My notes:
* Large number of startups
- Startups in general do better than any individual startups
* Nothing to Lose
* Desperate
- Makes you try crazy things
* Poor
- Makes you do things yourself
* Do many things
- More ideas produce more good ideas, even if each idea has no better chance of being good
* Don't need to prove something is a good idea before trying it
- All really good ideas seem stupid at first
- If they didn't, someone else would be doing it already
- Suggests giving "Get out of jail free" cards to let employees
* Get all the benefits of your work
- Otherwise, full downside but minimal upside
- Risk is proportionate to reward; keeping risks low also keeps rewards low
* Motivation, in increasing order of effectiveness
- Aiming for acquisition
- Fear of failure
- Play a practical joke on the world
