Palantir data mining company

Question your assumptions

Capitalism & competition are antonyms

There is no need to wait to start business, you can start doing it without any credentials

Be relentless at your efforts

Trend attracts lots of people which causes competition & no differentiation, you do not want to be the next soc. network company

Avoid trends, instead work on unique mission/problem

Gratitude and abundance are the same things

You are average 5 people around you

Key to entrepreneurship & success is to reduce risks

Improve yourself 1% a week

Sleep at least 8 hours for good health, it is essential for rejuvenating brain & body

Be vaguely correct instead of being precisely wrong

Nasim Taleb

News is the worst form of junk food you inject yourself

Fiction writers are the best writers

While reading, new ideas come to his mind & he starts writing

Learn to say no, time is more valuable than money, saying no gives you time

Time is non-renewable resource

Money magnifies all your qualities

Every tomorrow is defined by what you do today

Middle class is slowly diminishing

Industry gatekeepers are going away: you can publish your book

Big corporations will not hire you anymore, you have to build your own business

Your writing should be entertaining and educational

In your writing show your vulnerability, your pain points and write how you resolved this problem, never give advice on what to do

4hww book's objective is to give people tools for maximizing their per hour output/productivity power of no book summary

In valley of failure we saw our seeds of success

Rhonda Patrick

Micronutrients

Vitamin K in dark leafy plants

If you want better cognitive performance move a lot physically

Fasting and less ejaculation lengthens life time of males

Take micronutrients to prevent future illnesses

Focus and get your micronutrients for good health, this is low hanging fruit

In diet, absence of harmful things does not guarantee presence of useful things, therefore develop habit of taking micronutrients

30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up and fistful of greens in every meal is great
