the peak of philanthropy done by women is those who take half their successful husband's money and fund absolute shit.
something to aspire to!
My biggest hope right now is for another billionaire woman to free herself and devote a lot of the fortune to supporting womenโs causes, democracy and saving the planet ๐๐๐ค
Agree that 60-80 hrs/week is about the sweet spot. It's intense (in my case spread over 6 days), but also sustianable over long periods of time.
It allows for 8-hours of sleep, 1-hour of exercise per day, time with friends and family, other hobbies, etc.
GFY
Propaganda bullshit. Expected, I suppose, from a Nashi propagandist.
I have 3 miniature humans that aren't my hobby - they're my entire raison d'รชtre. To say nothing of my delightful wife that I greatly enjoy spending as much time with as possible.
Every single late night at the office, business dinner, investor event/retreat, trip to a supplier, visit to a customer, etc is a direct trade-off against my being an involved and present father (and husband). It's a difficult balance! And yet I've done it.
The real talk side of the "hustle culture" bullshit that nobody talks about is how your work output falls off a cliff around ~60 hours. Maybe a bit more if you're super young, but I doubt it. In most cases, that 80th hour at your desk is performative - it's theater.
Balanced lives (whether it's raising kids, sailing, tinkering on hobby cars, fitness, whatever) directly lead to balanced thinking and a FAR more sustainable lifestyle than "all work no play."
And, more importantly, it models for your employees that balance is actually good for output, morale, retention, etc.
Building big, impactful companies is a marathon. An ultra marathon. 10 years of marathons back to back. Your mind (and body) do need to actually rest and restore, or else you burn out. Fact of life.
Nonsense claims like this are propaganda from the (typically) VC crowd who want to see MOAR HOURS as if that makes PMF happen, under the misguided belief that hours in linearly equals company value out.
Have hobbies. Have kids. Take a vacation with your partner. And also work hard to build your company. The balance is difficult to find, but very doable.
It's so funny to me how prevalent the "Chinese Spy gf" meme is and then they go out and actually just get the most powerful, relevant, and important person in AI lmao.
>my impression is that people in parts of Asia would be considerably less scandalized by this sort of thing
"cheating" in asian male business culture is not scandal.
The first time I went to china for work as a junior employee at a not-so-important tech company this happened to me.
there no blackmail or anything to be had on me or my company. only "kompromat" would be a video of me having sweaty sex with two cute chinese girls.
I know a guy who was head of the Chinese subsidiary for not a major US company but a company you probably know their products.
He got invited to a major vendor conference with other clients. After the dinner the Chinese company brought in girls to sing. After they were done, his Chinese counterpart asked "which one?"
He responded politely they were all great. His country part asked, no which girl do you want. My friend indicated no thanks none thank you. His counter part waived his hand and five more girls walked in. Surely we can find you a girl you like
If you have has any real interaction with China, they have tried to honey pot you. This is simply standard operating practice
Women should be lesbians if they want. I had a mini โam I a lesbian phase?โ Dating Asian men had made me very confused so I explored women (wasnโt impressed with women in the end).
White gym bros are just top-tier, I fear.

Instagram suggested follows need to CHILL!!!
My friend slept with a girl. They didn't share insta and have no mutuals. She must have looked him up / he has her # and she showed up in his suggested follows
Then maybe bc I'm tagged on one of his posts, she maybe clicked on my profile and then she showed up in my suggested follows. Heinous!!
