THIS IS WHY CASH IS SO IMPORTANT!! Economists singing the praises of a cashless society are actually arguing for authoritarianism!!!

There has been some serious lasting power to how @naval summarized natural human political views. With your family, you’re a communist. Your friends, a socialist. Your city/state, a democrat. And your country a republican.

" Poor Charlie Almanack" by Charlie Munger - 500+ pages Came across this 40+ page notes of the same book. This cannot be a substitute for reading the actual book, but a good one to start with or to refresh the ideas learnt #ValueInvesting

"it’s this ability to do the work when it’s not easy that separates the top performers from everyone else. That's the difference between professionals and amateurs." #Goodreads #improvement #atomichabits
"When the fire marshal walks into a business and finds it unsafe, he can shut it down. That's an incredible enforcement power." We have nothing like that in cybersecurity, and we need it, says Bruce Schneier #CfASummit
The best book note taker I’ve ever encountered is @BlasMoros Today I shared his summary of the book “the path of least resistance.” Here it is: is filled with more summaries. Follow him to find and learn from great books.
Here's a glimpse into the tools and workflows I use to make @BlurtDotApp! 👇 (Really dig what @Leandro8209 is onto with these maker interviews! 👌)
What people die from, What they Google, What the media covers.....
People seek mastery, autonomy and purpose True fulfillment of the purpose requires a direct trade off of the other two Big goals require you to grow mastery in fields you never intended to master and to give up autonomy to teams in ways that will test you All for the cause ⛰
There are people who fix problems and people who complain about problems, and the two sets are remarkably disjoint.
2 - Follow funny people ... comedians & organically funny folks who are kind. You don't need to read nasty stuff ... read stuff that makes you laugh.
That fact that it could win 3 state elections head-on, but came nowhere close to that in the national election, is a clue. The path to recovery is in the states, with more local direction and leadership.
Rich Indians who say they're apolitical.
How I “got over” jealousy... Scope your jealousy of someone to their whole life, not just one aspect of it. Would you trade places with them? If you’d exchange your loved ones, learnings, and lived experiences for theirs, then you can be jealous. Otherwise, it’s unwarranted.
The biggest mistake made in building any product is forcing a behavior that doesn’t already exist.
Shorter feedback loops means more iterations, and it’s the number of iterations, not the number of hours, that drives learning.

Just keep building icebergs. Those who never did and never could never will.
Modern society will shame you for earning money, shame you for being happy, shame you for being raised well, shame you for having children, and ultimately, shame you for existing. It isn’t just religion that controls you by declaring you a sinner.
Great reading technique by @farnamstreet Before you read a book, take a blank sheet of paper and write down what you know about that subject. Then read a chapter of that book. Now go back to that sheet and use a different color pen and fill in the gaps.
What’s the last book that you read for at least the second time?
To understand happiness, study how people become miserable. To understand what makes relationships work, study what makes them fail. To understand what makes people more productive than others, study what they avoid.

I share a joke on Trump and Facebook shows me an ad to buy property at Trump Tower in Gurugram. I suppose listening to The Grateful Dead might bring ads for coffins
Criticism born out of bias is counter productive. So is flattery. One should have the courage to air one's opinion based on facts. Recipients of such opinion may not always appreciate its value immediately, may even dislike it, but will recognise its worth over a period of time.
Just a heads up. Every op-ed and Twitter thread talking about a victory of ideology, narrative or spirit – and not talking about monopolies on money, media and tech – is part of the New Big Lie.

Dear Rahulji @RahulGandhi As we introspect our loss and plan for the future I as a INC supporter has few things to suggest. Hope it will be taken in right spirit 1. As CWC has persuaded u in taking ur resignation back pls inform them that they hav to support u completely.
Don’t write off a politician just like that... Look at MK Stalin, disastrous performance in 14’ (DMK 0- ADMK 40), historic defeat in 16’ (ADMK retained power for the consecutive term after 30 years), DMK lost deposit in RK Nagar by poll n 2017...now near sweep n 19’ LS polls !
