tossing thoughts back & forth forever. this is one of the most underrated forms of compatibility. if you have friends like these it makes ordinary time feel unusually alive. & if you have a relationship like this it’s even more valuable cuz most of life is thousands of random dinners, car rides, walks, errands, & nights on the couch. if the two of you can make basically anything entertaining to each other you’ve solved a surprisingly large part of the problem.

The truth most men find too late is that you are nothing without blood ties. all the wealth and status and women you chase is a pitiful mimic of the real thing that should have been your pole star from the start: your woman, children, lineage. God forbid we lose our way and raise a generation of runaway fathers chasing shiny nothings while their queen sit neglected, their castle crumbling, their offspring wandering lost like little ghosts through hallways that should have been filled with laughter and warmth. i am the tribe and the tribe is me. this is all i do, all i live, all i die for. let my bones be buried in the garden of my work, facing east to greet the dawn of another day spent on what is holy

i was having dinner with someone recently who asked why i spend so much time reading & posting on x. she had a pretty negative perception of the platform mostly shaped by the mainstream narrative around it. my answer was simple. x is where the future gets beta tested. you basically get to watch ppl build things, talk through ideas, show off stuff, & argue about where everything is going, way way before it reaches anyone else. there really isn’t another surface on the internet quite like it.

i’ve been back home for a few days, in the tiny italian town where i grew up. maybe 6,000 people. yesterday i saw some old school friends i hadn’t seen in years and it was genuinely fascinating how little their lives have changed. most people here don’t go to university. they finish school and start working right away. then that’s kind of their life. wake up, work as an electrician or mechanic, come home, watch football, beer with friends on friday. work all year, save enough money for a week of vacation in august, come back and repeat. most have basically no idea what AI is. all the things that feel world-changing to me and to the timeline barely enter their lives at all. when i start talking about AI, self-driving cars, robots, rockets, all the things i’m insanely excited about, they mostly just scoff. completely uninterested. and i don’t even mean any of this as an insult. a lot of them seem perfectly fine with their lives. that’s what makes it so strange. their lives now feel completely foreign to mine, while also being incredibly familiar. we grew up in the same town, went to the same schools, knew the same people. our families and childhoods weren’t that different. if i had made a couple different choices when i was 14 or 15, there’s a very real chance that would have been my life too. sometimes you go home and realize just how many completely different versions of your life were only a few decisions away.

I never realized jogging in your 50s would be a great way to meet new people. Just today, I met two nurses, two EMTs, and a cardiologist. I was so close to meeting Jesus too.

I’m a star, how can I not shine?

Every choice you make comes from an external idea.

There may not be many people left in 10 years who can write, or want to read, things longer than a page or two. But there will be at least a few of us, and we'll be a powerful club.

dating a founder is the modern equivalent of waiting for your husband to come back from war

I just got home from a work trip. This is how I am greeted at my door. This is literally the greatest feeling on earth. It’s peak life. The purest joy. Anyone who would reject this — or seek to harm it — is agent of the darkest evil. You are cursed. Anyone who defends harming children can go to hell…and will. There’s actually no compromise on this issue if you’re a Christian. God help us. Matthew 18:6

Why are so many women sooo angry? They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well. They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they are the majority of college graduates, (UCLA undergrad is 60% female), they make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction, and alcoholism, and live longer. They won: they took over all men-only spaces, they took over the Boy Scouts, they ended men’s bathrooms, they can fly fighter planes and be in combat. Marriage is optional, divorce is no-fault, they win 99% of the custody battles, they can control fertility at will, and they can’t get drafted. We are all living in the female future they promised.

we make it impossible for people to build a life and have kids during their most fertile years. forcing them to graduate in degrees to do jobs that do not require a college degree. kids finish their training at 25-30, without a cent to their names, without the skills to work. college teaches you the theory, but not the skills. 4-10 years studying to learn a job that would really take 6 months of internship by doing the actual job. obviously they are not building families. not having kids. delegating their family to egg freezing. the incentives are all backwards. we infantilized entire generations who at 30 are supposed to be full-fledged adults, while they still act and live like teenagers and then act surprised if people are not having kids
