My grandmother got so excited when the Walt Disney Concert Hall opened 20+ years ago in downtown Los Angeles. Somehow she got tickets to see the LA Philharmonic during that premiere season and invited me along. Unfortunately I was out of town and couldn't go. She passed away in 2015. I promised myself that someday I'd bring her to a concert in spirit. On Valentine's Day I finally did. We watched one of Gustavo Dudamel's last performances as conductor of the LA Phil. And, for the nth time, I w...

Look at the picture below and see if you can tell which Premier League striker had those numbers. Really, take a few seconds to think about it.If you thought "Roberto Firmino," you're right. Congratulations, you're a football nerd. But I want you to notice something, Bobby Firmino, although widely regarded (and rightfully so) as one of the most exciting strikers to play in the league, was never a prolific goalscorer. His highest tally was 15 in a season, and that happened only once. He had se...

gm zm. This morning I wrote in my journal that I was going for a bench PR. I’ve been trying at 160 for a while. Strong, but stuck. Close, but not over. Today I pushed past it. Got over that 160 hurdle. Clean lift. Controlled. No drama. Just focus and follow-through. It felt really good — not just because of the number, but because I said I would do it… and then I did. That alignment hits different.

Today's edition examines one of the major AI labs, its origin story, how it tackles the challenges of AI safety, and how crypto can lend a helping hand.

Earlier this month, self-driving car company Waymo announced that it had raised $16 billion (largely from its parent company, Alphabet) at a $126 billion post-money valuation. This is a big number. And according to Bloomberg, the company's annualized revenue run rate is around $350 million, meaning its current valuation is sitting at 360x revenue. Multiples can often be sky-high for new, huge-bet companies, but Om Malik recently offered an interesting take on the "physics of the problem." As ...

In the late 18th century, Thomas Malthus looked at a field of wheat and a growing population and saw a trap. Every biological system, he argued, has a ceiling — a point at which the environment can no longer absorb more growth without beginning to collapse. He called it carrying capacity. His math was sound. What he got wrong was assuming the ceiling was fixed. He was not the last person to make that mistake. In 2026, carrying capacity has migrated from biology textbooks into boardrooms, city...

This article makes a simple but bold case: Iran could become one of the biggest investment stories of the 2030s. Not because something new is being discovered, but because something large and powerful has been kept outside the global system for decades. With nearly 90 million people, enormous oil and gas reserves, vast mineral wealth, strategic geography between East and West, and a highly accomplished global diaspora, Iran already has the scale. What it has lacked is political alignment with gl
