The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

If you want to market in Africa, learn from the churches. Every successful marketing effort follows the church principle.

1. Local branches
2. Local 'pastors' who earn well and market locally

3. Collect variable tithe - small from the poor, big from the rich
4. Engage your biggest advocates & empower them to do more outreach
5. Sell the vision and make your product part of people's identity
6. Transition to online & apps to reach more people and spread.

The truth is that everything starts from the top. What determines your failure or success is your style of leadership and the chain of command that you design.

It takes only 20 hours of focused effort to get decent at anything. The problem is, people wait years before they start their first hour.

To learn requires a sense of humility. We must admit that there are people out there who know our field much more deeply than we do. Their superiority is not a function of natural talent or privilege but rather of time and experience.

When a startup is competing against a large competitor, they aren't competing with the *entire* company, they are likely competing with some PM focused on internal politics/career progression.

With this framing, it shouldn't be surprising to see startups win as often as they do.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

In order to master a field, you must love the subject and feel a profound connection to it. Your interest must transcend the field itself and border on the religious.
