    Fantastic read, thanks.

    I am so grateful for your blog.

    I was wondering if you can write why there's so many betas in Silicon Valley.

    Thanks,

    Stew

    Thank you. Will give my "report" on it once I have finished it.

    Next on my list, John Carreryou's Bad Blood, a new release. Teaches a lot about how things really work in Silicon Valley.

    Don't let them fool you. I also wrote a blog post on Holmes a few weeks back, here.

    Thanks, Nick.

    Looking at the environment as it was 2,000 years ago, you realize women had only one or maybe two choices of mates back then (slaves and Roman women alike). Also, prostitution was legal.

    And nowadays ? What is the mate pool for a woman ? Dozens, hundreds, perhaps ?

    No kidding.

    Here's a useful hint for you.

    All countries where prostitution is legal -or at least tolerated -are happier.

    Come to Jamaica.

    Hey, Thanks for the video.

    Good advice: if you talk louder, you'll gain respect that feeds into the self-respect loop. That's a good channel to watch.

    The Spartacus series is full of lessons:

    In episode "Enemies of Rome", Marcus Crassus sends his messengers to the two Roman generals fighting Spartacus, Cossinius and Furius, on a route close to the rebel camp. Spartacus intercepts them. After learning of the planned intervention spearheading Crassus, Spartacus attacks Cossinius and Furius in the middle of the night, defeating them.

    The move was anticipated by Marcus Crassus. He effectively becomes sole-in-command of the anti-Spartacus Army.

    "How did you know that Spartacus would move like that ?" asked Crassus's son.

    "Because that's what I would have done", responds Crassus

    Beware of the enemy who knows you. He will lay the deadliest trap.
