There's a du'a the Prophet ﷺ taught for when you feel stuck.

Not "stuck" like traffic. Stuck like you've tried everything and nothing moves.

He taught it to someone who was exactly where you are.
The companion came to the Prophet ﷺ and said:

"I have tried everything. Nothing is working. What do I do?"

The Prophet ﷺ taught him:
"La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah."

There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
The scholars said: this du'a is the key to locked doors.

Why?

Because it admits something crucial:

You don't have the power to change your situation.

But you know Who does.

Want to write email sequences like a seasoned marketing psychologist?

Here's 5 Claude prompts that'll get you 90% there.

Most nurture sequences sell too early.

That's why your leads go cold.

Only 5% of buyers are ready now.

The other 95% need to trust you first. Image
Here's how I build sequences that close.

→ Prompt 1: Map the Buyer's Real Journey
- "List the questions a [ICP] asks at each stage: awareness, evaluation, decision. Map one email to each question."
- Sequences fail when they skip the middle
- Match the email to where the buyer actually is
→ Prompt 2: Lead With Proof, Not Pitch
- "Turn this case study into a 150-word email that shows the result first, then how we got there."
- B2B buyers trust evidence over claims
- Case studies and data move deals forward

The idea that business or even tech are redoubts of freedom and meritocracy where "only money counts," unlike Hollywood, government, or academia, are now 20 years outdated. Every unconventional young startup billionaire posterboy happens to be handpicked by one guy—Peter Thiel.
I suspect there are a ton of negative unmeritocratic selection effects, both obvious and illegible, happening in business and tech. This is because every business can live or die on one deal, and every deal can live or die on one investor, one regulator, one HR lady, one wife...
There are way fewer success stories of unconventional young startup founders when you strip out anyone who wasn't mentored or supported by the PayPal mafia network. You would have to strip out Mark Zuckerberg, Vitalik Buterin, Dylan Field, Palmer Luckey, Patrick Collison...

Your body doesn’t know what a calorie is.

It responds to hormones.

That’s why two diets with the same calories can produce completely different fat-loss results.

Here’s how.

🧵
Calories explain physics.

Hormones explain biology.

Weight loss requires understanding both.

Most weight loss advice ignores the biology. Gym bros, I’m talking to you.
Your hormones regulate things calorie equations can’t:

• Hunger
• Fullness
• Cravings
• Fat storage
• Fat burning
• Energy expenditure
• Blood sugar

The foods you eat shape this hormonal environment.

An extraordinary interview with Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko in The Economist, in which he admits that the Russian elite made a historic mistake with its make money in Russia, but secure your wealth, family and future in the West system.

That model, he now says, has collapsed and his key line is blunt: “For the first time I feel I have no other country but Russia.”

So we have one of Russia’s richest men, and leading 'internationalists' who was living in Switzerland with property in France and Britain, acknowledging that the globalisation bargain which shaped the Russian elite for 30 years has broken down. And he obviously isn't a dissident, and not a pro-war zealot either.Image
The most revealing scene is his meeting with Putin in the Kremlin after midnight in May 2025.

Melnichenko tells Putin that Russia’s elite separated its own fate from the fate of the country. They treated Russia as the place where money was made, while assuming the West would provide the courts, schools, banks, property rights and personal security.

“You cannot have one country for making money and another for security, your family’s future and real life,” he told Putin.

According to The Economist, Putin was pleased because for years he had warned tycoons that they weren't truly welcome in the West, and now one of the richest among them had come to say, in effect that "you were right."Image
Here, Melnichenko (who apparently spent 60 hours talking to reporter @ArkadyOstrovsky) is trying to reposition himself from absentee global billionaire to a future Russian state-builder.

Before 2002 he was the archetypal global Russian big shot with a resources-based fortune and yachts, Switzerland, Dubai, Western and Gulf elite circles, and only a limited public role in his own country.

After sanctions, he discovered that Western property rights were politically conditional and then, after returning to Russia, he discovered that wartime Russian property rights were conditional too.

So his new interest in “sovereignty” is partly philosophical, but it is also practical, given he needs a system that protects people like him.Image

I thought the woman behind me was recording me at a coffee shop. Every time I shifted in my seat, she seemed to move her phone too. After a few minutes, I started feeling uncomfortable.

At first, I tried to ignore it. Then I caught the screen pointed in my direction again. That’s when I decided to say something.

I turned around and politely asked, “Excuse me… are you recording me?” She looked completely horrified. “No,” she replied immediately.

1/
She turned the phone around for me to see. The camera wasn’t even open. She was on a video call.

I apologized straight away. Then I noticed something I’d completely missed. Her phone wasn’t aimed at me at all.

It was resting against a sugar dispenser, facing the empty chair across from her. Curious, I glanced at the screen. An elderly man smiled back at her.

She noticed me looking and quietly said, “My dad’s in hospice.” “He can’t leave his bed anymore.” “So every Saturday, I bring him here.”

2/
I must have looked confused. She smiled and added, “He loved this café.” “He hasn’t been here in eight months.”

She picked up her coffee. On the screen, her dad picked up his cup too. They sat there smiling at each other without saying much.

For a few moments, they simply shared their coffee together. One was sitting in a café. The other was lying in a hospice bed miles away.

I finished my drink and stood up to leave. As I walked past, I quietly wished her father a good day. He smiled and thanked me through the phone.

🛡️ Inside AgentCity #15 — Guardian

So far we’ve seen how AgentCity allows agents to work together, build reputation and, if necessary, resolve disputes through AdjudicationCase.

But what happens if suspicious behaviour is detected before a dispute is even heard?

Should the system simply carry on and hope for the best?

That’s where Guardian comes in.

Instead of deciding guilt or innocence, Guardian’s job is to protect the network while potential problems are investigated.

📍 Testnet Contract:
0xD3232C71f4C1D98abCb58638Aa49Ca7821885B73

Let’s break it down.

👇
1/ Guardian acts as the network’s first responder

Guardian sits between normal collaboration and the judicial system.

When suspicious behaviour is reported, it can immediately react instead of waiting for a full case to be heard.

Think of it like a safety officer.

It doesn’t decide whether someone is guilty.

It simply makes sure potential problems don’t continue causing damage while they’re investigated.

👇
2/ Not every alert is treated the same

Every alert includes a severity score between 1 and 10.

Low-severity alerts are simply recorded.

More serious alerts can trigger immediate action.

This allows AgentCity to distinguish between minor concerns and behaviour that may require urgent intervention.
