@CoffeeBlackMD Lack of trust in the system and colleagues guides a lot of my convos with patients and care planning.

@parmita The patriarchy is falling and loser men can’t handle it. You are beautiful, stand tall and proud on the shoulders of those women before you. The future is female and that’s fine - hope and pray y’all find a better way.

@parmita Ambition is a lonely endeavor! You got this!

So what are you going to do @chamath ?

This isn’t just a $META issue. It’s increasingly an issue for all of Tech. Because even within Tech, there is an emerging divide between AI-superpowered engineer/PM/sales folks and everyone else.

And we know how that will end: Smaller orgs, bigger payoffs but then the riches distributed across even fewer players that it is today. And everyone sees it coming. Hence the rot from the outside and, now, the inside.

To my peers and to the super entrepreneurs who are far more successful than me:

This is why elites in tech that “have made it” are increasingly the ones that EVERYONE hates. We’ve not distinguished the difference between luck and skill that got us here. We don’t act as stewards in the broadest sense of the term. We aren’t bringing society along like other generations of super successful business people have. We don’t pay it forward in any meaningful way - although we have clever ways to make it look like we do. Mostly, people see us hording all the gains.

Modern technology companies have essentially created a new form of indentured servitude for the educated masses where SBC was used to pay you an incredible living wage so you don’t go work “for the other guy”. But what does it mean to make $500k/yr if you still leak 55% to taxes then your landlord takes the next 25% for rent?? You still can’t buy a house in SV. These folks are on an eternal hamster wheel. It turns out it’s not much different than being in middle America making $55k.

Hate or love @elonmusk, but he is the main reason the US jumpstarted its space program/@NASA and #Artemis even happened!

@jmills1955 Anyone that understands technology knows that privacy is effectively a political talking point. We crossed that chasm long ago, there is no privacy.
