ich I say, they have a ban on large-scale nuclear plants. What's wrong with them? It's 2025.

Then I'm going to end with a little bit of advice. And one of the pieces of advice is from Rob Henderson who was on the Boyce podcast and he was asked about one piece of advice he had given. I don't know where he gave it, might have been in his book. If you're not following Rob Henderson on X you should. He's got a lot of good content on psychology and studies about psychology and how people act. But anyway, he said one of the advices was to overdeliver and do more than people expect of you. And he credited me for where he saw that. Now I didn't make that one up. You've all heard that one before, right? Do overdeliver and underpromise. You should always do more than you say you're going to do. It's some of the best advice. And one of the reasons it's the best advice, it's just the easiest thing to do to get an advantage in this world.

And he talked about his experience as a dishwasher when he was a young man. And he was getting praised and he was getting raises and he didn't understand why his boss was so happy with him because all he did was show up on time and do the work. Well, if you've ever worked with dishwashers, they don't show up on time and sometimes they just don't show up and they don't always do the work. So it doesn't take much to be the best dishwasher. But it's also true in your corporate job. It doesn't take much. Maybe you work a weekend and your boss sees it. Maybe you volunteer to help a co-worker on a thing. Maybe you see a project that hasn't been asked for, but you know it's worth doing, so you just start doing it. It's really, really easy to be in the top 10% of any group. It just really is. And so that's good advice. Anytime you have a possibility of doing a little bit better than the other people, it totally pays off. Yeah. Show up one minute before your boss and leave one minute after your boss and your boss will think you're there all day. That's one of my favorite tricks.

And then this bit of advice from Marc Andreessen, which you may have heard from me as well. So I don't know that he was influenced by me on this. It might be just obvious enough observation. But he says the person who writes down the thing has tremendous power. When he says the thing that you're writing down, it just means it depends on the situation, right? It's the thing. And I've told you the same thing that when I wrote down the list of hoaxes that the Democrats have used, it became really powerful because people said, oh, here's a list. I'll send that around. It's one of the most viral things on the internet right now. And it's because I wrote it down. Now, because I wrote it down, I got to decide what was on the list and what wasn't. So I got to have an unusually large impact on politics because I wrote it down when I wrote the blog post called The Clown Genius in which when Trump was running for first announced in 2015 and everybody said he's a crazy clown and I wrote a blog post that went hugely viral in which I said well he might be a clown but he's a clown genius because he's using his clownery as part of his weaponry and part of his persuasion. And sure enough, now the blog post was hugely persuasive because it was the first time people saw Trump being reframed into a brilliant operator as opposed to a clown. So I got to do that. And why was it because I was so smart? Well, I mean that might be my story, but the reality is, as Marc Andreessen says, the person who writes down the thing has tremendous power.

So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you could take some time to do a little more than people expected of you. Again, these two things fit together really well. And you just take the time to write it down. And maybe somebody will edit it later. Maybe you're not the best writer. Doesn't matter. Whoever writes it down has a lot of power. I've often also said that about speech writers for politicians. The speech writer has a lot of power because they can sort of test out ways to reframe things. Now, the politician who's going to read the speech still has the ultimate power, but you can so often influence them by coming up with a great way to reframe something that they can't resist it. So if you come up with a great reframe and you're a speech writer, then your politician is going to be repeating that reframe. So you have tremendous power writing stuff down.

All right, that's all I got for you today. I went way long, so I'm going to say bye to everybody except for the locals, beloved subscribers. I'm going to talk to you privately and the rest of you, thanks for joining. I will see you tomorrow. Same time, same place. If all of our technology.
