Graham Weaver gave one of the most psychologically brutal lectures ever delivered at Stanford.

Not about success or money.

He explained why:
- Fear sounds logical
- Smart people stay stuck
- Most people never live at full potential

12 lessons from his final lecture: 1. Most people aren’t lost, they’re trapped by fear

Weaver didn’t quit his first job because it was terrible.
He quit because it required him to deny who he was.

The fear voice said:
Stay safe
Don’t rock the boat
Be grateful

The truth voice said:
This isn’t your life

Most people confuse fear with responsibility.
That’s how they shrink their future without realizing it.

In 1973, Richard Feynman revealed a way of thinking that makes “common sense” look like superstition.

He broke down:
• Names vs knowledge
• Experiment >> history
• How real discovery happens
• Why rituals survive without evidence

12 lessons from Feynman’s masterclass: 1. Ask: “What witches do we believe in now?”

Feynman starts with a brutal mental move.
People laugh at old beliefs like witches.
Then he flips it:

What are our witches?
What rituals do we do daily with weak evidence, just because “everyone does it”?

Even something as normal as brushing teeth becomes a test case.
Not because he’s anti-toothbrush.
But because he’s anti-unquestioned-belief.

The man who predicted the 2008 crash invested $25M in Singapore.

Ray Dalio has been buying properties in Singapore since 2022.

It's not for investment.

He is hedging against geopolitical collapse.

Here’s why the world’s top investor is hedging with real estate:(Outside US):
In 2022, Ray Dalio left the firm he founded.

Bridgewater Associates, the $150B hedge fund he built, handed over control.

He became a “mentor and CIO emeritus.”

But this wasn’t retirement. It was repositioning.

Steve Jobs never left a will.

But before he died, he transferred all of his shares to a trust.

That single move made her wife a billionaire overnight

And saved his family billions in taxes.

Here’s how the world’s most iconic CEO hacked estate taxes forever: 2011: Jobs is dying.

He’s the face of Apple. A business icon. But behind the scenes, he’s preparing for the end.

Doctors had given him months.

Most people wait until it’s too late to think about estate planning.

Jobs didn’t.

He made one strategic move that would define his legacy and his family’s future.

This book was too dangerous to publish for 73 years.

It reveals how fear, school, and religion enslave your mind.

Napoleon Hill interviewed the “Devil,” and what he discovered will haunt you.

Here are 10 chilling truths that’ll rewire your brain: 1. It was never meant to be published.

Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil in 1938, after Think and Grow Rich.

But his wife (a church educator) refused to let him release it.

She feared backlash. So did publishers.

The manuscript was hidden until it was finally published in 2011, 41 years after Hill’s death.

This Nobel Prize winner proved:

"Smart people make the worst decisions.”

Daniel Kahneman uncovered why intelligence doesn’t protect you from self-sabotage; it makes it worse.

If you think you are “smart,” then you need this thread: 🧵 In 2002, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in Economics.

But he wasn’t an economist.
He was a psychologist.

He proved that our brains are wired to make irrational choices even if we’re highly intelligent.

Especially if we’re intelligent.

He lost his eye.

Lost his 9-year-old son.

Went through a divorce.

He was broke in his 30s.

Then became a billionaire at 58.

Here's how Charlie Munger turned tragedy into a $2 trillion empire: Charlie Munger wasn’t always a billionaire.

He didn’t even make his first million until his mid-40s.

Before that?

He was a broke, depressed, divorced dad with more reasons to quit than continue.

Here’s what happened…

In 1949, China was starving, war-torn & broke.

Its economy was smaller than Italy’s.

The West laughed at the idea it could ever rise.

Today: It's a $17 trillion superpower challenging America.

Here’s the controversial blueprint behind the fastest economic rise in history:
China had nothing in 1949

• GDP per capita: $50
• 90% of people were peasants
• Life expectancy: 36
• Inflation: 1,000%+
• Entire economy < Italy’s

They weren’t just broke. They were broken.

This neuroscientist spent 50 years & gave the greatest line of all time:

"We are not thinking machines. We are feeling machines that think."

Emotions >>>> Logic

Without emotions, people can’t even decide what to eat.

8 facts of “decision-making” that will change how you think:
Meet Antonio Damasio.

One of the most influential neuroscientists of our time.

He spent decades studying emotions, the mind-body connection & consciousness.

His work proved: Emotion isn’t a flaw in decision-making — it’s the foundation.

Without it, rational thought breaks down.

This is Markus Persson.

At 32, he sold Minecraft to Microsoft for $2.5 billion.

Then he bought a $70M mansion… and disappeared into depression.

Here's how a billion dollars ruined his life:
Markus Persson was a coder, not a CEO.

In 2009, he built Minecraft almost entirely solo.

A simple, blocky game with infinite creativity.

No ads. No publishers. No focus groups.

Just raw, open-world imagination.

It exploded into a global phenomenon.

Look at this guy.

By 16, he dropped out of school, started his first company at 17, sold it at 21 & became financially free at 28.

Now? At 39, he’s a multi-millionaire running multiple businesses.

This is my story, and the brutal lessons I learned building real wealth:

// A no-fluff THREAD 🧵 1. No one’s coming to save you.

Not your parents.
Not your boss.
Not your followers.

The faster you accept full responsibility for your life, the faster sh*t changes.

Ownership is the first step to power.

Daniel Kahneman spent decades studying this invisible force:

System 1 vs System 2 thinking.

Your brain is lying to you more often than you think.

Here’s a 2-minute breakdown on how to think clearly even under pressure & save yourself from ruining your life: 1. Your brain runs on two operating systems

Kahneman’s legendary book Thinking, Fast and Slow revealed something most people never notice:

You have two minds.
One is fast.
The other is smart.

He called them:

• System 1 – Fast, intuitive, emotional
• System 2 – Slow, deliberate, logical

What if I told you that billionaires pay less in taxes than you?

One legal loophole allows them to avoid billions.

Here’s how they use tax codes and shell companies to keep their wealth (while you foot the bill) 🧵 The Billionaire Tax Playbook:

Billionaires don’t “cheat” the system—they use it.

While the average person pays taxes on income, the wealthy structure their assets to avoid taxable events altogether.

It’s not luck. It's a strategy. Here’s how they do it:

Charlie Munger swears by one mental model:

Inversion Thinking.

Most people can avoid disastrous life moments by following it.

Here’s a 2-minute breakdown of how to solve problems by thinking backward: 1/ What is Inversion Thinking?

Most people solve problems by asking:
"How do I succeed?"

Inversion flips the question:
"How do I fail?"

By identifying and avoiding failure points, you reduce risks and improve outcomes.

Success is often about avoiding stupidity.

I'm a millionaire, but I:

• Don't read 52 books a year
• Don't meditate for hours
• Don't recite morning affirmations

Here are 7 ways to build wealth (without all this BS): 1. Solve Expensive Problems

Wealth flows to those who fix problems people hate dealing with.

• Taxes → Wealth advisors
• Tech headaches → Software companies
• Weight loss → Fitness programs

The bigger the problem, the bigger the payday.

Stop chasing passion—chase problems.
