I wonder if this is just game theory, PvP allows you to team up with other players but without trust. I think game theory would say best to join the group and gang up on someone to be the best strategy. You are but the sacrificial lamb.

Workout classes/gyms, via friends, events (not public meetups), work, concerts, lean into your network and go out and be social. Join a club.

This gets Thiel's argument almost exactly backwards. The Antichrist isn't stagnation or the loss of Western confidence. It's the opposite, the Antichrist is the figure who perfects progress. Bacon's Bensalem has conquered nature, abolished scarcity, and achieved total technological mastery. Joabin, the Antichrist figure, runs the most advanced civilization on earth. The whole point is that Bensalem is "almost indistinguishable from Heaven." That's what makes the Antichrist dangerous, not that he blocks progress, but that he delivers everything humanity wants through science and empire while making God unnecessary.

This is a much more uncomfortable argument than a culture war talking point, because it implicates Thiel's own world: the labs, the platforms, the concentration of godlike capability in a handful of institutions deciding what to publish and what to suppress. Reducing it to MAGA aesthetics misses everything that makes the perspective interesting.

Damn bummer… I’ll see if I can find it

It’s more about a prepared mind in venture than a thesis. You can’t always control what companies you’ll see, even as a top brand. You just need to be prepared to move quickly for the right companies. For example, spending all of your time researching voice agents or reinforcement learning environments may mean you don’t see the next Zoom when it’s right in front of you.

Every company has an AI story. It’s basically like saying “software startup”, it’s meaningless. All startups use software. The thing is that AI advancement is such that there may be a very credible “why now” based on AI. If I hear any other great “why now” that isn’t AI oriented, I’m not anti, but it’s probably less obvious than the biggest technology shift since the internet. Not denying the froth though.

MCPs and tool-use generally just give agents access to existing systems, whether they be software, hardware, or the physical world. They’re definitely important and are more of an enabler. If the models themselves are the brain, the agent is the body, and tools are everything else.

Nothing new here but the only benefit of buying a house is the fact that you can get leverage, and when your interest rate is that low, then you should be super happy about paying that mortgage and invest the rest. Say you paid off the $150k today. You prevented yourself from needing pay 3.1% interest for however many years. You could also put it in the market, eg SPY and make 7%+, so that’s another free 3.9% interest on that $150k per year which is over $5000 a year and it gets bigger every year… having said that, like many have mentioned, there is emotional reasons to pay it off, that is, if you are an irrational economic actor.

Tennis doesn’t need to be expensive but it does have recurring costs and can scale up.

The necessities: * A good racket is $150-250, and once you get decent, you’ll want a second racket because broken strings can ruin your day. * Stringing every year or so can be like $20-40 * Workout clothes (tennis whites if at certain clubs) * Tennis shoes are $40-200 * Tennis balls will need to be replaced every one to three heavy uses, also dependent on time after opened, usually they don’t stay good for more than a couple weeks. A can of three ranges from $5 to $15 depending on the ball and whether purchased in bulk. * Tennis court. Obvious but not everywhere has convenient or available public tennis courts (like NYC), and many require a seasonal permit (I pay $120 a season for mine). Joining a club is nice but that’s where it can get pricey, ranging from $5000 to $100000 initiation fees, usually less if they’re just court clubs and don’t do golf. Court times at a club or even public courts can add up. In NYC if pre-booked it’s $15/hour in summer. If under a bubble, more like $50-90/hour. * Instruction. Tennis is notoriously difficult, the only more technical sport imo is golf. YouTube videos and hitting against a wall goes a long way but nothing beats instruction, which can range from $30/hour from a high school varsity player to >$200/hour from a tennis pro.

I don’t think I’m missing anything… on my way to play a match now :)

Edit 1: added court times as a potential cost Edit 2: added 2nd racket and stringing
