Someone turned Naval Ravikant's mental models into AI prompts and the results are insane.
It's the closest thing to having the AngelList founder rebuild your career from scratch.
Here are the 10 prompts that completely changed my life:
1. Specific Knowledge Audit
Most people chase "skills everyone wants" and wonder why they're replaceable.
I use this to find what only I can do:
Prompt:
```
You are Naval Ravikant analyzing my career for specific knowledge.
About me: [YOUR BACKGROUND - work history, hobbies, weird interests, things you're known for]
Answer: 1. What specific knowledge do I have that can't be trained? (look for intersections no one else has) 2. What do I know from experience that can't be learned in school? 3. What would I do for free that people will eventually pay me for? 4. Where am I authentic that others are faking it?
Be ruthless. If I don't have specific knowledge yet, tell me where to build it.
```
2. Leverage Identification
Naval says wealth requires leverage: code, media, labor, or capital.
Here's how I figure out which leverage I actually have access to:
Prompt:
``` Naval defines leverage as: code (software), media (content with no marginal cost), labor (people working for you), capital (money)
Analyze my current position:
[DESCRIBE YOUR SKILLS, RESOURCES, NETWORK, ASSETS]
For each type of leverage, tell me:
- Do I have it? (yes/no + evidence)
- How could I acquire it in 6 months?
- Which type matches my specific knowledge best?
Rank the 4 types by "easiest for me to scale right now." Show your reasoning.

Hoy cumple años uno de los protagonistas de esta foto: el Comodoro Carlos "Palo" Rinke, y no hay mejor forma que honrarlo en su día que contando la historia de el vuelo de su vida, y el origen del nombre que le dio su jefe, Carballo. Felíz cumpleaños "Numeral de Hierro".
Según cuenta Rinke ese día 25 de mayo se despertaban con la peor noticia:el derribo y fallecimiento del Capitán Palaver, quien era el Jefe de Operaciones del Escuadrón. Considerado un líder, persona integra, lo describe como "el As de Espadas" de todo el colectivo de pilotos
El Capitán Carballo había quedado a cargo de las operaciones del escuadrón , y estaba armando el plan de vuelo ,por tanto la Escuadrilla Cruz no tenía ninguna posiblidad de salir como segunda o tercera opción , estaban primeros en la lista para las salidas del día.
CNN's Pamela Brown announces she's been working on a "special project" warn against "Christian nationalism" and portrays them as a radicalized threat to the country.
She then launches into a report where she fears the assassination of Charlie Kirk uniting Christians and scoffs at the idea that Christians were being targeted with hate and violence:
PAMELA BROWN: Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent Christian nationalist, was assassinated. It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message. (...) And it was a call to action.
MATTHEW TAYLOR (Georgetown University Center of Faith and Justice): Memorial service was one of the most potent examples of this shift in our culture that we're experiencing right now, where a large segment of American Christians are being activated by these ideas, radicalized by these ideas that say that they are the persecuted ones and that they need to stand up for Christians rights.
The tease for Brown' "special project" to demonize American Christians continued with her expressing fear that "Kirk's death happened at a moment of unprecedented alignment between Christian nationalists and the Trump administration."
Taylor decried that Trump administration said that they intended to "protect Christians" from violence and people wishing to kill them.
Attempting to draw terrifying parallels, Brown warns that Trump thinks God saved him during the assassination attempt against him: "Trump has never explicitly said he believes the country should be a Christian nation, but he is aligned with Christian nationalists and wants their support and after an assassination attempt during his campaign, Trump said he believes god saved his life so he can lead the country."
Pamela Brown released another tease of her Christian bashing documentary for CNN. This time, she clutches her pearls over Christian woman choosing to be stay at home moms and families comporting to traditional gender roles:
"Well, pastor [Doug] Wilson leads a growing network of conservative Christian churches and preaches a strict biblical interpretation of various issues. His followers are taught to follow specific gender roles, where wives submit to their husbands and make being a mother and homemaker their primary role, while the husband acts as the head of the household and makes the executive decisions for the family.
For my upcoming documentary, I embedded with a tight knit conservative church community in southeast Texas that belongs to Wilson's network of churches. The women there told me they're flourishing in their role as submissive wives.
(...)
Sierra McIlwain left her combat role in the Army to undertake a life of submission to her husband, Andrew, a little over a year ago.
🧵 When I heard Entdecktes Judenthum (aka Judaism Unmasked) had never been translated into English in its 2000-page entirety, I felt compelled to do it myself. I was able to procure one of the 3000 copies ever produced of the second edition printed in 1711.
🧵 This won’t be an easy endeavor, not only due to the breadth of the work but also due to it being in Early New High German and fraktur.
And in general, translating anything requires a certain feeling of words you’re trying to express. Even the title itself directly translates to “Discovered Judaism”, but what Eisenmenger is trying to convey is that he is uncovering it, revealing it, bringing it into the light of day, unmasking it, or better - exposing it. To separate this work from others that may follow, I’ll be calling it “Entdecktes Judenthum - Judaism Exposed”.
🧵 Tentatively, I’ll be using Transkribus to extract the text as it’s specialized in historical documents and trained on old German fraktur, or any other OCR that gets me good results, then @Gab__AI to translate into modern English as its features can allow me to run the text through multiple open source models, though I’m open to other ideas and methods as well. If you’re a German-English speaker, your insight would be much appreciated.
