When two people believe opposite things, chances are that one of them is wrong. It pays to find out if that someone is you. That’s why I believe you must appreciate and develop the art of thoughtful disagreement.

That’s what Richard Duncan @PaperMoneyEcon has been saying.

Everyone fails. Anyone you see succeeding is only succeeding at the things you're paying attention to--I guarantee they are also failing at lots of other things. The people I respect most are those who fail well. I respect them even more than those who succeed. (1/3)

A question for the Twittersphere: How much would you be willing for your government to invest in medical R&D in order to end aging? If that spending caused inflation, what level of inflation would you be willing to tolerate to never grow old?
I now think there is a 50% chance that we will reach longevity escape velocity by 2036. After that point (the "Methuselarity"), those who regularly receive the latest rejuvenation therapies will never suffer from age-related ill-health at any age.

It’s officially new belt day today! I was wondering if I should wait and post this on 3/16 but I decided against it. We will cover this one in great detail on “Title Chase” for @adfreeshows some day. And that’s the bottom line... ah you know the rest! @steveaustinBSR

Federal Reserve Notes outstanding increased by $273 billion or by 16% over the last 12 months. Reports of The Dollar's demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated. #Dollar #Fed

If you're focused on the goal, excited about achieving it, and recognize that doing some undesirable tasks to achieve the goal is required, you will have the right perspective and will be appropriately motivated. (1/3)

I’m making progress towards eliminating the phrase “have to” from my speech. I much prefer the phrase “choose to” because it better acknowledges both my power and my responsibility to create my own life. #choice #createyourownlife #power

As Father, I’ve found inspiration to be far more powerful than command. Threats to enforce commands beget begrudged obedience at best. Threat is lazy, and lacks creativity. Inspiration begets positive behaviors from freewill. #allprodad

My poor dad was a Democrat who switched to Republican to run against his boss the Governor. Dad could not stand the corruption. The governor forbid my dad from working in Hawaii. That is why he was poor. President Regan switched from Democrat to Republican. So did President Trump

Three approaches to risk. Take risk. Avoid risk. Manage risk. Taking risk is boldness without intelligence. Avoiding risk is cowardice without intelligence. To manage risk requires education and an even temperament."

Risk is related to control. More control, less risk. Less control, more risk. No control…..gambling.

Enjoyed a powerful interview with a @JeffBooth as we discussed his new book @priceoftomorrow. Things can change and many people won’t know what hit them. This episode will be on the CFA podcast soon.

As I look back to learn from my most painful losses, two themes are clear. Almost without exception, I was either trying to do something I did not fully understand, or I knew exactly what I should do, but tried to shortcut my rules. Temperament is as important as education.

Understanding MMT begins with understanding the threat of prison for tax evaders. That is the cornerstone of MMT. Value of currency exists due to the monopoly of creation and dispersement, followed by its required surrender via taxation. It’s been US policy since 1971.
