The thoughts below are unedited. Some might seem controversial to you. In these notes, I’ve tried to seek the truth, even when it made me uncomfortable. In hindsight, I credit much of my success to this mindset of open, unbiased inquiry. While my opinions are strong, they are weakly held. I’m open to adopting other views if they reveal themselves to be truthful.

• Entrepreneur’s mind, athlete’s body, artist’s soul.
• The leader is simply defined as the bravest man.
• You are what you scroll.
• If you want to matter, you need to do.
• If you don’t communicate, you don’t exist.
• Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.
• High testosterone + high IQ = getting what you want in life. Smart is not enough. You have to be aggressive.
• Money is like health. You worry about it when you don’t have it. Make sure you always do.
• Having stuff isn’t fun, getting stuff is fun.
• You have higher duties than your own happiness.
• You're not depressed, you just don't have a quest.
• Successful people rarely criticize. The boos usually come from the cheap seats.
• Life isn’t happening to you, it’s responding to you.
• You won’t know how to do it until you do it. So don’t think too much. Just do it.
• People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies.
• Independent thinking is dangerous to those who seek to control you. The world rewards obedience, but true success requires rebellion.
• Carefree & playful, not carefree & dominant.
• Public markets require balls (to buy when it’s unpopular). Private markets require access (to get best deals).
