Multiple things can be true at once: You want to build a big business but don't want to get on the VC treadmill. You are ambitious and want to have a life outside of work. You want to build generational wealth and also be present at dinner with your kids. You want to grow…
You should strive to have *more* attachments, not fewer. You should have responses to the world and want to change it until its better.

@SFMTA_Muni 💰 The economic theory behind taxes is that we should tax things we don’t want. Like Carbon emissions. Dangerous drivers. Or cigarettes. Robot cars will eventually herald the metered usage of our roads(pay for what you use) - which will be great! But right now, if you think…
You should work with my friend Aleem, he's awesome!
As a Swede, I approve of this tweet.
This is a fascinating corner case of the financial system. Muslims can't pay interest so mortgages have to be structured differently (fees instead of interest)... but that means they aren't eligible for the interest deduction, unless the government special cases the tax code to…

Scale is quite valuable, but the costs are usually hidden. Consolidation leads to monoculture, it reduces the stock of unique ferments. Culture, taste, and invention are often bottom-up phenomena. They require the opposite of scale. They require distance, and working alone.

I want to set up a small charity that donates macbooks to teenagers/students. Anyone got suggestions on the best platform to use to manage all the admin/compliance?
@PeterDiamandis Perhaps because making the world a better place is hard. Making it a lot better and not backfire is very very hard and very error-prone (pace Effective Altruism). Requires a lot of creativity. Whereas keeping money invested much more reliably helps people improve the world.
Each part independently creates value: Training people explicitly on fundamentals. Making real game rules, and writing them down, for that training, and making play a wide experience in employee base. Making the game run on a computer/phone. Releasing it externally.
And if you’re not competent to design a game there is some number that gets Factorio reskinned for you, and it is probably lower than you’d think.
