Sun Tzu wrote, "We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country—its mountains and forests." And if you're marching through life—through setbacks, through ambition, through pain—you better know your terrain. This isn’t just about maps or GPS. It’s about awareness. It’s about preparation. It's about understanding your challenges, your limits, your strengths, and your surroundings. You can’t lead your team, your family, or even yourself if you're b...

"We Will All Go Together When We Go (ASI version)" When you attend a funeral, It is sad to think that sooner or Later those you love will do the same for you. And you may have thought it tragic, Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do. But don't you worry. No more ashes, no more sackcloth. And an armband made of

Nick Bostrom defines existential risk as Existential risk – One where an adverse outcome would either annihilate Earth-originating intelligent life or permanently and drastically curtail its potential.

Both my kids can swim! Yay! 🥂🍾 Some notes about the process: The options were group lessons, individual lessons, and parent-is-the-teacher. We have tried all three. Individual lessons were logistically inconvenient and expensive. Group lessons were equally inconvenient, and while they seem less expensive, my impression was that if your kid is in a class of four kids, all just getting started from zero, then they’re gonna make progress at 30% the speed, for 30% the cost, and 100% of the hassle

Sun Tzu wrote, “We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbors.” Translation? Don’t shake hands until you know what the other hand is hiding. This isn’t just about military strategy — it’s about life, leadership, business, relationships, and your personal mission. Sun Tzu was reminding us that alliances are powerful, but they’re not free.
