Philosophy asks questions.
Science answers them.
Technology gives it life.
Business brings it to your hands.

At Arrowow .com we are testing a hypothesis. Can we create stories in public? Collaboratively.

Written by, Directed by, Created by, funded by and Owned creators. Together! Github for Stories.

Sherlock Holmes is now in the public domain. What should happen in the next episode?

@Herculesmind @Olympics I think the only reasonable argument here is if Ali or Maradona was born many decades later and had the exact same spirit, born talent, work ethic and the attitude. Combined with the technological advancements today; there is a case to be made on them being better.

@rajeshbmore @KevinSzabo14 First one is not a scam mate. The platform has expenses to operate. Employees to pay. Either you pay or advertisers do.

3 Levels of Knowledge.
Knowing, understanding and realising.
First require the least effort and about memory. Second require a deep knowledge and analysis. Third just come to you after years of practice.

@apurvahendi @paulg It's like being in Hogwarts and asking why you should learn any magic. You can sit down and create almost anything that you can imagine and let the entire world use it to make their lives better. Programming for me is the closest to a magic wand that I'll ever get to wield.

@george__mack What do you mean by this one? I have it too? Why do you think it is apart from travel fatigue.
Whenever I travel, I feel awful the next day.

@ITStudiosi @HarvardBiz They select how many hours they work. When and from where. They get exposure to the work.
It doesn't add value to my business. I'm helping their career.
Not every business owner is trying to take advantage of people. It's hard to chat when that is your starting assumption.

You can find a better/faster/cheaper way of drilling holes without an expensive drill. Or you can invent a photo frame that doesn't require a nail. Or you can find a better way to make people feel good.
Deeper you go, bigger the problem. Higher the impact. #firstprinciples

People don't buy a drill,they buy a hole in the wall.
People don't buy a hole in the wall they want a nail in the wall.
People don't want a nail in the wall they want a picture hanged in the wall.
People don't just want the picture in the wall they want to... cont...

The deeper you go in this customer 's true motivations hierarchy, the more unique or transformative products that you can create that can fundamentally change how humans behave.
You can create a better drill that makes it easier to drill holes or ... cont...

@auctionrogers @naval Is that scalable though? Genuine question

@gunsnrosesgirl3 You don't understand what unlimited knowledge is. By knowing the movement of every molecule in the universe, you can start manipulating it. You can snap your fingers and kill half the population. Time and money are meek concepts to a omniscient being. They are THE god.

@IndpndntObsrvr @tunguz Good luck with that. There are not enough forests in earth to do that. Unless of course you mean human hunting. Then that makes sense. (Ominous music)
