Our future will emerge from the words we speak, thoughts we entertain and [in]actions we take.

There is a simple solution to every complicated problem. Don’t depend on it. Instead, build an arsenal of simple solutions.

There is a simple solution to every complicated problem. A simple explanation to a complex issue. A simple path to a complicated destination.

But by tomorrow, the problem still exists.

@_Sparling_ This is similar to why I wrote this some years ago.

@elonmusk @engineering Can you please stop penalizing links so much? They're some of the most informative and entertaining content here.

One of the most valuable things you can do for people is to tell them about something interesting they didn't know about. Links are often the best way to do that.

@naval Most people want something else. But you aren't most people.

Are you?

There are false dichotomies everywhere. Once we see them, we can’t unsee them.

"The most important things that matter at the pre-seed stage — character, execution, substance, emotional intelligence, creativity, cunning—none of them can be credibly communicated in a single meeting or on a transcript."

These things matter even beyond the pre-seed stage.

This is not for everyone. This is for people who live well by opening themselves up to wonder and curiosity.

It's easier to say “I don't have time, because I'm too busy” than the truer alternative: “this isn't a priority for me now”, or “I don't care enough to attend to this.”

There's always time.

What do NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft, modular arithmetic, and some medical errors have in common?

“I don’t agree with you, and that’s final” isn’t the best way to show divergence. Instead, make it clear and let us see where things are yet to add up.

@anuatluru Noticing when the game is at play is an exercise in seeing others, and seeing yourself. Know what you have decided to sacrifice when you choose to accept (or extend) the invitation to play. Some games only have one winner, if any. There is a high chance it isn't you.
