the amount of genius sitting untapped in people who were born in the wrong place at the wrong time is probably the biggest waste in human history undiscovered because opportunity isn't distributed by merit, but by geography + luck love this quote from @balajis on "dark talent"

I don't agree with this - I think banks can compete. There are other methods of payment beyond cards (and banks have some of the better card franchises, see @Chase), and the good ones have a huge edge in lending. The problem is they are bundled conglomerates, which are unwieldy…