Perplexity is terrifyingly good at competitive intelligence.
If you use these 10 prompts, you’ll see why:
(Bookmark this thread for later)
1/ Map your entire competitive landscape in 60 seconds.
Prompt:
"Act as a competitive intelligence analyst. Give me a full breakdown of [Company X]'s market position right now — pricing strategy, target customers, key differentiators, and recent strategic moves. Cite sources."
Most people Google this for hours.
Perplexity does it in one shot with live data.
2/ Find exactly where your competitor is losing customers.
Prompt:
"Search recent reviews, Reddit threads, and forums from the last 6 months where users complain about [Competitor]. Summarize the top 5 recurring pain points and frustrations."
This is like reading your competitor's support tickets.
Jermaine Ruan installed fiber optic at Epstein’s Zorro ranch and also built a self contained communication network on Epstein’s island. He has never been summoned to testify.
He shows up on page 25 of the Little Saint James handbook as “technology.”
Ruan was listed as the IT Manager of the Southern Trust Company, Epstein’s DNA mining operation which received tens of millions in funding from the Rothschilds.
Ruan appears to be a trusted partner of Epstein’s, involved in helping to build massive underground complexes and complex tech.
Ruan inherited $1m from Epstein’s estate on his “death.”
This is someone Congress could call for answers right now. So why haven’t they?
Most wounded are missing feet or legs from mines and FPV drones. Surgeons have 5-10 minutes to make decisions that will save lives and change them forever — United24. 1/
Surgeon "Luher": "Main injuries come from FPVs and mines. Mud, grass, or dirty shrapnel in wounds leads to infection. When I talked to US surgeons about how we deal with tourniquets, they couldn't believe it. They have a lot to learn from us." 2/
British instructor who trains Ukrainian soldiers: "There is no longer a golden hour."
Drones make evacuation as difficult as attack. When soldiers are wounded, some take days before ground drone can take them to safer zone. Tourniquets stay on for hours, causing necrosis. 3/
Germany signed a deal with Kyiv to send Ukrainian troops to Bundeswehr schools — to teach drone warfare and battlefield tech integration, Times.
German officer: “No one in NATO currently has more war experience than Ukraine.” 1/
After years of war, Ukraine has unmatched experience in drone use, counter-drone defense, and rapid command-tech integration. 2/
The need became obvious at Hedgehog 2025.
In Estonia, 10 Ukrainians mock-disabled 2 NATO battalions in hours, destroying 17 armored vehicles in half a day. 16,000 troops from 12 states took part. 3/
The Judicial Conference has released a new policy that could materially alter the character of the federal courts, allowing judges to comment on what they deem “illegitimate forms of criticism and attacks.” It is not just injudicious, it is dangerous... jonathanturley.org/2026/02/18/rul…
...The added freedom afforded to judges to engage in commentary will do little to change the debate. It may, however, greatly erode the trust in what was once considered “our least dangerous branch.”
...Given increasingly injudicious comments, one would think that Chief Justice John Roberts and the Judicial Conference would seek to tighten, not loosen, the limits on judicial commentary. I am not suggesting that these past statements would be viewed as acceptable under the new rules. However, I fail to understand, in light of such controversial statements, the Conference elected to relax the rules at this time.
Kasparov: If a 200,000-strong army reaches Latvia’s border, will anyone shoot? NATO membership is paper if no one acts.
Article 5 works when leaders are ready to enforce it. Putin’s plans failed not because of NATO — but because Ukraine stood as an unbreakable wall.
1/
Kasparov: The army will keep killing, looting, seizing land. The Baltics are defenseless.
It may start not with invasion, but with 500 special forces crossing the border, taking a square kilometer — testing Article 5. We know the answer: no one responds.
Would you be surprised if i told you i have zero interest in cars?
I know, right? 🤯
As you said, i am interested in abstract spaces. I was completely ignorant of science before being introduced to QM, GE, General Systems Theory, Cybernetics, and Evolution, all at once. You and i have very different starting points. But you are trying to get into my space here, not the other way around.
"Selection doesn't create. What creates the complexity that can then be sorted? "
The complexity is the product of selection, not the source. Selection pressures sort the way weights sort in LLMs. Natural systems conform to their environments, not through planning, contemplation, and brute-force.
They conform to their environment as water conforms to the riverbed.
…aby si náhodou někdo nemyslel, že to je sofistikovanější než to doopravdy je.
Monte Carlo simulace jsou poměrně užitečný nástroj co si našel svoje místo v nemálo vědeckých oborech.
A v pár pseudo-vědeckých jako třeba finance.
V principu to je využití náhodnosti a opakovaného vzorkování k řešení problémů co jsou příliš náročné na analytické řešení.
Co to znamená ? Představte si, že chcete znát pravděpodobnost, že při hodu kostkou padne číslo větší než 4. To znamená, že vás zajímá pravděpodobnost, že padne 5 nebo 6.
To jsou dvě možnosti. Možností je celkově 6. Pravděpodobnost, že hodím 2 strany z 6 je rovna 2/6 = 0,333=33%
