If we are a simulation of an advanced super being is it productive to anthropomorphize their desires? If a civilization is advanced enough to create our reality then they are living in higher dimensions and their motivations would likely

I have learned a lot from HBR, but i also find it's skewed, rightfully so, to larger corporations. I enjoy https://firstround.com/review/ quite a bit. Excellent quality articles.

Good point! That was a very fascinating read. I've never heard of Wardley Maps before. I really liked this quote: > Most companies aren’t playing chess when it comes to strategy (despite what you read). At best, most are simply mem

The parent comment on focus and this comment on extreme prioritization are so helpful. Recently we are focused on just one objective and key result - it took years to get that far - we used to have so many. But even now with just one object

What is the best way to learn how to execute at a very high level as Google does? We are a 25 person tech startup and while our culture is amazing we struggle with execution. This is an ongoing struggle for us; it’s so easy for a young star

I predict the pill that may help with these issues is something like psilocybin along with a well trained therapist guide.

Thanks for such a great read. I have a somewhat similar story. My brother and I started our company the moment after we bought our domain name: retreat.guru. We actually wanted a different domain but didn’t get it; retreat.guru was the runn

‘Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect’ by Ian Stevenson. This book radically changed my understanding of reality, consciousness and the nature of self. I’m a very skeptical and scientifically minded person; this book looks at the subj

Our team of 25 use Notion as a replacement for Asana AND google docs AND sometimes excel (for tables). We LOVE it. Thanks so much!

Wow. Fantastic article. I’d love to do the same with eastern philosophy!

This was my favourite aspect of dotsies: that words began to have familiar shapes. I stopped needing to parse certain words because their shape was so unique and memorable. At the same time it would be interesting to see it implemented base

It would be fascinating to test the behaviour of two male octopus on MDMA. Will they fight or connect? I’d love to see a video of the difference in behaviour.

I’ve been to India many times, and it’s true most people there litter without much thought. Once while ‘adapting myself to the culture’ I threw a plastic water bottle away on a street corner that was already heavy with garbage; and just the

Check our Air Table. https://airtable.com . I’ve not used it in production yet but it looks like a good excel replacement for database type info. The UI is very slick. I tried smartsheets but it’s more calc centric. Asana is gre

From their website: “Freed of keys, you might just have more time and opportunity to explore life’s possibilities.” C’mon really? Similar to Juicero they could have gone to market with a simpler and less over engineered product and have a v

I don't think it is accurate to say most founders come from a privileged background without actually knowing the numbers. I am a founder (not YC) and both parents were public school teachers.

As a fellow founder my advice is to take a break - go on a retreat - yoga, meditation, ayahuasca, nature, etc.. Sounds like you are highly stressed. A break will give you some perspective. I bet those around you will understand and support
