39: Notes To Self

Yo, it’s Luke!

Hey Mom and Dad, I wanted to give you a shoutout before I graduate. Turns out my jokes about “dropping out” stayed as jokes ;)

Thanks for setting me up to live my dreams, I love you ❤️

That said, here is your weekly dose of 5 noteworthy ideas & things I learned about last week. Click on each link to dive further on that topic.

1. Jerome Powell x Yachty

2. Enlightened Startup Bro Bingo

I’m honestly trying to check off most of these

3. Favorite Historical Date Comparisons (Reddit)

This is still one of my favorite reddit threads. Here’s some more wild facts I learned:

• Virginia was founded in 1607 when Shakespeare was still alive.

• The city of Boston was founded (1630) while Galileo was still alive and Isaac Newton had yet to be born (1642).

• Picasso died the same year Pink Floyd released "Dark Side Of The Moon”

• Orville Wright and Neil Armstrong were both alive at the same time. (Just for eight years, but still!)

• Anne Frank and MLK were born the same year.

• The Founding Fathers didn't know about dinosaurs -- science didn’t prove the existence of dinosaurs until 1841 (Abraham Lincoln was in his 30s).

• The modern day battery was invented one year after George Washington died.

• Qing Dynasty in China was founded the same year as Harvard University.

• Nintendo predates the first video game by about 60 years.

4. This Is The Vibe I’m Tryna Bring To “The Real World” (60 sec watch)

5. Boogie Woogie Improv Is So Cool

Lemme just bless your feed with this real quick
