Just INSANE. Beautifully INSANE.

Riff-riffing with mumbly vocals over tempo and melody evolving with iteration + creative correction + amplification in real time

Paul McCartney writes “Get Back” while Ringo + George watch
2/ further INSANITY.

the making of “Let it Be”… (part 1)

The humming of the words before they were written and encoded in our ears and history forever…

Trial, error, iteration, reiteration,
mutation, variation amplification…
3/ (part 2) the making of “Let it Be”

With John Lennon learning the chords

And Yoko and Linda McCartney half listening…
4/ Here are the Beatles coming up with the lyrics for their pro-immigrant anti-white supremacist protest song “Get Back”

Figuring out on the fly “Jo Jo”’s…last name

And then Lennon x McCartney riffing “Two of Us”…

1/ This is a good + fair question.
I hope i give a good + fair answer…

Why is BRK (buffett) a different ‘religion’ than TSLA (musk)?

A thread🧵…
2/ The fun thing about making lots of money in VC + crypto + any asset or security that makes money by selling it for more than you paid for it is this:

you don’t NEED it to profitable business—
you only NEED others to buy it for more

A 🔑 difference between TSLA + BRK…
3/ And if you don’t need the business underlying your investment to be profitable 💵(because you just need others to believe that others will believe that others will believe 📈)…

You might not NEED to know 💁‍♂️what actually makes a business profitable….

1/ Interesting POV from Chinese billionaire friend
who made his money outside of China
and felt safe from reach of Xi (as he invested in China,
but sold his companies to non-Chinese so he never ‘took money out’ of China).

He got the #’s wrong but the point was clear…
2/ He asked me the first “democracy”.
I answered: Greece.

He said what was population of your great democracy
i said ~150,000

He asked how many were slaves? I did not know.

He said: ~100,000 slaves rules by ~8,000

Now what about your beloved Rome?
3/ What was the population of Rome?

I guessed roughly correct 1M

He asked: and how many slaves?

I guessed 10k. He said it was closer to 500k around 50% of the population.

He asked––rhetorically––what the current population of “democracies” in the world today?

1/ Releasing a redacted Lux quarterly letter to LPs.

Some strong views of
-a catalog of an excess of excesses
-what catalysts cause the current market frenzy to end
(preview: LP indigestion)
-what we are advising our Lux family companies
-much more…
2/-The importance of HEIGHTENED HUMILITY in times like these (where source of ‘success’ can be easily mistaken)
-Telepresence helps us connect with far-flung founders but true presence (in person) helps our team connect like never before
-Where a CONSENSUS of CONCERNS is CENTERED
3/ Time travel with us a year hence—
reflecting back on the year that was.
