The World Trade Center towers stood for 56 and 102 minutes after being struck on September 11 2001 - long enough for approximately 17,400 people to evacuate - because their tube-frame structural design distributed load effectively even after severe damage to the core.

The buildings were not designed to survive this scenario, but the engineers who designed them built in enough structural redundancy that the towers gave thousands of people time to escape.

Tragic incident in Visakhapatnam 💔

An LKG student, Pranay Tej, reportedly collapsed and d!ed after allegedly being beaten by his teacher for not completing his homework.

The child became frightened, started crying and coughing, and collapsed.

His family later protested outside the school after viewing the CCTV footage. 🙏

Adam Walker was being stalked by a shark during a 16-mile ocean swim when a pod of dolphins surrounded him and stayed by his side for over an hour.

The encounter happened in New Zealand's Cook Strait in 2014, with the dolphins remaining alongside the British endurance swimmer until the shark swam away.

Walker went on to complete the crossing in 8 hours and 36 minutes as part of his quest to finish the Oceans Seven marathon swim challenge while raising money for Whale and Dolphin Conservation.

Before we had silicon chips, we had needle and thread.

In the 1960s, NASA didn’t ‘upload’ code; they sewed it.

To get Apollo 11 to the moon, skilled weavers (often called ‘Little Old Ladies’) literally hand-stitched software into physical objects.

The faster technology moves, the more I think about Bezos' question

What won't change in the next 10 years?

Things I've been writing down over time:

- Humans will always need shelter, food, energy, and healthcare.
- The desire for ownership and the accumulation of wealth.
- The physical world will move more slowly than the digital one.
- Every increase in technological capability, especially AI, will require more energy.
- People and businesses will continue to need access to capital.
- Capital will continue to seek returns that exceed inflation.
- Underwriting methods evolve, but demand for credit (loans) is persistent.
- Trust remains scarce and becomes increasingly valuable as content, code, and fraud become cheaper.
- Verified identities and reputation becomes more important as information becomes abundant and synthetic.
- Long-term wealth creation and dynastic (multi-generational) thinking predate modern technology, and will persist.
- Coordination and transaction costs never fully disappear; market friction will continue to justify the existence of firms and intermediaries.
- People will continue to compete for status.
- Consumers will pay a premium for products and services that confer status.
- Time remains fixed at 24 hours per day.
- But attention is a finite resource and an enduring constraint.
- Products that credibly save time (or enable delegation) have a perpetual market.
- Inaccessible, proprietary data will be a persistent moat. The more inaccessible and difficult to aggregate, the deeper the moat.
- People want accountability, recourse, and clearly identifiable responsibility when things go wrong.
- Regulation consistently lags technological innovation.
- Compliance requirements, licensing, and regulatory moats persist even when machines can perform the underlying task.
- Local knowledge remains valuable and difficult to replicate.
- Heterogeneous markets (like real estate) continue to reward people with deep contextual understanding.
- Incumbent organizations tend to underinvest in disrupting their own businesses, which always creates opportunities for challengers.

Bezos' insight on what wouldn't change in 10 years was "Customers will always want lower prices and faster delivery."

It's boring/ true, but I think that's the point.

Everything we build today can and will be rebuilt more cheaply, faster by someone else.

Build on the invariants, not the trends.

What have I missed?
