i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from: -getting humiliated -showing up terrified and doing it anyway -admitting you might be the problem

It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.

You must always remember that, before the Industrial Revolution, 50% of all people died before age 5. If you forget this, you understand neither the history that shaped us nor what still lurks in the shadows.

Public executions. Net energy exporter. Gilded palaces. Humiliation at the hands of the Houthis. We've finally done it. We're Saudi Arabia.

In New York and many other cities, everybody knows that the zoning code is basically fake. It exists to be too restrictive. If you want to build anything of value, you need a zoning change. Why? Because if you need a zoning change, the city can squeeze you for all you're worth.
It would be illegal to build almost every single building in midtown/downtown Manhattan today because it's been downzoned so many times

The world is freaking hard. If you do not adapt to that, you will be absolutely trampled by it. Whether you are raising boys or girls, give them resiliency, self-belief, and more confidence you think they'll ever need....because they will use it all.

One thing you realize is that most ultimatums in life are binary, if you fall long enough, it's up or out. Every man faces this demon on things he really cares about at least a few times in his life. You have to stare into the abyss and really contemplate if you're willing to be out, if not, the only other option is up. Then, you just have to make it work.

The difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran War is that Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

This is going to sound crazy. But, one of the skills you must learn in the near future is how to cope with an increasingly illiterate society of emotionally dysregulated people. If you continue to get frustrated on a daily basis over how everything seems dumb, stress is going to silently jeopardize your health.

Hundreds of people with $3-5 million homes in the second most expensive city in the hemisphere gather to put a stop to “greedy developers” building a tower with hundreds of $1.5 million “luxury condos” that will each pay 5x more property tax than them.
Hundreds of #SanFrancisco Marina residents turned out this evening for townhall on controversial @Safeway housing plan, which would place what for many is an uncomfortably tall, 22 & 18 story project at the low-slung neighborhood’s waterfront. @sfchronicle

Without credit ratings you end up like Mexico where 60% of households are under or not banked at all. As a result any credit that you can get costs a fortune. Which is mostly irrelevant because chances are you just end up locked in the underclass with no chance of getting out.
"credit scores were only invented in the 70s - we can get rid of them and we should" Many people have extremely bad intuition of understanding of what financial life was like pre-credit score - I do not think you want to go back to that

Not only is it never too late to massively turn your life around, everyone wants you to It’s easy to get caught up in shame and feel like you can’t admit your problems to the people in your life, but they generally know something is off even if they don’t know the details And (generally, not without exception) they’re waiting for you to turn things around & will welcome you back warmly when it happens

"but im a white guy working on ai" you can only fucking lol at something so incomprehensibly ignorant and out of touch let me get this straight– you were born and raised in quebec, and had the good fortune to study at mcgill - literally one of the world's best universities - for less than $5000 a year. then you did graduate studies at waterloo - canada's top school for computer science, and earned a masters in maths and a phd there. you then went on to move to America, work for Google, and later started your own ai company. and the narrative you want to weave around your upbringing and training is that you ESCAPED canadian socialism? so the socialism was good enough for you to grow up safe, have healthcare, receive a literal world-class education that helped you into one of the top technology firms in the world, but is also so bad that america has a moral imperative to ensure you, a technologist working there, should be granted permanent residency. and if your lack of gratitude for your upbringing wasnt enough, you were promoting a presidential candidate who was vehemently opposed to immigration – while you, an immigrant, were staying in their country with a temporary visa. i guess you can be smart enough to work on ai and quantum computing but still be dumb enough to not only think these things, but actually post them on twitter expecting sympathy
Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
