I doubt anybody is colonising anyone anymore . Everybody has enough domestic shit going on.

But I do feel it has been a good partnership overall as India was coming out of the shadows and US was and still is the most inviting place.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) made its way into Lazard’s analysis and showed a potential for some wind and solar power projects to have an effective $0/MWh LCOE price.

Economics is also an underlying hidden reason behind everything. Making friends requires a lot of bandwidth. You cannot create them over a coffee or wine, it would be a multiple touch point event over 6-12 months. In low trust environments the cost of friendship goes up.

When you have to work 100 hrs a work to meet your expenses can you take out 20 hrs for friends. then another 20 for family, another 20 for kid. and then 1000 for your wife.

Inflation makes you work harder for the same amount. When everybody is working harder they don't have time. Also because they are not doing many things outside of work what will they talk about.

Rich people still find it pretty ease to make friends. The parallel processing of earning money, family and friends is really hard and eventually will take your stress higher levels than lower.

Random Selection will lead to better hiring not just diversity than current hiring practices at companies. Yes it is that broken.

Randomness still has probability at play while current hiring processes mostly rely on luck

Twitter wants to introduce everything without solving fundamental distribution problems. The constraint writing is what is powerful about Twitter but now also wants to have a voice and blogs. They really need to be bought out and injected with intelligence

“Technological progress steadily shifts the line between the knowable and the unknowable in the direction of Cassandra’s powers. Advances in genomic analyses and biomarker research will put more and more people into situations where they have to decide whether they want to know future health issues.” Gerd Gigerrenzer

Deliberate ignorance is a way to optimize for out emotions. Most of us are still rooted in our limbic brain no matter how rational we think we are.

In a paper called “Cassandra;s regret - a paper in the journal of psychology review” written by Gerd Gigerrenzer he mentions the prevalence of People ignoring mostly to maintain a potential upside due to surprise and also the negative emotions associated with knowing something they didn’t want to know. People prefer to be in a state of active ignorance even when information is freely available. 85-95% of people don’t want to know about potential upcoming negative events. Deliberate ignorance to maintain positive emotions is more prevalent than earlier expected.

"Early in my career, I was taught that any team member was replaceable and that as long as you had sufficient time to find a suitable replacement, you would be fine." what ??? no wonder there is a hiring crisis

Hi Ryan - welcome to capitalism!

he is just picking a fight to get to the next wave of twitter followers. Top players will always have strong network effects and will defend their territory. We have been rejected twice by YC which means nothing. You can beat a strong network by innovating in distribution and product. But that is very hard to do so the simpler thing is pick the biggest guy on the street and start a fight to get attention.
