Robert Greene The Daily Laws June 10 · Infect the Group with Productive Emotions

Infect the group with a sense of resolution that emanates from you. You are not upset by setbacks; you keep advancing and working on problems. You are persistent. The group senses this, and individuals feel embarrassed for becoming hysterical over the slightest shift in fortune. You can try to infect the group with confidence, but be careful that this does not slip into grandiosity. Your confidence and that of the group mostly stems from a successful track record. Periodically change up routines, surprise the group with something new or challenging. This will wake them up and stir them out of the complacency that can settle into any group that achieves success. Most important, showing a lack of fear and an overall openness to new ideas will have the most therapeutic effect of all. The members will become less defensive, which encourages them to think more on their own, and not operate as automatons.

Daily Law: People are naturally more emotional and permeable to the moods of others. Work with human nature and turn this into a positive by infecting the group with the proper set of emotions. People are more susceptible to the moods and attitudes of the leader than of anyone else.

Steven Pressfield The Daily Pressfield Day 161

MY FAVORITE SAMURAI “I fight for the fight alone, serve for the serving alone, tramp for the tramping alone.” Telamon of Arcadia in A Man at Arms, early draft, p. 297 My favorite character in Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai is “Kyuzo” played by Seiji Miyaguchi. Do you remember him? He is the master swordsman, the man of few words, who pursues the calling of arms for its own sake, seeking no reward other than to participate in the journey and to master his craft to the best of his ability. Can we do this, you and I, in our endeavor in the arts? Can we put aside all external or ego-spawned motivations like money, recognition, and so forth? Can we dance for the dance itself, sing for the song itself, write for the writing itself?

Leo Tolstoy A Calendar of Wisdom June 10

There is something in the soul which cannot die, which cannot be affected by death.

He who defeats others is strong; he who defeats himself is powerful, and he who knows when he dies that he will not be destroyed is eternal.

—LAO-TZU

People are born and live only as manifestations, or pieces of God; therefore they cannot be completely destroyed.

They can disappear from before our eyes, but they cannot be destroyed.

One person was within my sight for a long time; another went out of my sight very quickly; but I cannot say that the first person existed more and the second less.

It doesn’t matter whether a man passes by my window quickly or slowly.

I know definitely that this man existed in the time before I saw him and that he will exist in the time after he has disappeared from my sight.

He who knows that the foundation of this life is spirit is out of danger.

When he closes the gates of his senses at the end of his life, he has no troubles.

—After LAO-TZU

Real life exists outside time and space; therefore, death can change the manifestation of life in this world, but it cannot destroy life itself.

Try to live with the part of your soul which understands eternity, which is not afraid of death.

And that part of your soul is love.

III Signals & Dispatches

AI / ML

@sairahul1 source ↗ Loops are becoming the real coding pattern, with serious builders moving past one shot prompting and making models iterate on their own work.
@alexalbert__source ↗ Anthropic insiders are treating Fable 5 as a step change from tool to collaborator, which matters more than another benchmark screenshot.

Drug Discovery

@tech_vayu source ↗ Isomorphic Labs entering human trials with an AI designed cancer drug is the clearest sign that this field is finally pushing past demos and into the clinic.
@peterottsjo source ↗ Pfizer adding Chai to its AI drug discovery stack says big pharma is still layering specialized models where antibody design speed can actually move the needle.

Biotech

@NEJM source ↗ A new NEJM report on kidney transplantation after CAR T cell therapy is a sharp reminder that cell therapy is still opening doors far beyond oncology.
@robertfsiegmund source ↗ GSK paying $10.6 billion for Nuvalent shows late stage oncology assets still command real premiums when the mechanism and path to market look clean.

Tech

@jukan05 source ↗ China is closing the gap in semiconductor glass substrates on cost and volume, which could turn a niche packaging part into a real supply chain battleground.
@zephyr_z9 source ↗ China still looks cheaper at the one gigawatt compute buildout level even with Nvidia efficiency advantages, though component inflation is eating into that edge.

Japanese Politics

@nhk_news source ↗ The smear video fight around Prime Minister Takaichi is not fading, with the opposition now pushing to call her aide into the Diet as a reference witness.
@asahi source ↗ The LDP is again floating a cut of 45 proportional seats if no deal is reached within a year, so electoral reform is back on the table as a live bargaining chip.

V What Rex Can Do Today

Prepare a one page pre read for today's 基礎研全体Mtg with the likely discussion points and one smart question Boss can raise.
Draft a tight note on what Isomorphic, Chai, and Nuvalent imply for where AI is creating real leverage in biopharma versus where capital is still paying for assets.
Sweep today's meeting related messages and files, then pre draft any short replies or follow ups that would save Boss time before lunch.

VI Toward the Long Game

Build one tiny loop based agent today for literature triage or competitor scanning, because the strongest AI signal this morning is that loops are beating one shot prompting.
Read the Isomorphic and Chai signals with one question in mind: where is AI compressing the cycle in peptide, antibody, or target work, and where is wet lab time still the real bottleneck.
Spend 30 minutes on the Nuvalent and Grace Science stories to sharpen your feel for what biotech markets reward, and what regulation can still choke even when the biology looks real.
