A lot of people still don’t understand the level of brutality that was carried on by the Police against the citizens of a country it was supposed to protect
The tears in my eyes as I write this,watching the videos of the events of end sars protests in 2020/10/20
A country failed
There are 10x more potential Elons and Zucks out there than Silicon Valley believes.
The common narrative is that progress is rate-limited by a scarcity of legendary founders. "If only we had more Elons, more Zucks, more Sergeys..." Implicit in this is that these founders are so cosmically rare that we're essentially waiting for lightning to strike.
I think this is completely, totally wrong.
Elon wasn't obviously Elon before PayPal. Zuck was a 19-year-old kid in a dorm room. The legends became legends because they were in the right environment at the right time with the right support.
The real question isn't "where do we find more unicorn founders?" It's "how do we create the conditions where exceptional people can discover they're capable of building something massive?"
Silicon Valley is actually great at this—if you're already here, already in the network, already look the part. The system works. It's just too small.
Most of the ecosystem is optimized for selection, not cultivation. For picking winners, not creating them. The unlock isn't identifying the 10 best founders per year more accurately. It's expanding the pool by 10x.
This belief is a core reason I helped start SPC. The scarcity isn't in human potential. It's in our imagination about where to look.
As people build better systems,they build worst systems
it’s essentially a self balancing equation of better and worse,just with the end points changing
If my memory is 8 bits, it means I can represent one value using 8 binary switches.
Those switches together allow me to represent 256 different possible values, which can stand for numbers, letters, or counts, depending on the agreed interpretation

At the end of the day, people deserve to be rewarded fairly for the value they help create. You don’t get to build a movement and product on their backs and then dismiss them when it’s convenient to you
So to turn around and label them as “net -EV” as if they’re some sort of drain on the system(when we all know who the actual drain is)is not only inappropriate,but short sighted, The entire ecosystem functions because people respond to incentives. That’s what drives loyalty
