Shaun White’s 3 Biggest Lessons:
- Enjoy the little things because they are fleeting

- Don’t be swayed. Your family will always have your back. They like you for who you are not because you win a championship
Pathos to Bathos: The difference between pathos (true tragedy) and bathos is when you go one step too far (deeply sad, but comic). Once it reaches bathos there is something comically absurd to it - Chuck Palahniuk

Technology is Eating the Military: Technological advantages outweigh all strategies and tactics. When there’s a technological discontinuity, it fundamentally flips the whole situation. In the modern era, we are very much in a technology race war. - Elon Musk
Health
Doctor Fear: Doctors for the first time in their lives felt that they could get the disease themselves if they saw and treated [COVID] patients. The focus became on how to protect doctors (e.g., PPE, air filtration, etc.) instead of how to treat patients - Dr. Peter A. McCullough
Vaxi Maxis: We’ve had a giant loss of life. It seems to me early on there was an intentional, very comprehensive suppression of treatment in order to promote fear, suffering, isolation, hospitalization, and death. It seemed to be completely organized and intentional in order to create acceptance for and promote mass vaccination. - Dr. Peter A. McCullough
Mass Formation Psychosis: Group think that has developed so strong, it leads to something horrific (such as mass suicides in religion, walking into gas chambers in Germany, etc.). - Dr. Peter A. McCullough
Key components of mass formation psychosis:
- (1) period of isolation (lockdowns);
- (2) withdrawal of things taken away people used to enjoy;
- (3) incessant free-lowing anxiety (constant news of deaths, tally, spread);
- (4) must be a single solution offered by an entity in authority (vaccination)
Vaccine Passports Make NO Sense: 39% of COVID transmission occurred from one fully vaccinated individual to another. The vaccines are to protect yourself – no research can state it protects others from getting COIVD-19 - Dr. Peter A. McCullough
Your Sense Are All The Same: Location of sensory input (e.g., eyes, feet, fingertips, etc.) doesn’t matter, it all becomes electrical signals flowing in - Andrew Huberman PhD
Circadian System: An internal sense of the earth’s rotation by processing light. Tt affects everything from sleep and hormones to appetite and mood - Andrew Huberman PhD
Basal Ganglia: Brain region of go/no go - from sitting still to activating behavior depending on what is appropriate based on context. The basal ganglia sits in the forebrain and grows as the cortex grows - plans are made in the cortex and executed in basal ganglia (but the circuits work closely throughout processing) - Andrew Huberman PhD
Breathing Approaches to Mitigate Stress: (1) Try 5 minutes of physiologic sigh (double inhale through the nose followed by long exhale through mouth); (2) Try 5 minutes of cyclic hyperventilation (deep inhale through nose immediately following by deep exhale through mouth x 25-30 then fully exhaling until lungs are empty and repeating) - Dr. Andrew Huberman
Wealth
VC Investing is Pigeons and Sh$ts: The venture is a people business, people exchanging favors and shits. Pigeons are companies that will eat anything you throw at them. - Peter Herbert
“I’d rather be too early than too late, by the time it’s too late there’s seldom a point in pursuing a market” – John Doerr
Bitcoin is DIGITAL ENERGY: “I think the entire 21st-century economy needs digital energy, which means $500T worth of digital energy moving at the speed of light, friction-free from 8 billion devices across 100 million companies, no power loss, super-conducting network” – Michael Saylor
Bond, Bitcoin Bond: El Salvador will receive 100% of the funding because they do not need to go through the IMF or a bank, or any other intermediaries like a normal bond issuance. – Adam Back
