A "Paradox" is a statement that seems contradictory but actually contains a hidden truth.
Once you see them, your worldview changes forever.
Here are my 10 favorite mind-bending paradoxes that will upgrade your thinking & decision making: 🧵

1. The Paradox of Choice
1. The Paradox of Choice:
Logic says more options = more freedom. Psychology says more options = anxiety and analysis paralysis.
When you have too many choices, you are less likely to pick one, and less satisfied with the one you do pick.
Constraints create creativity.

2. The Stockdale Paradox:
Named after Admiral James Stockdale, a prisoner of war for 7 years.
He survived by doing two contradictory things:
• Maintaining faith that he would prevail in the end.
• Confronting the brutal facts of his current reality.
Blind optimism kills.

When the EU caved in to Trump on trade in July, many of us warned that this type of extorsion never stops
Now Trump threatens 10% (25% in June) tariffs on 8 European countries opposing a US takeover of Greenland
It is time to unleash a radical response:
Tariffs for oligarchs🧵

The European response to Trump so far – sending ~10 soldiers to Greenland – has been pitiful.
Any serious response has to be in the economic sphere, where the EU has a lot of power: a market of 450 million consumers.

EYE FLOATERS - a sign your body is quietly suffering.
This is how they form, what that tells you about your underlying health, and how to prevent/eliminate them.

The vitreous fluid in the eyes is what makes up most of your eyeballs.
That fluid isn't just water, it's full of collagenous protein, hyaluronic acid and other structural components that give it its characteristic jelly-like features.
That fluid isn't just water, it's full of collagenous protein, hyaluronic acid and other structural components that give it its characteristic jelly-like features.
It also contains tons of antioxidants, in order to prevent these structures from breaking down from oxidative stress.
Without enough of these antioxidants, these structures break down and clump up in the vitreous.

Last week, a 35-year-old male died in my ER because he did everything "wrong" after a snake bite. He followed "movie logic" instead of medical reality.
Here is everything you should know about snake bites and exactly what to do to stay alive. 🧵

The Tourniquet Trap 🚫
His first mistake? Tying a tight rope.
Tourniquets don't "trap" venom. They trap "flesh-eating" toxins in one spot, causing gangrene and amputation. It starves your limb of oxygen.
Never tie it. Treat the limb like a fracture instead.

The "Action Movie" Myth 🔪
He tried to "cut and suck" the venom out.
Don't. Venom is injected deep and spreads instantly.
Cutting causes massive bleeding.
Sucking introduces mouth bacteria.
You waste the "Golden Hour" playing hero.

This is the entire stolen documents indictment. I recommend perusing it before Jack Smith’s public testimony. I guarantee it will give everyone much needed context for when he answers questions. Please share. Here is the link also. justice.gov/storage/US-v-T…
Nauta texted Melania about flying with boxes of stolen documents. Why exactly would Trump need to take them when he traveled? We all know.
Here is when employees at Mar A Lago texted about Trump (the boss) wanted the surveillance servers deleted. Since they couldn’t do so we all know that they then tried to flood the server room with pool water. Destruction of evidence anyone?

Pittsburgh opened around -2.5.
Nothing flashy.
Nothing controversial.
Just a normal Super Bowl line.

I'm often asked how to land a research job at a frontier AI lab. It's hard, especially without a research background, but I like to point to @kellerjordan0 as an example showing it can be done.
Keller graduated from UCSD with no publication record and was working at an AI content moderation startup when he landed a cold call with @bneyshabur (who was at Google) and presented an idea to improve upon Behnam's recent paper. Behnam agreed to mentor him, which led to an ICLR paper.
Sadly there's less open research today, but improving upon a researcher's published work is a great way to demonstrate excellence to someone inside a lab and give them the conviction to advocate for an interview.
Later, Keller got on @OpenAI's radar thanks to the NanoGPT speed run he started. All his work was documented and it was easy to measure his success, so the case for hiring him was strong.
Keller is one example, but there's plenty of other success stories as well: 🧵

@_sholtodouglas was at McKinsey when he became convinced AI would take off and started doing his own AI side projects. His insightful questions on the JAX GitHub and personal projects impressed @jekbradbury, who invited him to interview at @GoogleDeepMind
@andy_l_jones was a semi-retired quant when he wrote a paper comparing the impact of scaling pretraining vs scaling test-time compute (before TTC scaling was cool). The paper was impressive not because it achieved SOTA performance on some benchmark, but rather because he made smart design choices, wrote gpu accelerated environments, and ran careful ablations. The fact that he self-published showed initiative. He's now at @Anthropic.

Intel reports Q4 earnings in 4 hours.
The stock is up 10% pre-earnings, hit a 2-year high of $53, and is up 145% in the past year.
This is either the greatest comeback story in tech—or a massive bull trap. Here's what to watch... 🧵

The setup:
Intel was left for DEAD in 2024:
Stock hit $17 (lowest in a decade)
Losing to Nvidia in AI
Losing to TSMC in manufacturing
Losing relevance entirely
Then everything changed.

What saved Intel:
U.S. Government: CHIPS Act funding
Nvidia: Partnership announced (the irony)
SoftBank: Major investment
Amazon/Microsoft: AI server chip orders
Suddenly Intel went from "dying" to "strategic national asset."

When Kurds got their first stab dagger from Kesra Nermend.
The second one will be suggestion of suicide.
😂 The strange part will be when the Kesra Nermend will suggest suicide plan to Poland! 😂
Trusting retards and playing night pirate warriors in the day won't end well.
