Founders should read more fiction and ask themselves how they can apply how it makes them feel to their business Seek out being moved emotionally and capture that feeling. Stop reading biz books and listening to SOP garbage podcasts. Go find your humanity.

Stablecoins go mainstream when we hide the wires.

$XYZ – @CashApp USDC Stablecoin Demo Notice how the User DID NOT have to: • choose whether it was Ethereum, Solana, Tron, etc • whether it was USDC, USDT, PYUSD, etc • choose gas/tx fees Super intuitive. Easy. Cash App is doing stablecoins better than stablecoin natives.

I'm gonna say it: denying yourself grief is fundamentally wrong. what if grief gives us the need to seek out others, create community, and teaches us to comfort others in their loss? learning to live with and accept loss is human.

What if the loved ones we've lost could be part of our future?

John: I was thinking about how 'AUM-weighted slop' isn't an excuse for slop. If you put 1% of your fund into startups that are like "We're the craziest and most degenerate companies," if that 1% gets 1000x more views than the other 99%, you'll be known as the slop fund.



become yourself.

“Be yourself” is sound advice. But “become yourself” is better advice. What’s the difference? “Be yourself” encourages you to embrace who you are today, even when you feel pressured to conform. But it stops at the current version of you. “Become yourself” goes further…

Interesting, thoughtful from @johncoogan. I feel like labels such as acc/decel set up the conditions for a "purity test" in tech, which really should be secular to participate in. Also, I must confess, it was hard to take my eyes off the "Pope Leo XIV Lights Up The Timeline"…

John: I don't think you should just throw "decel" at someone who's identifying a negative externality of a new technology. That's not necessarily decelerationist.

If you identify and mitigate negative externalities of a new technology super early, you might be able to fend off future imprecise regulation or public backlash. You might even accelerate that very technology’s progress.

all the stupid takes on this website would disappear after a week if you just stop paying attention to them. but no, you can’t do that. no, you just have to signal how smart and good you are by commenting how dumb and bad they are. you just can’t help it.
