How does the law of attraction apply to making 100x investment decisions?

A VC’s framework for investing in the next FAANG companies

Sacred geometry

When reasoning about various seemingly disparate frameworks, you’ll eventually realize convergent patterns about general truths that they ultimately reveal. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Where an individual gravitates in the online social spheres, be it red pill, manosphere, white pills, or anywhere in between, shows you where they currently reside on the self-actualization hierarchy. It is precisely along those axes where I make investment decisions.

One meme (not really a framework but worth noting nonetheless), as Su Zhu alluded to, is the pill hierarchy. At the very bottom of the sentience food chain are the blue pills—or, as the image depicts, the NPCs—thoughtless masses who navigate the world strictly through emotions as if the world were the result of a series of first order effects. Some call them boomers. At the rung just above are the red pills who, as he pointed out, are aware of the current cultural zeitgeist but relate to it begrudgingly or sometimes even resentfully (rooted in the low vibrational level at anger). The next rung up are the black pills who are dissatisfied with reality and believe it is up to them to shift the zeitgeist to one that fits their ideals by criticizing the parts of society that they reject and explaining how things ought to be through the lens of their narrow worldview. The white pills are the Michael Malices who grok the cultural meta at a very high level and make commentary about it as a jester would. Finally, the clear pills are akin to the enlightened ones who perceive things as they are, transcendentally accept reality, and let go of seeking any control over the outcome, knowing full well that the story has already been written by a higher authority.

Likewise, the hippy’s vibrational frequencies, the 9 enneagram types, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and many other such frameworks, reveal a deeper universal fractal. It’s just spoken in different languages that appeal to people of varying cognitions (feelers vs thinkers).

Lowest (disintegrated) to highest (enlightened) vibrational frequencies. H/t to my friend and fellow Milady Cassandra Shi (known for investing in pump.fun) for sharing her secret to investing in 100x founders.

Every person can be typed as one of 9 enneagrams. For each archetype, there are 9 levels of development. For the most part, functioning adults operate at average or healthy levels whereas dysfunctional adults fall under unhealthy levels who are typically either homeless, criminals, or dark triad. Below are generic stages of development that could apply to anyone belonging to one of the 9 types:

Healthy Levels

Level 1 (at their best):

• 500+ vibrational frequency [love, joy, peace, enlightenment]
• Merciful but forbearing, magnanimous, having lasting influence, authentic, having inner-strength/validation, charitable, benevolent, visionary, and making pioneering discoveries. Some can achieve true historical greatness.

Level 2:

• 350–400 vibe [acceptance, reason]
• Resourceful, assertive, strong, self-assured, perceptive, insightful, inspiring, focused, purposeful about finding their way, and produce extremely valuable and original works.

Level 3:

• 250-310 [neutrality, willingness]
• Lead others, take initiative, honorable, carrying others through their strength, ambitious, highly effective, skillful mastery, innovative, and inventive.

Average Levels

Level 4:

• 175-200 [pride, courage]
• Enterprising, pragmatic, optimizing for performance, concerned with optics/their appearance, can challenge accepted ways of doing things.

Level 5:

• 150 [anger]
• Boastful, proud, egocentric, image-conscious, premeditated, problems with intimacy, detached from reality, and high strung.

Level 6:

• 125 [desire]
• Confrontational, combative, narcissistic, grandiose, take an antagonistic stance toward anything which would interfere with their inner world. Become abrasive, cynical, intentionally extreme and argumentative to reinforce their radical views.

Unhealthy Levels

Level 7:

• 75-100 [grief, fear]
• Con-artist, hard-hearted, immoral, fearing failure, covetous of the success of others. Can become reclusive and nihilistic.

Level 8:

• 30–50 [apathy, guilt]
• Delusions of grandeur, sabotage others, devious, deceptive, obsessive about their own threatening ideas.

Level 9:

• 20 [shame]
• Sociopathic, vengeful, anti-social, vindictive, psychopathic, schizophrenic, menacing stirrer of chaos, attempting to ruin others’ lives, or seeking oblivion.

Again, Maslow’s hierarchy reiterates this pattern of the self-actualization journey through the language of fundamental human needs, starting at the base needs of the physical to the ascended needs of the transcendental.

“The Universal Law of Attraction says you attract what you are vibrating.”

If the Law of Attraction states that you will attract what you are, then if you want access to better deals, to gain more users/followers, to attract the ideal mate, or anything in between, then it must follow that you yourself must work to ascend the hierarchical fractals.

When doing due diligence on founders and the projects they lead, a good rule of thumb is to assess where they fall on the above axes. A project whose founder(s) falls in the red zone is pretty much uninvestable. But if you find those few who fall under the zone of happy clouds and grassy knolls, then chances are, you’ll do very well.
