“Took every penny from billionaires “. I think you’re onto something. Let’s give that a try.
How much are you going to pay doctors?
Which current hospitals get shut down ?
What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?
How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?

Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

Why the hell do people insist on saying 10 years “time”? Do they think that everybody is too stupid to figure that part out?
NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO SPACE TO WORK FOR BILLIONAIRES. ALIEN IS NOT ASPIRATIONAL.
Altman is bullshitting at Musk's level now.

Writing Tip:
Sometimes you're just going to be away from your writing space when inspiration hits. You might not even have the time to something to write down your idea with. When that happens, try to quickly memorize a short phrase. Pick something memorable. It'll act as a mental bookmark of sorts.

The first draft is when you build up the bare essentials. The bones. The baseline. It won't be good at that point. That's okay! It's only after the first draft that you should start thinking about editing and quality. That's when you polish it and make it shine!

Never underestimate the power of deleting a large chunk of your work and trying again. More often than not, the second attempt will be better than the first. Like taking a trial run before the actual attempt!

When you focus too much on 'getting to the end' of your story, you'll inevitably rush the ending. The ending is paramount. The ending is what sells the whole book. Slow down and give your ending the time and effort it deserves. You'll thank yourself later.

Your first time writing a scene is going to be really bad. You're going to repeat phrases ad nauseum, you're going to make logical errors. Ignore that. Just keep writing. You can revisit that all during the editing phase. Focus on keeping your flow going.

Writing flow is more than just 'I'm writing really fast'. It's about being so enmeshed in your story that it almost feels real. Speed isn't the goal. It's about resonating with your story. You'll get more details right, and it'll just feel better overall.

A prison in French Guiana is the most hellish place on Earth in Papillon – which premiered today in 1973. Starring Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman (both at the peak of their fame), director Franklin J. Schaffner (on the heels of having directed Patton) delivers a bleak, yet curiously uplifting tale.

Don't fall into the 'I always feel like I need to write right now' trap. That's not a healthy mindset. Don't punish yourself whenever you aren't writing. You have a real life with real responsibilities. Write when you can. Have a healthy work/life balance.

Take notes while you write. Have a separate scratchpad on the side when you're working. That's where you put the off-the-cuff ideas that might not work exactly where you're currently writing. It will save you a lot of forgetting cool ideas!
