Unpopular anecdote: I used to have a great system for texting and driving, before it was made illegal in CA -- I generally drive with my left hand, so I would hold my phone up on the steering wheel with my right hand (at 3:00) and I would t

Privatization is the solution to regulatory capture. Larger government just creates more regulations to capture.

Let me frame that in a way that might make you feel less... disgusted apparently. Men used to primarily compete at killing one another and general conquest -- these all seem like fairly harmless alternatives comparatively.

"Government isn't working well! Easy fix, what we need is more government." Smart thinking over here.

"Experts" are especially prone to groupthink, this has been shown numerous times. People can be "informed" about something and still need to shut-up about it, when it's politically incorrect / represents a unpo

It's baffling to me whenever someone makes a comment like this. What else would you put emphasis on that can't be easily skewed by rampant subjectivity / favoritism?

What about when all the informed experts are wrong? Like consuming dietary cholesterol causing high blood cholesterol? Or trans fats being healthier than saturated fats? Or tariffs harming the US economy?

You're asking VCs to disregard social proof and FOMO, which will never happen, as those are the main things they rely on.

I tend to think a lot of our core personality traits are developed during an imprinting period (mostly between 7 and 11). I grew up as an only child on a fairly pastoral 15 acres, so very different environment compared to most people who ha
