Good morning 🌞.
What is happening around the world?

UK started to sent letters to all the rich people and entrepreneurs (income above £200,000) - assigning them compliance audit advisors.

Europe is going downhill. I hope they can save themselves.

US society is deeply divided.
It’s not that one side is good and the other is bad. Both sides increasingly hate each other and show little interest in objective truth.

AI Life Hack: The Future-Self Decision Filter
Stuck between options? Paste this into any AI:
“I’m deciding between [A] and [B]. My long-term goals are [list 2–3]. My values are [list 2–3]. Advise me as my future self looking back in 5 years. What would I regret more, and why? Be direct.”

(I was surprised about the teachers, but it's true.)

Happy Hump Day — in a few years AI will handle the midweek grind so we can all focus on the actual peaks.

The genius act...
Stable coins means that the USD will continue to be used around the globe.

Israel voted. High turnout, no majority.
