Math Just Predicted the Next Pope?!


Wild but true—scientists used pure math to uncover who’d become the next Pope… and they nailed it.


Leonardo Rizzo and his team at Bocconi University mapped the Vatican’s real power networks—looking past titles and into hidden alliances, mentorships, and influence flows.


Here’s what they found:

➡️ Power hides in relationships – Not job titles. Using tools like eigenvector and betweenness centrality, they revealed the Church’s true influencers.

➡️ They called it – Their network model flagged Robert Prevost before anyone else. He’s now Pope Leo XIV.

➡️ The Church is shifting – A global, soft-liberal cluster is rising, reshaping Vatican geopolitics.

➡️ No AI involved – Just hardcore math. Network science is becoming the secret weapon for understanding real-world power.

🔍 Why this matters: Whether it’s religion, business, or politics—science can decode hidden influence. Power isn’t about rank. It’s about the web you weave.

What if Hollywood took a wrong turn… straight into a 90s post-Soviet bazar?

AI just dropped this alternate universe - leather jacket mobsters, fake Rolexes and "French Perfume", and all.

From blockbuster sets to bootleg tapes, welcome to the hustle.

What the first 100 days in DC tell us about the future of venture.

Just finished reviewing NVCA’s latest policy briefing — and it’s clear: the decisions being made in Washington right now will shape how we build and fund innovation for years to come.

Quick takeaways for founders and VCs:

▪️ Taxes: Carried interest is back on the table. QSBS and R&D expensing could be collateral damage unless the fight holds.
▪️ Capital Markets: Push to modernize Demo Days and make IPOs more accessible. Early fund managers could finally catch a break.
▪️ AI Policy: A 90-day sprint to shape regulation is underway. The U.S. needs top talent — and immigration reform is a big missing piece.
▪️ Defense & Security: More screening, more restrictions. National security is rising fast on the venture radar.
▪️ Healthcare + Climate: Cuts coming for NIH and Medicaid, but new doors opening around FDA streamlining and IRA credits for clean tech.

If you’re in venture, now’s the time to pay attention. Policy isn’t a sideshow — it’s part of the operating environment.
