Mid-life crises are caused by accumulating emotional debt. Usually from someone doing what they felt like they "should" do at the expense of what they wanted to do

I did a new podcast with @dkazand about how to help others process big emotions and "feel their feelings"
IMO it's a key life skill, esp for relationships, parenting, and self-integration!
We did a live demo of resonance for emotional processing. It's an improvable skill!
most problems are people problems, which are really emotional regulation problems

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit social media.
This was the largest study on emotional health in history.
The results were so shocking, scientists called it "comparable to therapy."
Here's what happens when you break free from the algorithm:

Your 40s will destroy your happiness.
You'll work 60-hour weeks while your kids need money and your parents need care.
Ray Dalio calls this the "midlife squeeze" - and it breaks most people.

Solana is rolling out the most significant change to its core protocol since launch: a new consensus mechanism called Alpenglow.
This thread breaks down how Alpenglow works, how it compares to Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake, and what this means for developers, users, and investors.

I have a VC friend and a hedge fund friend who shadowed each other at their respective firms: attended IC meetings, diligence sessions, & team meetings.
The VC left awed and impressed at how well run the hedge fund was. In his words, "these guys go to a level of detail & sophistication I didn't think was possible. They're way smarter & harder working than anyone in my firm".
The hedge fund guy was appalled at the VC firm. In his words, "it's utter chaos there. They take random meetings all day with people they're randomly introduced to. They don't even take notes, don't follow up, don't do any research. They claim to know within 5 minutes if they want to invest or not based on what, the founder's body language? It's crazy".
The funny thing is, they are both very successful investors.

poker math is fascinating:
-the top 3% of pre-flop hands (JJ, QQ, KK, AK) alone account for more than 80% of profit in poker.
-the top 11.6% of pre-flop hands generate 99% of profit. (pocket 8's and up)
power laws rule everything around me :)

Disagree.
A bunch of visitor VCs left. The people committed to the craft are still here.
It's never been easy to last in VC over an extended period of time, it just got easy to FUNDRAISE in 2021, and people didn't realize the job is about longevity and performance.
Bankers are gone. VCs still here.
The VC industry is contracting, with emerging funds in decline. This effects the whole ecosystem and also disproportionately impacts diverse investors bloomberg.com/news/articles/… W/ @KateClarkTweets
