This piece makes many good points. The US is in decline, people are in denial, and China is ascending economically.

But China doesn’t represent universal values. That’s why Crypto Capital may ultimately outcompete both Woke Capital & Communist Capital.

Vox, among the most anti-technology publications now

Starlink is opening up the world to access to the Internet, connecting billions and making more of the planet connected, but the sky NIMBYs are upset

How is one guy this brilliant?

The fact that none of the mob attacking @antoniogm want to admit is that the things he wrote in his book are true

You don’t need mentors, you need action.

Currently state funded universities are unfairly capturing the value created by graduate student researchers. If the private sector can crack this so much value could be created. Huge economic growth potential

[Sam Altman @sama]

Giving 10 years of “tenure” to a group of 20 super promising 22 year old researchers finishing up undergrad is not that expensive relative to the value it would likely create, and there seem like a bunch of ways to capture a part of it.

Looking for the best yacht captain in Bay Area who wants a 1-year contract, that will beat whatever they are getting paid, to drive 5-10 passengers in my 120ft

#microcruise

If you know this captain, refer them & we hire them, I will give you a $2k West Marine gift card

Naval is legitimately one of the two or three smartest people on twitter

[Naval @naval]

The larger the group, the worse the conversation.

[Jack Falcon @WhoisJackfalcon]

Exactly. Naval once again gets if

@tomcoates @bobbie @annapickard @cjmartin @mikekuniavsky Thanks for sharing Tom, will follow @cjmartin for sure, amazing growth hacking / product mind

[Jack Falcon @WhoisJackfalcon]

so true

[Micah Rosenbloom @micahjay1]

I should put this on repeat but the founders and leaders who come through this period are going to have the grit, experience and competence to lead the next generation of companies in a truly profound way. That's the silver lining here perhaps.

[Jack Falcon @WhoisJackfalcon]

Wow this is brilliant and timely

[brett goldstein @thatguybg]

Translated @paulg's "startups in 13 sentences" for the Tik Tok generation!

Might have missed one tho 😅

What should I translate next?

I had long suspected that the reason for the NYT's sharp leftward shift was that highly partisan articles drive subscriber signups, but this is the first confirmation I've seen from inside the business.

Sam nails it as always

[Sam Altman @sama]

Politics has replaced religion.

(Obviously not for everyone, but for a lot of people.)
