Carl Jung said: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it'll direct your life & you'll call it fate.”

Feeling stuck? It’s not bad luck.

It’s your shadow controlling you. Most run from it & never break free.

7 Jung principles that reveal the hidden forces driving your life: 1. The Collective Unconscious: You are not a blank slate

Jung believed that deep below your personal memories lives a collective unconscious, a psychological inheritance passed through generations.

It contains universal themes, instincts, and symbolic patterns shared by all humans.

It’s why myths, dreams, and hero stories feel familiar even across cultures and centuries.

Citadel made $16B in profit in 2022.

More than Disney, Tesla, and Netflix.

But no one talks about Ken Griffin.

He built the world’s most profitable trading empire by staying invisible.

Here’s how a math nerd from Harvard became Wall Street’s real kingmaker: It started with a satellite dish on a Harvard dorm.

Ken Griffin was 19.

While his classmates studied for finals, he was building a hedge fund from his dorm room.

He convinced a family friend to give him $265,000.

Then illegally bolted a satellite dish to his window to get real-time market data.

By the time he graduated, he was managing over $1 million.

Luxembourg runs global finance.

Not New York. Not London. Not Hong Kong.

One tiny country manages trillions in offshore funds for the world’s richest.

Here’s how Luxembourg became banking’s most powerful tax haven: 🧵
Luxembourg is the 2nd-largest investment fund center on earth, behind only the U.S.

It manages over €7.2 trillion in assets across 14,500+ funds, more than Germany’s GDP, in a country smaller than Rhode Island.

How did it pull this off?

John D. Rockefeller was the richest man to ever live.

He controlled 90% of U.S. oil:

• Bribed politicians
• Crushed competitors
• Dodged taxes like a magician

U.S. Government had to break up his empire.

But behind the scenes, he followed 3 rules that made him unstoppable:
1. Play long games, even when everyone calls you a villain

Rockefeller wasn’t just patient; he was relentless.

He reinvested profits, undercut competitors, and built oil pipelines when railroads tried to squeeze him.

People called him a “robber baron.”

This one company owns the U.S. school system.

Not Google. Not Pearson.

PowerSchool does:

• Used in 70% of K–12 districts
• Tracks behavior, grades, health data
• Sells student data behind the scenes

Here’s how it turned kids into data points and no one noticed 🧵
PowerSchool began in 1997 as a niche student records tool.

Today, it’s a $4B empire used by over 70% of U.S.

K–12 schools, managing over 60 million student profiles.

If your kid has ever had grades online, you’ve probably used it.

Hailey Bieber is the new beauty mogul.

Forget Estée, Kylie, or even Rihanna.

She launched Rhode in 2022.
Critics dismissed it as a vanity project.

Just 3 years later, she built a $1B brand and sold it for $800M.

Here’s how she turned lip gloss into generational wealth:
Hailey Bieber was seen as just another influencer.

Too young. No chemistry background. No startup experience.

But she had what legacy brands didn’t:

• Taste
• Speed
• Intuition

And a burning obsession with quality skin.

There’s a Stoic exercise called Premeditatio Malorum.

You imagine everything going wrong.

Losing your job, your home, your loved ones & even your life.

Why? To train your mind for chaos and kill the illusion of control.

Here’s why the Stoics rehearsed disaster daily: “Premeditation of evils” wasn’t about fear; it was about freedom.

Seneca, a Roman philosopher, wrote:

“Rehearse them in your mind: exile, torture, war, shipwreck... all the terms of our human lot should be before our eyes.”

Not to suffer twice.
But so when pain comes, it doesn’t surprise you.

The man who exposed how the world really works.

John Perkins, The Economic Hitman.

His memoir was so dangerous that it was buried for 20 years.

When it resurfaced, it cracked open a secret playbook of global control.

Here are 5 brutal truths from the book:
1. Debt is the new colonization

Forget tanks and invasions. The new empire is built on debt.

Perkins’ job? Convince poor countries to accept billion-dollar loans from the World Bank and USAID.

But the money didn’t go to the people...

