It is hard to describe how much you learn by actually doing — by carefully considering all factors, making a decision, and then taking responsibility for the outcome. Unlocks wisdom that cannot be arrived at any other way.

Setting aside the obvious hill to climb, who’s investing to help the energy companies to start electrifying their own production?

[Matthew Mahoney @mpm]

Do companies have the power to move the needle on global emissions? A power law says yes. A 2017 report by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) found that 100 carbon fuel producers generate 71% of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988.

[Matthew Mahoney @mpm]

The top 10 drive 30% of all emissions, next 90 drive the remaining 70%. Industrial producers comprise about 30% of global emissions. Much of it driven by the energy they consume during production. 10 companies can meaningfully impact 9-10% (30% * 30%) of global emissions.

@albertwenger Learned a lot from this, @albertwenger. Thanks. Has anyone started pre-foak “ghost kitchens” yet, if feasible, or is each manufacturing need truly unique even in the prototype stage?

Important especially today to remember. Ruling through coercion is a choice, not a law of nature as autocrats will persuade you to believe. A choice that invariably leads to horrific consequences.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

23 February 1943 | SS guards transferred 39 prisoners (13 to 17 years old) from Auschwitz II-Birkenau to #Auschwitz I and placed them in Block 20, one of the infirmary buildings. In the evening of this day, they were all killed with phenol injections. 1/4

What if the most important question is how to be kind (to others and to yourself) more consistently?

This is among the best things you can read in 10 minutes. Your top regrets will likely be failures of kindness

@HelenaMiton @FrancesFrei, really good and fascinating work here by Helena on the transmission of culture. Highly relevant to unleashed. Already curious to explore its applicability within teams and orgs…

[Matthew Mahoney @mpm]

@HelenaMiton @HelenaMiton thank you. This is thoughtful and super interesting.

"Cultural forms persist not because they get reproduced with high fidelity—but because they’re often copied wrongly.”…localized, made even more relevant.

[Santa Fe Institute @sfiscience]

"When studying culture, one of the key questions scientists ask is about continuity: Why do people do the same things, in roughly similar ways, over long periods of time?"

To build a business, talk to customers. To build a company, talk to the team. This is the way.

“Everyone is winging it. Yes, experts too. What we call expertise is nothing but a mix of self-deception, ruthless focus, pattern matching ability, and just enough training data.”

There are many systemic problems to work out. And it's an incredible time to be alive. I'm still floored by the privilege of standing on the shoulders of who came before us. Hafez. Claudette Colvin. Newton. Ada Lovelace. Mary Oliver. RBG. Scott Joplin...we are them, they are us.

[Matthew Mahoney @mpm]

Your soul sometimes plays a note
Against the Sky's ear that excites
The birds and planets.
Stay close to any sounds
That make you glad you are alive.

“We’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished...

It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit. It’s the past we step into and how we repair it.

For there is always light...If only we’re brave enough to be it."
