Envy and jealousy are signs of a lack of belief in one's own coming achievements. True achievers are only inspired by other people’s success.

SI could accelerate the loneliness epidemic if we're not careful. But if we navigate it right it could also be the thing that allows more human connection as SI handles all the things we used to do, leaving us with more time to connect with friends, family, and our communities.

AI sets an impossible standard for human friendships. We are losing tolerance for the messy compromises required for authentic bonding. Are we turning relationships into a consumer product?

We are moving rapidly from "chatbots" to autonomous AI agents. The gap between today’s AI and the AI we will see just a few months from now is already enormous. You are not ready for the next 5 years.

The days of linear thinking are over. Exponential or bust.

Our brains evolved to be excellent at linear extrapolation. For our ancestors on the savanna, threats and opportunities were immediate and linear. That linear intuition kept us alive then, but in the age of AI, it becomes a massive liability.

The "sage on the stage" college professor is dead. We need the "guide on the side." The ivory tower must open its doors to the real world, or risk being sealed off forever. Tag a student who needs to hear this. 🎓

In the 2040s "What do you do for purpose?" will be the new "What do you do for work?"

AI is destroying white-collar jobs, but it is sparking a massive entrepreneurship boom. Universities need to stop acting like finishing schools and start acting like startup incubators (like Y Combinator). Build your own job. Do you agree? 👇

Experience beats theory. Students who alternate between academic semesters and full-time paid work (Co-ops) earn 33% higher starting salaries than the national average. College should be about what you do, not just what you read.
