FINRA SRO Self Regulatory Organization Collects fines for criminal activity but instead of giving the money to the victims it goes into their general fund to pay salaries. FINRA’S GENERAL FUND IS 2 BILLION DOLLARS I can’t believe he admitted this in the Congressional hearing. FINRA has some very shady activities that are being exposed. But for some reason they have immunity. So basically they can do what ever they want and answer to NO ONE REVOKE FINRA IMMUNITYMURRAY: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
DAHL: Yes.
MURRAY: And the rate for someone making $1 million?
DAHL: 2.2%.
MURRAY: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

AI

Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls for an international treaty to ban superintelligence:
“That branch of AI is lethal. We’ve got do something about that. Nobody should build it. And everyone needs to agree to that by treaty. Treaties are not perfect, but they are the best we have as humans.”

PUBLIC SPEAKING

@ihtesham2005

A MIT professor taught the same lecture every January for 40 years, and every single time it was standing room only.

I watched it at 2am and it completely rewired how I think about communication.

His name was Patrick Winston. The lecture is called “How to Speak.”

His opening line hit like a truck: your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas in that order.

Not your GPA. Not your pedigree. Not your IQ. How you speak is what separates people who get heard from people who get ignored.

Here’s the framework he drilled into MIT students for four decades.

He said never start with a joke. Start by telling people exactly what they’re going to learn. Prime the pump before you pour anything in. He called it the “empowerment promise” give people a reason to stay in their seats within the first 60 seconds.

Then he broke down the 5S rule for making ideas stick: Symbol, Slogan, Surprise, Salient, and Story. Every idea worth remembering hits at least three of these.

The part that floored me was his “near miss” technique. Don’t just show what’s right show what almost looks right but isn’t. That contrast is when the brain actually locks something in permanently.

His final rule before any big talk: end with a contribution, not a summary. Don’t recap what you said. Tell people what you gave them that they didn’t have before they walked in.

I’ve used this framework in pitches, interviews, and presentations ever since watching it, and the results are not subtle.

Patrick Winston passed away in 2019, but this lecture is still free on MIT OpenCourseWare. One hour, watched by millions, and it costs absolutely nothing.

The most important class MIT ever put on the internet isn’t about code or math. It’s about how to make people actually listen to you.
