Someone asked me: My content is very inspiring to watch every day, but it’s quite fragmented. Do you have anything more systematic? I’m considering creating a product for people going through a transition. It’s not simply about teaching you how to make money, but about helping you rediscover yourself, reorganize the abilities, experience, resources, and knowledge you’ve accumulated in the past, and find a position that better suits your future.
It is mainly for those who have done well in the past but are thinking about what to do next.

On X, nearly all the narratives about fear you see are aimed at ordinary people: war, unemployment, layoffs, debt, collapse, downward social mobility, and an increasingly difficult future. Meanwhile, narratives about opportunities are often aimed at the wealthy: new finance, AI, mergers and acquisitions, globalization, asset allocation, new markets, new technologies, and a new round of wealth growth. Ordinary people receive “what you might lose” every day, while the wealthy study “where the next opportunity lies.” The information you consume over the long term shapes your worldview. Fear makes

Don’t give up. Many failures along the way are building momentum for that greater final result.

Many former Silicon Valley elites were highly successful under the old order, but the world has changed while their path dependence remains rooted in that old order. As a result, they feel exhausted and want to change, yet find it difficult to truly leave the past behind. What they truly lack is often not ability, but the ability to find a new position: acknowledging that the old map is no longer valid, temporarily setting aside their past identities, methods, and records of success, observing new needs, new flows of resources, and new forms of value exchange, and then building a new framework

There are too many clever narratives out there about “learning quickly, switching quickly, and catching trends,” but what can truly become your own usually requires long-term immersion, repeated practice, and completing the full loop. Intelligence helps you understand faster; depth is what allows you to truly possess it.

A subscriber asked me to analyze what Trump just said: “The United States has secured permanent control over Greenland’s security and other needs.” What does this mean?
1. Militarily, the United States can maintain a long-term troop presence, build military facilities, and freely enter and fly over Greenland.
2. In terms of security, the United States can prevent non-NATO countries from establishing bases or deploying military forces in Greenland.
3. Economically, the United States gains strong veto power over strategically sensitive investments and can block what it identifies as adversaries

True excess returns in investing come from two moments: when others still don’t understand, and when no one else dares to buy.

Did you know? In this world, successful people tend to become increasingly alike, while those who fail are each different in their own way.

Extremism often begins with a person constantly proving themselves right.

A subscriber asked me: What do I think about Chinese businessmen beginning to invite and entertain Elon Musk’s father? I wrote a lot, repeatedly revised it, and in the end deleted everything. It’s not that I had nothing to write about; it’s that the deeper I went, the more it involved matters beyond business. There are actually many issues of human nature, business, and intimate relationships here that are worth observing. But in the end, I decided not to write about it. Most importantly, I’m afraid Musk will ban my account. Because insight is a kind of ability, and so is restraint.

A moderate amount of “bad luck” when you’re young is sometimes itself part of long-term good fortune. But if you’re older and still frequently surrounded by fools, then you’re the fool.

I recently watched the film In Time: once people reach the age of 25, they stop aging, but must constantly earn “time” to stay alive. The rich possess hundreds of years, while the poor scramble every day to earn enough life for tomorrow. Many people become outraged by the unfairness of the world at this point, but few continue to ask: Why was this system designed this way? If everyone had unlimited time while the population, resources, and productivity remained limited, the system would likewise be unsustainable. Therefore, every system is essentially a way of managing and distributing scarcit

What is the old order? In essence, the old order is the entire set of rules for distributing resources, interests, power, and positions that gradually took shape after the previous round of the world created its cake. The advantages of the old world mainly came from existing assets: land, capital, connections, identity, licenses, organizational positions, and the power to formulate rules gained from these assets. Because resources and points of entry were limited, and positions were hierarchical, newcomers naturally had to enter systems established by those who came before and accept the exist

Some say that exam-oriented education is the fairest path available to ordinary people in China. The core issue, however, is this: why is the path on which ordinary people can compete relatively fairly so narrow? When institutions, power, capital, connections, and vested interests occupy a large share of high-quality resources, ordinary people can only compete through the few remaining open channels, making exam-based competition seem particularly fair.
The imperial examination system in history was similar. The imperial examinations gradually developed during the Tang dynasty and became furth

The world will not exempt you from the effects of the rules simply because you do not know them. This is true of the law, business, human nature, and wealth. Ignorance is not an exemption clause; more often than not, it is the starting point of paying the price.

True emotional intelligence is not about being socially polished, ingratiating yourself with everyone, or knowing how to win the favor of the powerful. It is a natural sensitivity to the circumstances of others. At a gathering, such a person notices the one who is least visible; when a group is about to eat, they will say, “Let’s wait for the person who prepared all this food before we start”; when passing through a narrow passage, they let the elderly, children, and vulnerable go first; when someone has tried several times to speak but keeps being interrupted, they take the initiative to give

The less capable people are of handling uncertainty, the more they crave certainty; the more they crave certainty, the more likely they are to mistake “being willing to make promises” for “possessing the ability to deliver.” Yet in the real world, those truly willing to offer absolute certainty are often precisely the people least obliged to be accountable for its truth.

In the future, no one will control AI companies; ultimately, they will learn from Web3 and move toward decentralization. Every major AI version upgrade or amendment to its constitutional red lines will be like electing a president.

Conduct a brief survey: Have you ever, or do you currently, possessed abilities, experience, or advantages in a specific field that are significantly greater than those of ordinary people?
