“our new model is so powerful that we can’t even release it to the public. it found thousands of zero days. the treasury secretary & the fed chair are meeting because they’re scared about the risks it poses to financial markets” yeah anthropic could IPO for $10T at this point

By 30 I had a net worth of $10,000,000. I set that exact goal in my teens. $ + age. Not chance. By 40, -$5 mil, no cash, start over. Was that a goal? Well, yes. It was. I wanted better life credentials. Never saw past 30 as a kid. Divorced parents. After 30 built a new goal list maxing at 60 y/o. No written interim $ goals. Mistake. Unexpectd. Today goals to my 80's. "Goals" and "goal-setting" are still wildly misunderstood. @JamesClear Atomic Habits (great book) helps design the technical process to improvement and growth. “We don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems.” TOTAL DISAGREEMENT @lukeburgis states "goal-setting doesn't work". TOTAL DISAGREEMENT (I'm a gushing Burgis supporter.) Each of these men have reached goals they desired without having created a habit to get there. Actually, all of us have. Desire and the unable-to-be-explained results of it often (maybe always) ignore habits. However, they always include mindset. My long term goal that caused me financial wipeout was a new desire to be an extremely important global businessman and to have proven myself. "Oh yeah? Do it again from scratch." Ask and ye shall receive aka filter for desire. Not there yet, but maybe 70% there. AMA

Charlie Munger: "If you soldier through, you can get through almost anything. It's your only option. You can't bring back the dead. You can't cure the dying child. You can't do all kinds of things. You have to soldier through it. If you have to walk through the streets, crying for a few hours a day as part of the soldiering through — go ahead and cry away. But you can't quit. You can cry, but you can't quit."
