1/ SCI-FI <> SCI-FACT🤯

Like Star-Wars—your first personal holographic display has arrived.

Meet “Looking Glass Portrait”.
Designed for people, real––and imagined.

Radically priced @ $199
today + tomorrow only.
Pre-order look.glass/portrait
2/ When @chrisfralic thought to introduce me to @LKGGlass––i remember we spoke about the directional arrow of progress

We had to take risk to believe resolution would keep evolving (just as YouTube went from 240 > 360 > 720 > 1080p > 4k)...

The PROGRESS + PROGRESSION amazes.
3/ Look at the progress from this video of ~3 years ago...
4/ And the progress from this (Star Wars x-wing fighter) also from 3 years ago...

1/ Why not cancel it all? Free everything!

Cancel construction workers + supers + electricians + painters + HVAC workers + gardeners + decorators

We can cancel taxes too (they come from people with jobs making + spending $)––then cancel politicians salaries paid for by taxes
2/ Cancel monthly bills for cable + phones + internet + gym memberships + magazines + newspapers + substack subscriptions!

And cancel restaurants too––
food + fun should be free for all!
3/ Cancel car payments + cancel airline tickets––travel should be free for everyone.

Cancel music subscription services + podcasts.
Cancel Spotify + Apple.
Cancel royalties to artists.
No 1 artist should be more popular than the 99%!
Cancel ticket sales to concerts + sports.

1/ SOME NEWS

The charter school that I co-founded + Chair in my native Coney Island, Brooklyn––has sued the CDC + Trump administration.

Our scholars + families demand reliable information and government competence.

The @NewYorker just covered it.
newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
2/ Part 1...
3/ Part 2...

From @ciprep CEO Leslie-Bernard Joseph:

"It's like trying to swim against the current of the Pacific Ocean. We knew we were drowning, and we were just going to try to keep swimming as long as we could"

My 2020 rap faves

RTJ4
Jay Electronica—written testimony + act 2
Aesop Rock—spirit world field guide
unlocked—denzel curry x kenny beats
Marlowe 2
Eminem—Music to be..
Alfredo—alchemist
Revenge of the Dreamers
Clams Casino—esp ‘unchain me’; Lost Boys🎥
Pray for Paris
Marlowe 2
2/ A fave track of all of this––is this “DIET_”

GENIUS lyrics—and a hook with an amazing ascendant 3 bar rhyme that is an exorcism of DMX to a rising Slick Rick bassline

when you hear it you will hear it
(if you don’t it’s @ 0:47)
open.spotify.com/track/1AzqpMy3…
3/ the Clams Casino instrumental is solid but this track is more personal, he samples Cry Little Sister from “Lost Boys”—i was 9 and in middle of cross-country custody battle and LOVED this movie and well––wanted to be a vampire in Kiefer Sutherland’s gang

1/ AMAZED by @LTwolfe

Cover of @Forbes: Impactive Capital
Christian Asmar + Lauren Taylor Wolfe

"From Buffett With Love"
forbes.com/sites/hanktuck…
2/ "The Oracle of Omaha famously detached his investment strategy from his civic pursuits. Lauren Taylor Wolfe and Christian Alejandro Asmar's Impactive Capital borrows from his buy-and-hold value book—but overlays a large amount of sustainability and activism."
—By @hanstucker13
3/ A few excerpts:
-how many investments they hold
-on being forced to sell when returns are no longer there after a doubling
-on growing Calstrs $250M 6yr commitment 28% in 20 months to $320M
-now at $630M+ AUM and growing...

1/ One of the MOST important concepts anyone can understand—

ENTROPY.

The concept applies not just to physics + life, but startups, relationships, geopolitics.

My eldest child, 10yo daugther, asked excellent Q last night that may seem foolish...
2/ Why do we go from WET to DRY
(say getting out of shower/bath)
but never from DRY to WET?

We talked about:
-solid ice > blob of liquid > dissipated vapor
-how eggs break but don’t go back
-how glasses break but don’t reform

How systems trend to disorder without more energy
3/
I am re-reading the incredible

“ORDER out of CHAOS”—Ilya Prigogine

who articulated beautifully how we get
structured macro state (~whirlpool)
EMERGING from non-equilibrium state (~water down a drain)

Here’s a copy (and a few of my highlights)...

1/ Here is a public version of Lux's Q3 Letter to LPs

"Do Good Things"...
medium.com/lux-capital/do…
2/ In preview, we hold the minority view that this moment in time is not––

in the context of all that has ever happened and all yet to happen

––uniquely special, even with all the evident chaos... Image
3/ Instead there are directional arrows of positive progress, technological inevitabilities, more + new options created by agency + ambition of scientific + technical founders we FUND

From any moment in the present, they are always setting up a perpetually more promising FUTURE
