@a1expark Facts—shi is ahh

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological progress — valuable in itself — requires careful discernment of the anthropological vision that guides it and the ends it pursues. If technological development advances without a corresponding ethical and social progress, the result may be an increase in means without a growth in humanity: “having more” without “being more.” There is a risk that individuals will be evaluated principally according to the outcomes they produce. #MagnificaHumanitas

Talking to customers > Everything else

A founder just apologized for dialing in to office hours from a car. It’s the sixth time he’s done this.

He spends close to 100% of his time meeting customers in unglamorous places a long way from San Francisco.

I wish more founders did this.

@a1expark And I think a big part of that is the relative safety/security of being in one of these spaces where demand is always there leads to a lack of innovation/complacency in those spaces. Disrupters abound—eg very bullish on the modernization of the funeral home industry

@a1expark Ex. Chegg had great consistent demand. Every school year a new batch of kids come in needing help w/ hw. Crushes it…until a technological advancement (in this case both logistical and societal with AI) makes their entire business model irrelevant.

[Brad @BradleyKellard]

In 2023, Stanford professor Graham Weaver gave his last lecture on how to destroy fear & live a wildly ambitious life.

His frameworks:

- Suffering is inevitable
- Signup for "10 years" test
