To add to this: Most good founders (regardless of market fit) should be figuring out sales engines themselves. Especially the first version. I would not invest in a company where the founder is trying to offload sales. Precisely because,

Of course! Nothing I said precludes this. Lots of collaboration is used for selfish means.

In fact most of the critiques I've read, go something like: "He's obviously right, but I don't like it cuz it smells like something bad from the 80's".

Nah, University is too late to fix this. But clearly kids aren’t fully “passing” their high school and probably middle school skills. Mass failings while satisfying has an air of “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. As a parent I can see

We don't really have to look for an explanation. The author says it, pure and clear. "It’s the phones, stupid" That's it. Every other variable, including the transactional nature of acquiring a middle class job, has st

This maybe a little reductionist. To bring the jet engine and/or microprocessor to a point where it could uplift all boats took probably millions of people. You can choose to be one of those people and you'd be working on someth

That seems like a transitory problem already solved by government programs such as extended unemployment and adult training programs. The problem is still more people's willingness to cede the status of their current jobs to take up ne

I've seen no evidence for there being "not enough jobs". The problem (as always) is the status associated with the job. There is a real dearth of people wanting to work the trades, but no one wants those jobs. I'm not

Yea which is why I started with “hate to use this argument”. Definitely anecdotal but the kernel of truth is that income and rent going up could be a correlation with a different causation and as many have pointed out in this thread the pap

Yes, this. Also, hate to use this argument but this simply doesn't match my lived experience. My rent and income have been going up for the last 10 years and yes that means I'm paying more and more for housing. However, my city

I always saw Stoicism as “things around you are going to be really screwed up and panicking about it will make it worse” The first part of that sentence is opposite to what the author here suggests.
