@ArthurKolchak even if tomorrow god-like aliens arrive and tell us the purpose of life is farming, we'd not stop using AI to, erm, fulfill earthly desires

"A lot of people liked the Lean Startup, but no one ever said it made them cry."

In 16 days, @EricRies's new book Incorruptible comes out.

It's about why you can taste it when your favorite restaurant gets bought by a PE firm, why even Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, and why over 80% of founders get fired within 3 years of taking their company public.

In our real-talk conversation, we discuss:
🔸 "Financial gravity": the force that predictably pushes successful companies into mediocrity
🔸 The Groupon email death spiral every public company eventually runs
🔸 "It is always too early to protect your company. Until it's too late."
🔸 The "governance fortress" Anthropic, Costco, and Patagonia all have—and your company probably doesn't
🔸 Three things founders can do this week to protect their company long-term.

HANTAVIRUS SITUATION SUMMARY

The Andes-strain hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship is tragic. But I estimate a <1% chance this becomes a pandemic. It is on track to self-extinguish within weeks.

This outbreak fits the well-characterized 30-year epidemiology of Andes virus. Transmission requires very close, prolonged contact (e.g. a shared bed or intimate caregiving). It does not work with mere airborne exposure like the coronavirus. This severely limits the potential for this to spread and become a pandemic. R0 in casual-contact settings is effectively zero; in intimate-contact settings it appears to be modestly above 1 but not self-sustaining once contact patterns break.

No Andes outbreak has historically produced sustained chains beyond close-contact networks. The largest documented event is the 2018–19 Epuyén outbreak with 34 cases, 11 deaths, traced through identifiable contact chains, then over.

Cruise ships are unusually efficient amplifiers of shared-air, shared-surface, shared-meal pathogens. Likely one (or two) rodent-acquired index cases from Patagonia, then a small fan-out among cabin-sharing close contacts, with no evidence of transmission outside that pattern. Furthermore, every passenger and crew member is known + tracked.

The bad news is that the case fatality is genuinely high (~35–50%) with no antiviral available. Very dangerous for those exposed.

@avstorm I simply want to know how to turn it off

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

women moved left while men stayed sane because social media algorithms optimized for emotional reactions while society implemented more censorship policies

women are more emotional and reactive (higher neuroticism across every culture studied), so they got captured while men largely ignored the feeds (or got captured by different things: porn, gambling, video games, manosphere)

smartphones and social media built a culture where shock, outrage, and emotional bait won every engagement war and obviously women responded to it harder than men.
facebook 2006, iphone 2007, instagram 2010 all coincide with more female leftism. teenage girl's mental health collapse closely correlates with this too

the algorithms weren't designed to capture women but attention, and it ended up capturing the half more sensitive to consensus pressure first.

women also complain more, and in a feminized society complaints carry institutional weight. universities, HR, media, education, healthcare etc, every institution they enter bends toward what they feel. censor any disagreement that seems "mean" and you get an algorithmically captured society.

so they live in a made-up reality where everything validates their collectivism, their victimhood and their certainty that anyone who disagrees is evil (the TV and the movies and the media say so, so it must be true). four years of college, then thirty years inside institutions that never push back and you get this
