Bitcoin is an exit from the Fed.

DeFi is an exit from Wall Street.

Social media is an exit from mass media.

Homeschooling is an exit from industrial education.

Remote work is an exit from 9-5.

Creator economy is an exit from employment.

Individuals are leaving institutions.

* tech stock goes up 10x in the middle of an economic pandemic
* upon news of a vaccine tech stock down 20%

Tech investors: “This is stupid. The market is overreacting.”

[Gagan Biyani 🏛 @gaganbiyani]

I've teared up multiple times thinking about this.

First black. First Indian. First female. Vice President.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

Employees at every single company I talk to are stressed out and exhausted. Mental health is probably at an all-time low. The reasons are probably obvious.

What is working to help? What do your companies do that works?

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

US Higher Ed is bankrupt.

1. It costs too much and leaves people massively in debt.

2. People aren’t taught anything useful and are left without great job prospects.

3. It has created a monoculture of scared rule followers vs independent thinkers.

We need to break the cycle.

[Gagan Biyani 🏛 @gaganbiyani]

I’ve been thinking about co-founders a lot lately.

In 15 years of building companies, I’ve had >10 different co-founders.

They’ve fired me. I’ve fired them. But I’m still friends with 100% of them to this day.

Soon, we won’t be able to tell the difference between a Workday, Workplace or Workspace.

[Naval @naval]

You don’t need mentors, you need action.

[Hiten Shah @hnshah]

Don’t get so caught up in learning that it slows down your doing.

[Jeff Morris Jr. @jmj]

Never seen a pitch deck graph that isn't a hockey stick 🏒

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

Founders and investors sometimes ask me for my views on HR software. Five years into Lattice, here are my general thoughts:

[Austen Allred @Austen]

Wow 👁 👄 👁 just successfully monetized fomo.

That’s the most incredible stunt I’ve ever seen.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

One of the biggest things lost in remote work is chance meetings. These are very important, but hard to quantify. If you measure productivity on individual projects, everything will seem fine. Yet when you read stories of how things happened, chance meetings were often crucial.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." -- Desmond Tutu

[Balaji @balajis]

It shouldn’t be tech companies per se getting into fact checking.

It should be open source technology.

Free, universally available code and data for epistemology.

Take a piece of text, parse it, extract assertions, compare to explicitly specified knowledge graphs and oracles.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

I estimate that the world has gotten back 2,500,000 hours per day of time by not having to try and find the available conference room when scheduling a meeting.

[Aaron Levie @levie]

I suspect if Zoom had a “paywall” feature, there would probably be $100B+ in economic activity overnight. Cooking lessons, church services, concerts, music lessons, yoga, and more. Who’s building this?
