I didn't want to be just a scientist. I wanted to be an inventor, entrepreneur, writer, and a tech expert. So, I became a scientist #STEM

One of the most important ideas I want more young ambitious people, especially founders, to believe: you can be a savage AND a young father at the same time Take huge swings. Work incredibly hard. Be a Dad.
Past a certain age, a man without a family can be a bad thing.

Going to leave you with this tonight: The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cafes, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you. Night gang.

the future is going to be awesome
I finished my estimate on required compute to make an atomic-resolution virtual cell: 10^38 FLOPs to simulate a human cell for 1 day. We should be able to do this simulation in 2074 using 200 TW of power. 1/3

maximize luck surface area
A great question to ask yourself: “how can I increase my surface area for luck?”

It seems so much more civilized when you arrive in America from Europe, and bottle caps just come right off. That regulation was a big mistake. It's as if the bureaucrats were seeking out something with a high ratio of annoyance to impact.

you are the best at being the best version of yourself
You are meant for greatness because you are not replaceable. No one else has your exact mix of drive, scars, and perspective. Mediocrity comes from ignoring this uniqueness. Express it fully, and you’ll build a destiny no rival can copy.

Confession: I've never successfully "managed" a stakeholder. Not once. Not a single time in my career. Every time I tried to "manage" someone, they pushed back harder. Every framework I used made things worse. 🧵

never delegate the story
Founders can delegate everything except recruiting, fundraising, strategy, and product vision.

results =/= no results + good story
There is no award for “best excuse for not achieving your goals.”

maximize luck surface area
I have a working theory that this weird skill of 'unclenching' also makes you quantifiably 'luckier' in life. It turns out that what we label as 'luck' is a combination of the following measurable factors: ↓
