Talent is rare.
Know what's rarer?
The ability to sit at your desk for 12 hours a day, say no to everything, take risk, work without reward and grind the work regardless of motivation.
Talented people fail all the time. The grinder's destroy and conquer. Be the latter.

Andrew Huberman on the best advice he ever got: figure out the most real work you can do every day, consistently, and find a way to reset every week.
"The best advice I ever got: there was a neurologist out at UC Berkeley and UCSF, Bob Knight, some years ago, very talented. I asked him for advice starting graduate school."
"He said, 'Figure out the maximum amount of real work that you can do every day consistently, and then figure out some non-destructive way to reset yourself every single week.'"
"I said, 'How do you reset?' He said he likes fishing. I like to hike. I like to get into nature and spend time with people while I do it. I figured out I could work X number of hours per day, 5 days a week, and I just stuck to it for 25 years."
"People who take a ton of stimulants and just blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz. These are the same people that crash and disappear. You have to figure out and build your capacity."
"Yes, you have to work extremely hard. You have to be extremely focused. But you also have to figure out how long you can keep this up."

Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman built one of the most popular podcasts in the world by turning health research into protocols millions of people actually use.
His top three habits are surprisingly straightforward: get bright light shortly after waking, resistance train, and make the sleep you can get as high-quality as possible.
He joins a16z’s Daisy Wolf to walk through the protocols he actually follows, from his 35-year workout to the lockbox he keeps his social media phone in, and explains why packing in every protocol can backfire if it gets in the way of the rest of your life.
For founders, he explains why the hours your brain does its best work are worth guarding like a fight, how to find the most real work you can sustain, and why sleep is where neurotech will win first.

The most underrated communication skill is knowing when to stop talking. In a negotiation, a sales call, or a tough conversation, the pause after you've made your point does more work than another sentence. Say it clearly, then let the other person fill the silence.

A startup’s biggest bottleneck is the founder’s ability to seek out evidence that they’re wrong about their product and themselves and act on it before the market forces them to.
Farewell, Jean-Luc.
truly one of the greatest thespians of all time.
i’m going to have to binge watch Star Trek TNG soon.
RIP Patrick Stewart 💔

I was expecting Israel to be a little America—mostly English-speaking, a land full of convenience.
What I found was distinctly Middle Eastern—the people are brash, speak with their hands, and often don't know a lick of English. There are stray cats everywhere, mopeds, and graffiti. The street signs are in Hebrew, English, and Arabic. There is a mosque on prime beachfront property in Tel Aviv.
There is every kind of citizen imaginable. I saw Ethiopian Jews serving in the IDF. While touring an ancient Jewish site, I ran into a group of Arab schoolchildren also there to learn. I met a Mizrahi cab driver whose parents fled Morocco in the 50s.
Douglas Murray famously made Americans irate when he flamed Dave Smith on an episode of Joe Rogan for having never traveled to Israel—but he’s right. Visiting Israel shows you just how wrong the west is about the Jewish state.
Just go there.
a salient question with no easy answer

Muslim women in burqas voting in the Israeli elections today.
Muslim women have more rights in Israel than in basically any Muslim country.

Stop frying your brain with endless short form content. Read long, complicated, books. Especially novels. Cultivate the ability to think deeply. To focus for long periods. Stare into space and enjoy boredom. Do tasks without any media playing in the background. Resist the urge to reach for your phone every time you feel uncomfortable. Get used to being with uncomfortable emotions instead. Wonder and think about the questions you have instead of asking AI. Become deeply present with everyone around you. Your ability to focus, pay attention, to think deeply, is one of your most valuable assets. Reclaim the immense beauty of experiencing your life directly instead of living it through a screen.

in order to win you have to be willing to become completely incomprehensible to people who have no intention of living the life you want. think about how absurd it is to take the one existence you have been given and spend it negotiating the terms of your own ambition with people who will never have to live with the consequences of your surrender. let them think you've lost your mind. there are worse things than being misunderstood. you could spend your whole life being understood perfectly and never once find out what you were capable of.

Kudos to @BenMulroney for composing this brilliant Israel land acknowledgement, recited tonight at the Bnai Brith gala. This should be recited at every Jewish or Zionist gathering.

Everytime you show up and allow yourself to be seen despite feeling fear, your psyche learns: "this fear no longer has the power to shut me down".
That's what self liberation looks like. Keep going.
