working for yourself is addictive in a way most people don’t anticipate & the stress that comes with it is genuinely difficult to manage. when you’re the principal, nothing happens without you. you set the tone, the structure, the culture, & the motivation. you are the foundational layer.
most ppl have never had to operate this way cuz they’ve always been embedded in a system & told what to do, when to do it, & what matters. aka the shawshank lifestyle. the human mind runs surprisingly well on prescription. strip that away & you discover pretty quickly whether you actually have an interior architecture or just a talent for compliance.
that’s what makes it so damn dichotomous. the freedom is so fucking real, but so is the weight. all i’m saying is that most ppl have never had to locate their own gravity before.

The AI supercluster's attempt to build a silicon god is driving GDP, and government spending on old people is driving the whole labor market.
Tapping the sign: "The US economy is a Friday church service: Mostly old people and the attempt to summon the divine."
Items #1-3 on that list could look like:
-signaling to stakeholders you have connectivity to innovation
-signaling to stakeholders that you provide access to exclusive managers
-“diversification”
For a solid % of global LP capital: this is intended behavior.
LP $ into venture comes with multiple priorities. And superior risk adjusted returns may be 4th or 5th on that list.