Naval Ravikant doesn’t believe in retirement.

He calls it a "dangerous fantasy for people trapped in jobs they hate."

Instead, he built his life around "retirement in motion."

Here’s Naval’s anti-retirement system and how it works: Naval never chased a traditional career.

He didn’t climb ladders.
He didn’t aim for a corner office.
He didn’t wait for retirement to finally “live.”

Because he saw what most people don’t:

“Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow.”

Anne Wojcicki is the rebel scientist who turned spit into a billion-dollar empire.

Everyone passed on her startup, even her then-husband’s company, Google.

She launched 23andMe anyway.

Now, pharma giants pay for the same DNA data investors ignored.

Here’s the story:
Anne started her career on Wall Street.

She was a healthcare analyst who studied how billions were made from treating illness, not preventing it.

That realization haunted her...

The guy who built one of the biggest startups without being the CEO.

This is Adam D’Angelo.

• Facebook’s first CTO
• Left to start Quora
• Quietly joined OpenAI’s board
• Outlasted Sam Altman during the board drama

Here’s how a low-key founder became the backbone of AI: Adam wasn’t the loudest guy in the room.
But he was always the smartest.

He went to Caltech, crushed the Putnam Math Competition, and coded like a machine.

Mark Zuckerberg once said:

“Adam could out-code anyone I knew.”

He wasn’t built for fame. He was built to build.

Einstein’s biggest regret wasn’t about physics.

Not the bomb.
Not his lost Nobel.
Not even his failed marriage.

His private letters revealed a buried truth about genius and burnout...

Here’s the full story 👇
The world remembers Albert Einstein as the man who bent the universe.

But behind the myth was something far more human:

A man overwhelmed.
Restless.
Crushed under the weight of his own genius.

He never talked about it publicly, but his private letters tell the real story.

Seneca once said:

“We suffer more in imagination than in reality.”

2,000 years later, this hits harder than any self-help book.

Here are 9 Stoic truths from Seneca that reshaped how I handle stress, fear, and ambition: 1. We suffer more in imagination than in reality.

Most anxiety is fictional.

You rehearse pain that hasn’t arrived.
You fear outcomes that never happen.

What if I told you the food pyramid was never based on science?

It was built to sell grains, not protect your health.

Here’s how lobbyists hijacked nutrition, made you addicted to carbs, and created a trillion-dollar obesity industry 👇 The year is 1992.

The USDA unveils a new national dietary guideline:

The Food Guide Pyramid.

At the bottom: 6 to 11 servings of bread, rice, and cereal.

At the top: fats and oils—“use sparingly.”

Casinos are designed so the house always wins.

But Richard Marcus flipped the script.

He worked for a casino, learned their secrets, then stole $25 million using a secret betting trick.

This is how he beat the system and almost got away with it:
Richard Marcus wasn’t a genius or a math whiz.

In the 1970s, he was a broke gambler in Las Vegas, living on the streets after losing everything.

One night, a casino pit boss took pity on him.

He offered Marcus a job as a dealer.

What the casino didn’t know?

No one made more money in trading than Jim Simons.

Not Buffett. Not Soros. Not Dalio.

His hedge fund was so powerful, he shut it down to outsiders.

$100 in 1988 grew to $400M in 30 years.

Here’s how a mathematician became the world’s greatest trader:
Jim Simons was no ordinary investor.

Before conquering Wall Street, he was:

• A math professor at MIT and Harvard
• A Cold War code-breaker for the NSA
• A pioneer in quantum computing

But none of this satisfied him.

"Some people like to paint, others like to cook. I like to make money."

I am obsessed with learning everything.

So, I spent 100+ hours studying how Elon Musk absorbs information.

He literally taught himself everything about programming, reusable rockets, electric cars, etc.

Here's what I found on how to learn anything: Elon Musk doesn't believe in the conventional education system.

Why?

Because they don't prioritize rapid and thorough learning, critical thinking, or problem-solving

This was the reason he self-taught himself about everything, using textbooks & turning to experts for guidance.
