You really don't know how hard it is to raise kids. And with all due respect, just so you know, kids are not startups.
- lisper 18y agoNreece's corollary to Hofstadter's law: raising kids is harder than you think even when you take into account nreece's corollary to Hofstadter's law. :-) > Kids are not startups. Of course they are. They aren't startup companies, they are startup humans, but they are definitely startups.
- aneesh 18y agoI hope you're not implying that kids have the same failure rates as startup companies. It really seems like you're trying to force the analogy here. +1 for the corollary though :-)
- izaidi 18y agoThe most important thing to tell your kids is, "Just don't die."
- iron_ball 18y agoWell, if you map living a decent but unexceptional life to "failure", and becoming a world-changing figure to Google-like success, then yes, the rates are about the same, or even worse for humans.
- lisper 18y ago> I hope you're not implying that kids have the same failure rates as startup companies. Of course not. We've been making startup humans for a lot longer than we've been making startup companies. So it's no surprise that we're better at it. (Still room for improvement though IMHO.)
