"Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there—like a splinter in your mind—driving you mad."

#10 — MARK LUTTER (@MarkLutter)

Mark Lutter is the founder and Executive Director of the Charter Cities Institute (@CCIdotCity), a nonprofit whose mission is to lift tens of millions of individuals out of poverty by building new cities with new rules.

In this episode, we discussed the CCI’s unique model for city development, why state capacity is in decline, the historical examples of Hong Kong, Dubai & Chicago, how @balajis's network states differ from charter cities, and the recent Nobel prize awarded for the study of institutions and prosperity.

The technical accomplishment is simply amazing, but hearing the team roar with happiness is very moving. Sets the standard for what every company should hope to be.

"I know what you're thinking, cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill?"

"Who cares what's real?"

Could very well be the intellectual poison of our time.

Teenagers tell Keanu nowadays they don't understand why Neo wants to know what's real in the Matrix. I've also heard that more & more people say they would choose to enter Nozick's experience machine.

Question the nature of your reality. Sometimes this is called science. Sometimes philosophy. Acceptance means you're either complacent or a dupe.

The default path is stagnation. Choose abundance.

“So the trick is figuring out what’s next: what hard startups today will produce the enormous companies and categories of the future?”

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

The world is going to keep getting better because people are going to keep making it better.

“There have never been more powerful tools available than there are today, which means that the challenges entrepreneurs can solve, the incumbents they can attack, and the businesses they can build will be bigger than they ever have been.”

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

Technologies are tools. Tools are good.

One explanation for why tech companies will be bigger than they have before is that with more and better tools, they can tackle bigger challenges and take on bigger incumbents.

Better tools, bigger companies.
