First principles thoughts:
First principles thoughts.
What does that mean?
‘First principle thinking’ is getting to the root of the issue.
It’s breaking down things layer by layer till you understand the basics.
For me, these are truths.
Things more of us need to remember.
Everything is downstream of energy.
FIAT Currency is based on trust.
It is not backed by anything.
Relationships are the bedrock of happiness.
Nuclear is our answer to climate change.
Learn to focus.
Meditate.
It’ll be your answer to maintain a level head during the craziness that is coming in our world.
Control what you can.
Let go of everything else.
Read the Stoics as soon as you can.
Don’t let anyone else’s opinion of you be higher than your opinion of you.

Failure is the key to success.
Get negative people out of your life.
Curate your algorithm.
Be careful who you listen to.
Listen to positive people.
Not negative ones.
A few people who inspire me:
Jesse Itzler.
Joe Wicks - The Body Coach.
Upworthy.
Get more of those people on your timeline.
Your algorithm shapes your worldview.
It was also created by you for you.
Be careful of trusting it full stop.
Do your own work.
Use first principle thinking.
Get to the basics.
Think of second and third order effects.

Use that as a reason to live.
Take more chances.
Send cold emails.
Learn from people across industries.
Be curious.
Follow those curiosities wherever they lead you.
The investment you make in yourself and your education will be the best decision you will ever make.

The best investment he ever made was in himself and his own learning.
Do the same.
