Well written, though it’s important to remember that different juries judge different writing styles as “better.” Conciseness would be celebrated in business and tech. Vague, ornate writing might be appreciated by those who enjoy surreal books and art.
Nothing additional to add here except want to cheer you on. Hang in there for whatever goal or path you visualize and decide to pursue in life. Wishing you well!
We might solve some of these problems with a 3rd party reader that uses Twitter APIs but with a differently structured feed (focus on X people, ignore Y term, etc). Anybody else?
Well said. Social dynamics would continue as pre Internet if humans naturally understood this extension. It seems profile pics with statuses turned out to be the complexity level sufficient for humans to begin conflating these abstractions with reality
Cases like this illustrate how electronic information is perception tech that has scaled human abilities much further than the printing press did, but with incorrect abstractions that have compounded over time, at the expense of our relationships...
We can’t stop human culture from evolving, but we would do well to measure more of where we’re headed. The best related examples off the top of my head is how debates via democracy were had at some point as we decided how juvenile criminal records work
Related, sonder is significant because it is a rare feeling
Maybe take an adventure or experience that leaves you with utter awe
If you have access to a community with thinkers you respect: put up a challenge where you thoroughly detail the music/ books/ideas that changed your life or strongly empower your perception of it. If somebody recommends another worthy one they win the prize. But the important detail with this plan is that this would only work if the community already gets joy out of doing the recommendation by itself for free. The money is more just an excuse to start a “contest”
I feel this article both understates the effects of having a free plan, but also arrives at an unfair conclusion. It's probably smart to not offer a free plan when your startup is looking for PMF and iterating features, a la that Superhuman trope. Which is indeed impactful as that could kill a startup. But in the case of Trello or Jira as mentioned by top comment, which are established companies, they are indeed pointlessly leaving behind $.
I heard once that cost-plus is related to the bloating of US defense budget and Boeing, Lockheed etc post WW2. Could someone familiar share some thoughts on what differences there are w this in pharma?
