be courageous because cowardice kills [10.15.2026 • 12pm EST • Palantir Store]

If Jeremiah Smith falls to the early-mid 2nd round the Broncos need to trade up for him The 2nd rounds in ‘25 & ‘26 were incredibly mismanaged by this FO. Can’t have yet another year where your 2nd round targets (TreVeyon, Ferguson, Trotter, Rodriguez, Hill Jr) fly off the board

Depending on the definition, maybe 3-5% of the US population is smart but seriously mentally unstable. That group heavily selects into politics, though. So maybe you're getting more like 10-15% among certain political types. That's enough to have a real influence on movements.

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday. 1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away. 2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark. 3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost. 4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper. 5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something. 6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won. 7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field. The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

Mr Beast says he could start a faceless channel tomorrow and hit 20 million subscribers in six months “I could start a new channel tomorrow not using my face or my voice without ever promoting it and in six months have 20 million subscribers” “It’s purely knowledge if you knew what I knew you could get 10 million views a video and 10 million subscribers no matter where you are right now within 6 months” “It really is just knowledge”

quick question how many books have you read so far this year

She accidentally described one of the most replicated findings in behavioral psychology. Harvard and Duke researchers found in 2011 that people value things they build themselves 63% higher than identical pre-assembled versions. They called it the IKEA effect. Labor alone, even assembling a standardized box from instructions, is enough to make people overvalue their own creations. Gardening runs this effect at full intensity. You chose the seeds. You dug the holes. You watered daily. By harvest, your brain has priced that tomato at roughly 10x grocery store rates, and the math feels completely justified. Now stack Kahneman and Tversky's loss aversion on top. Losses register at approximately 2x the emotional intensity of equivalent gains. One of the most replicated findings in behavioral economics. So the aphid eating her garden is triggering both simultaneously. She built something her brain values at 163% of objective worth. She's watching it get destroyed in real time. Her nervous system is processing that destruction at double intensity. The grocery store tomato being out of stock? Mild annoyance. Zero labor investment means zero IKEA effect, means proportional emotional response. The garden tomato carries months of accumulated effort justification. The aphid isn't eating a $4 tomato. Her brain priced it at $40 and is processing the loss at $80. Gardening is the only common hobby that combines the IKEA effect, loss aversion, and a live adversary that reproduces faster than you can respond. The violence tracks.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

Ugh just read a Substack article by a lit mag editor that I'm almost certain was edited with AI. The style is so common: * short, punchy sentences * "This, not that" construction. ("It's not a rejection; it's a sign the process is working...") * Things in threes. ("Not a no, not a rejection, not a closed door. A window to something better...") I cannot say it enough: writers & editors, please stop relying on AI to help you edit your stuff. AI strips you of your own voice & makes you sound like a machine. It's utterly depressing to read such pieces from writers and lit mag editors.

Books should cost about $5
