This child psychiatrist manipulated an entire country in the 1970s.
After WWII, Nescafe entered Japan hoping to create a huge coffee market.
They failed.

Ugh. Node.js is sooooooo clunky compared to Rails.
Why did people move away from Rails at all? I mean I can do with rails in 15 minutes what has taken me already a couple of hours with Node...
(sigh).😓
Salespeople are paid so well because they’re willing to deal with rejection.
They’re able to get socially punched in the face a hundred times a day and still come back for more with a smile.
We're really just living on mountains
Haven't read this paper yet but the models themselves are free or low-cost and available to anyone with a phone. Getting value out of AI comes from using it and experimenting with it, no tech knowledge required.
Right now, however it is mostly wealthier & male workers using it.
People keep talking about distribution/marketing and how you need to figure it out before obsessing about your product.
But it's really not that complicated.
B2B: send cold emails.
B2C: run Meta ads.
If people buy, you're in business. If not, time to move on.
"Your mistake is that you’re writing to be read."
An idea I’m obsessed about:
Action occurs when pain exceeds fear.
It’s such a powerful concept.
If fear>pain, you don’t do anything (except worry endlessly).
But if pain>fear, you start solving the problem.
Most people wait for the pain to become so great you can no longer tolerate it. Or they increase the pain with self-destructive behaviour until they have no choice but to act.
But a much faster, easier way to win is to reduce the fear instead.
How?
Understand it. Because 99% of fear is not real. It’s a construct of your past experiences and biases.
Reduce it. If you’re scared to take the big step, take the smallest version. Action relieves anxiety.
Hope this helps,

83 years ago today funk’s greatest ringmaster was beamed down to earth; uniting people through sci-fi mythology, dancing, sexual puns and drugs.
Genius, innovator, style icon; survivor.
Happy birthday, George Clinton. A genuine one-off.
I could have stopped in 2021 or 2022 after many failures, but I kept building.
And even after several successful products, I still keep building new products.
Never stop building.
