It's another beautiful morning of living and working in the Flatiron Belt

superintelligence has finally unlocked humans to do the work they are really good at: dealing with permissions issues and signing up for accounts on websites

Excited to launch a new project - @SellBondsNow ! An on-chain bond marketplace where the issuers are AI agents

So many people have counted NFTs out. But they're still one of the most important cultural movements of the modern era, and they are definitely not dead. Dont underestimate the energy surrounding them

The world feels so unstable right now. It's a bizarre time to be living through. I have a newborn daughter. I keep imagining what I'm going tell her about how she should live her life when she's in high school. What advice do I give? What career should she pursue? The true answer is that I have zero idea. The world is changing so quickly. How could i possibly know?? One of the big advantages of technology is that it shifts the playing field. It changes who's powerful, who's important, who matters. That creates enormous opportunity. But it also removes any anchor you have to the past. Imagine the far more static world of the 1700s or 1800s. People alive then felt deeply connected to history. They saw themselves in the Holy Roman emperors, in the city-states of Athens. They looked back at Cicero or Solon and saw themselves as their direct descendants. The world was a machine that had stayed the same for thousands of years, and they felt confident they knew how it worked. When you have hundreds, or thousands, of years of history backing you up, you feel rooted. You have an immense sense of place and purpose. Technology robs us of that. There's no precedent for what we're experiencing. I can relate a little bit to a Roman emperor, but they never had Claude, railroads, cars, oil, hospitals, stock markets, movies, google, univerisites, F-22s, aspirin, Christianity, smartphones, rockets, air conditioning, instagram, flashlights, or cryptocurrency. So much is completely new that we don't feel connected to anyone in the past. A connection to the past provides a sense of rootnedness. You can grow up knowing the world looked like the world of your father, and your father's father. You can grow up expecting it will look the same for your children, and your children's children. You can connect to them and teach them what you know, confident it will matter to them. Instead, we feel only lost and confused. No one who came before can prepare us for what is coming next. And right now we can't prepare our children for what's to come. We're alone on a dark path, in a forest with no moonlight, and it's clearly freaking everyone tf out. We're robbed of belonging to an order and structure that gave so many of our ancestor's lives meaning. What will give my daughter's life meaning? What structure will it have? What will really matter to people in 25 years? I have only a few answers I'm confident about, and it's terrifying. It's truly a strange time to be alive

I want to open a restaurant in NYC called “SlopHaus” - private equity maxxed - all the food is organic - but you have to eat it out of a trough - everything is $30 Who's in?
