Lost Titan: Adventure Has Limits, and That Limit Is Science
"In 2023, a manned submersible imploded near the Titanic wreckage, killing all five onboard. Netflix’s recent documentary about this tragedy reveals a sobering truth: the disaster was inevitable due to the founder’s disregard for scientific data, legal loopholes, and refusal to seek third-party safety certifications. Ocean exploration demands respect for science—calculations can fail even under the best circumstances, let alone when ignored."
IMO: Let Science Be Science
Historical events like the Titan submersible implosion and the Challenger disaster underscore a critical lesson: in engineering and science, honesty and facts outweigh PR spin because nature cannot be deceived. Policies involving scientific data should prioritize evidence over politics.

Why Is Labubu So Popular Lately? The Answer Isn’t About the Doll Itself
"Labubu’s viral success stems from a mix of Chinese capital speculation, Gen Z unboxing trends on TikTok, and celebrity endorsements (like Lisa’s IG post). Its ‘ugly-cute’ aesthetic resonates with anti-mainstream youth culture, proving that new IPs thrive when they merge cultural fusion, capital momentum, and artistic authenticity."
IMO: Build Your Own Anti-Mainstream IP
To create a standout personal brand:
- Embrace contradictions (e.g., quirky yet profound).
- Encourage co-creation (engage your community).
- Infuse cultural roots (e.g., Labubu’s East-West blend).
- Craft compelling narratives (give characters depth).
"I’m One of the Worst NBA Players. But You? You’re Way Worse Than Me!"
"Pro athletes dominate amateurs not just through skill but ruthless focus. Kobe’s mindset: ‘Your ultimate training can’t match my daily routine.’ For creators, the lesson is relentless prioritization—cut everything outside your core theme (e.g., ‘marketing + book reviews + wellness’ is too scattered)."
IMO: Integrate Products into Customer Lifestyles
Deeply understanding user contexts lets you design solutions that fit seamlessly into their routines. For example, our Creator Economy IMO newsletter targets commuters with concise, actionable insights for their 10-minute morning reads.
Living in Taipei Isn’t Easy
"With a $1,300 rent on a $4,000 salary, saving $800/month for investments (like gold) is tight. Media often hype trendy assets, but savvy investing means buying when others aren’t looking—not FOMO-ing at peaks."
IMO: Buy When Unnoticed, Sell When Everyone’s Talking
Avoid media-driven hype cycles. Undervalued opportunities often hide in plain sight.

Editor’s Note: On-Chain Data Insights
The Investor Tool (by Philip Swift) maps Bitcoin’s current position—ice-cold lows or overheated peaks. While it flagged 2013/2017 tops, it missed 2021’s peak. Always cross-check with other indicators.
Key Metrics:
| Indicator | Significance |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------|
| 2-Year MA | Long-term baseline for undervaluation |
| 5x MA | Signal of potential overvaluation |
