In 1949 an epidemiologist, made the first correlations between cardiovascular health and exercise.
Jogging didn’t become normalized until Bill Bowerman from @Nike wrote a book about it.
I hope we look back at planning and financial maintenance the same way.
@Robert_A_Berger Or they used AI to game plan the negotiations and convinced the buyer that vision wasn’t enough…
Or it’s supply and demand and the bidders believe it’s a zero sum game -first to AGI rules the world so $100M doesn’t matter.
@Shpigford@maybe Hi @Shpigford sorry to lose someone smart building in this space and appreciate your tough decision. It’s a grind and not simple or easy.
If we can be helpful to any of your users please let me know.
Good luck with your B2B approach.
Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann on why he chose Montessori for his daughter:
"If this were 10-20 years ago, I'd be lining her up for top-tier schools and extracurriculars. But now I don't think any of it's going to matter. Learning facts is going to fade into the background. What matters is that she's happy, thoughtful, curious, and kind."
Worth reading - messing with universities, discouraging the best and brightest from wanting to build in the US, breaking down partnerships with our allies is making us weaker not stronger.

@nntaleb A couple of thoughts
1) not sure the analogy makes sense - you have time and often human capital to adjust during retirement
2) check out Die With Zero - many people want to balance the utility of their human capital (enjoy life) with being their wealthiest in their 80s/90s
@signulll Who could do this?
- Zuck
- Elon
- Bezos
- Sergey
- Gates
And one who did. Takes a founder with god level money and the right time / risk appetite.
US graduates are struggling to find a job:
The unemployment rate among new college graduates has averaged 6.6% over the last 12 months, the highest in a decade, outside of 2020.
The jobless rate for people aged 20 to 24 who are looking for work and have at least a bachelor’s degree has risen by ~1.3 percentage points in 3 years.
By comparison, the nationwide unemployment rate stands much lower, at 4.2%.
Furthermore, the unemployment among college grads aged 22 to 27 averaged 5.8% in Q1 2025, according to the NY Fed.
As a result, the unemployment gap between young graduates and the general population is now the largest in ~35 years.
Graduates are facing an unemployment crisis.
