Thinking out loud about startups, tech, vc & everything in between. Interested in self actualization, practical idealism & solution building. Talk to me.

This thread remains one of my favorites. It really encapsulates the Nigerian spirit of grit and resilience. And Lambda’s investment here paid off tenfold in terms of her accomplishments and good publicity.

The boot camp is grueling.
And it’s pretty obvious that some people there have never been through any kind of academically intensive program.

Any Nigerian will have already gotten that experience out of the way in boarding school as did I so I just grit my teeth & got on with it

@kyzcralotSxaM It’s a nuisance. There’s something there.

They will offer tranquility, reduced cost of living and efficiency to innovators looking for balance. Cities like Miami that offer a robust nightlife/social scene, beautiful natural landscapes will become increasingly popular. Especially if they’re efficient.

Major cities are experiencing less traffic to their downtown districts, as more countries also start to offer digital nomad residencies. This is an opportunity for “vacation countries” to increase GDP from tax payments as opposed to just tourism.

Not having to expend brain power on survival has done wonders for my productivity and creativity. As expected.

@drgurner * managing expectations

@theSamParr @hubermanlab Mechanisms to help the brain curb temptation.

They escape scrutiny by using the right language. I’m more comfortable in the company of the openly treacherous, than greedy power hungry posers who exploit with a gratuitous smile.

[VCMaven @vc_maven]

Very wary of people/institutions that pose as messiahs of any kind. Especially if they align themselves as pro “immigrant” “diversity” “gender equality”. Quite often they utilize power in callous ways. Often dishonorable and ruthless in their personal dealings.

Interestingly I thought The Closer was the most diplomatic of Chapelle’s Netflix specials. It was almost like he was begging not to be misunderstood.

[VCMaven @vc_maven]

One of my greatest peeves with humans is our penchant for reckless indiscriminate procreation. And unfortunately most solutions geared towards solving this problem teeters on the slippery slope of eugenics, even if not intended at the conception of said ideas.

[VCMaven @vc_maven]

@JacquiBerlinn So sorry for your heartache. I hope you both have a safe landing.

[VCMaven @vc_maven]

@kyzcralotSxaM Happy birthday

@AdamSinger Lmao turns out cultish fanaticism and condescension doesn’t make for widespread adoption.
