Solo investing beats small groups for speed and conviction. Five years in, I've learned committees dilute the best contrarian bets. Trusting your own thesis is harder but far more profitable than chasing consensus. #investing #contrarian #behavioralfinance

Crowdsource: Hydration Motivation: Spite Edition
Ok gang, I was searching for stickers or magnets or something as little reminders to drink more water, and honestly the most successful motivator for me is spite or at least something that actually feels like A Real, Specific Goal than just "be hydrated because it's good for you" (although that should be enough).
So far the one I like best says, "Drink more water. Outlive your enemies." And that's not bad…
I don't run(!) but if I did I would buy the tank top that says, "I run so I can keep up with The Doctor" (this one says "work out" (well, it says "workout" but it should say work out as the verb not the noun…) but you get the idea).
So… if we could collectively brainstorm (like when Martha got the world to think DOCTOR all at once to un-creepy-old-age him)… anybody got any "slogans" that are maybe not quite reverse psychology but like, contrarian and perverse (see 2b or 3) or just petty and spiteful and revenge-ful…
Or something that's like, I'm doing this really bland thing to give myself a Fun, Cool Superpower. Or to 'imitate' a really badass person.
I'd be ever so grateful for your ideas!!!
(Not really looking for "tips HOW to drink more water" - just little mottos I can stick in various places to remind myself why it's "important" (to me!))

💡 Đang thử nghiệm các công cụ AI viết nội dung (X, LinkedIn) và nhận ra: hầu hết tối ưu “an toàn, trung tính”. Nhưng những bài thành công thường phá vỡ giả định, đặt câu hỏi, nói điều không thoải mái. 🧠 Tôi đang hướng tới góc nhìn phản biện – không nóng bỏng, mà phân tích có cấu trúc. Các bạn nghĩ tư duy phản biện có còn thiếu trong AI hiện nay, hay người dùng chỉ muốn nội dung an toàn? #AI #AItools #ContentCreation #Contrarian #SaaS #ViệtNam #Marketing #NộiDung #SángTạo #Tech 🚀

"Always remember that conformity is where tomorrow's greatness goes to die." - Futurist Jim Carroll
----
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing his end-of-2025 / introduction-to-2026 series, 26 Principles for 2026. You can follow along at 2026.jimcarroll.com. He welcomes your comments.
---I've long suggested that one of the best ways to align with the future is through this thinking: when everybody is running one way, run the other way!
Be the contrarian. The hole in the bucket, the square peg with a bunch of round holes, the one who says "why not?' when everyone else is saying 'why?'
We are on Day 17. Yesterday, we looked at the terrifying math of the future—the sheer scale of change that is coming. 1-2-4-16-64 vs. 1-2-3-45.
When faced with that kind of overwhelming scale, the natural human instinct is to feel overwhelmed. And I am willing to admit that one reaction I see in common with all of my audiences is that this feeling is universal. I've been doing text-message-based polling from the stage for over 15 years, and one overwhelmingly consistent attitude is that people feel universally overwhelmed by the speed of the future.
So they try to avoid it. They try to fit in. They take the cautious route.
They choose the comfortable over discomfort.
The result? When we feel a need for comfort, to fit in, to follow the herd instinct, we try to be like everyone else. We look for safety in numbers. Case in point: we look at our competitors and say, "Well, they are doing AI this way, so we should too." Korn Ferry made this observation about AI: "Among the most expensive keeping-up-with-the-Joneses games in corporate history."
Need more proof? We seek out "best practices," which is usually just a fancy word for "copying the average."
I rest my case.
In a linear world, fitting in was a survival strategy. You survived by being a cog that fit perfectly into the machine.
In an exponential world, conformity is a death sentence.
Here's why: read the full post at the link below.

Just an excellent piece by #JenniferRubin in the #Contrarian.
“The Nobel Prize Committee announced its annual awards over the last week or so. Aside from the number of winners based at U.S. universities (which have been until now the crown jewel of our education and scientific communities), something else caught my attention: Are the Nobel Prize judges…trolling Donald Trump?…”

We came not for the show
but the bloody spectacle
of our existence dissolutionNasty beasts were released
to assist the thought police
in canceling all #contrarian dissentIn fact anyone deemed different
of appearance or opinion
were labeled as threats
and caught in the net
of state sanctioned repressionOnce the complicit population
shaken from former indifference
was worked into a sufficient frenzy
our extinction ticket was punchedEven the predators of this feast know
the blood thirsty spectators
today cheering on the carnage
will soon enough
be their squealing lunch -

And yet in Europe, the spirit of liberal democracy (however imperfect) remains alive and well. A sense of the public good still thrives, and millions of people strive to hold on to the achievements of Western Civilization."
