I’m sorry but the bangers this guy puts out on a routine basis are enough to define it as a successful presidency.
I feel like way too many of us have forgotten what the backward bending labor supply curve is all about
It’s way cooler to be an apparition that lives above everyone else in the ether, only looking down to observe the common people and accumulate encyclopedic knowledge which can be regurgitated into said ether, leaving nothing behind when its existence quietly and inevitably ends.
a primary residence is a terrible asset for most ppl cuz you:
- concentrate a huge percentage of your net worth in one illiquid object.
- pay insane transaction costs to enter & exit (not to mention tons of middle men jesus christ).
- pay property tax, insurance, maintenance, repairs, hoa fees, interest, etc.
- assume geographic immobility.
- often consume more housing than you would have rented.
- get no cash flow from the asset.
you should only do it if you want long term emotional investment (e.g. if you have a family to raise or whatever) or you're rich af.
Take a few years off from your wife and kids to build a new company. No seriously, do it. They’ll be there when you get back.
I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
Post Ranch or Ventana for the send off? Or is it Esalen because he’s a 25 year old techie with no taste yet?

All it took to save the market was liquidating a 24 year old twink and 5million Koreans.
We’ll take the watch from here.
Who finally decided that the weird cold spray they’d run out there and spray all over a soccer player’s boo-boo didn’t actually do anything and we could end the charade?
