The events of the last 6 months in technology are arguable amongst the most important in human history
The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents
We are likely in very early lift off & exponential
Largely unnoticed outside of tech
Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.
A reader on day one, on Incorruptible:
"Profit is the maximization of human flourishing. That framing stopped me cold."
Day two of having this in the world.
.@ericries generously gifted me an advanced copy of Incorruptible. I’m both speed reading and taking my sweet time with it. So many gems and worth the purchase.
Eric has gone deep with 5 Whys root cause analysis of why things are the way they are… and how to address it.
Congrats @ericries on the launch of your new and important book.
A few comments from my chat with Eric about the book:
- "One of the greatest podcasts of this and last year."
- "This is one of the most important videos on the internet right now."
- "This should be required listening before anyone is allowed to do anything at work."
- "I was never going to listen to a 1.5 hour podcast, even if it's Lenny's, but it's Eric Ries, so I gave it a shot. Here I am, 45 minutes in."

Michigan is now the highest rated National Champion in the history of
KenPom ratings.
