TikTok did not make people dumb.

TikTok just showed us who the really dumb people are.

…and then TikTok’s CCP influenced algorithm made sure to amplify those people and their content in the West and incentivised a whole generation to follow along that path for likes and views.

And he seems to don’t care ? 🤷

It reminds me the quote from Brené Brown:
“If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback.”

The day you make money with your product you start to understand, you can’t do it all perfectly, you can’t fix all bugs, can’t follow all stupid rules of every country.

It will come in between all others priority

i've always wondered why I leave some exchanges drained and others energized. why I can instantly sense whether someone is a soul friend or not

the best way i've been able to comprehend this is that conversations are the medium by which energy is exchanged. they are composed of:

1. questions asked for the own persons benefit
2. questions asked for your benefit
3. questions asked for the benefit of both parties
4. questions asked with no motive, just emergent playfulness and inquiry towards the 'the thing' tgt

when conversations overly skew towards 1, things feel transactional, draining, and there is an asymmetry in the dynamic. when there is more balance between 1-3, you move towards net neutral or positive energy created and into a dynamic of being peers. when it skews towards 3-4, you find soul friendship and lots of net new energy generated

living in this world means all exchanges are beautiful and have their place, but if you're feeling drained and don't know why - being honest with yourself about the type of exchanges and people you're surrounding yourself with is worth interrogating.

it's why just having a couple soul friends (and hopefully also your partner/spouse) makes up for an infinite number of friends that loom around 1 and 2

DID NOT: find the idea by studying trends or the latest business model.

DID: find the idea by solving his own problem.

That made it easier to build something useful, and made it far easier to market, create content, etc.

This is the secret that the online gurus LIE about, and I'm tired of that bullshit.

Solve personal problems. It makes everything easier.

Open an Google doc and write down 20 problems you had since waking up. You might surprised what you find.

90% of founders don’t have a product problem—they have a distribution problem.

Your startup isn’t working, so you pivot features, when the real issue is your growth strategy.

Too many founders give up on amazing products, thinking they’ve failed.

The reality, they just haven’t unlocked the right growth channel.

The startup graveyard is full of great products that were this close to taking off but never figured out how to grow.

Feeling nervous doesn't mean you're unprepared. It means you care about something beyond your control.

Anxiety is a caricature artist. It magnifies flaws and minimizes strengths.

Gaining confidence is not about denying what could go wrong. It’s about recognizing what might go right.
