I dig the web3 vision, but we're never tokenizing like buttons if they cost $30 in gas to click.

While still immature, I believe web3 may represent another phase-shift in this trend.

Web3 also unlocks new levels of permissionless innovation, further compounding the overall trend.

So don't get too distracted by the pump-and-dump shenanigans, or you may miss the opportunity to break the hegemony and see the dawn of a new age.

Netflix made a baking and engineering competition show and I feel like the algorithm sees me
Living organisms are equilibrium-resisting systems formed via evolutionary process. This is also true of corporations, for whom humans are like cells.

Not colouring the collared undershirts here feels like a serious missed opportunity.

The moment when me and my amazing crew, @rookisaacman, @ArceneauxHayley, @ChrisSembroski opened up the @SpaceX cupola for the first time, a true highlight of the @inspiration4x mission. Make sure you tune into Countdown on @netflix to see more epic moments from space! @TIME

I got turned away from a weed shop the other day for forgetting my ID. I forgot my ID because I no longer carry a wallet to make payments. Now is the time for this. Especially since we're going to need to verify vaccination status regularely.

I spent lots of time discussing A/B testing with @AliDinani when he was head of growth @CareGuide. He def knows what he's talking about. A bonus tip: express A/B test results as two ranges (eg A: 4-7, B: 3-5). It's way less deceptive than avgs + p-values.

Chill out on the A/B tests. Yes, A/B testing can drive unbelievable growth. But overdoing it will slow you down and leave you frustrated. Here's a thread on how to do it right:

This implies that being a better cooperator, rather than just a better competitor, is a major source of selection pressure in capitalism. This is true in evolution too, btw.

So keep your friends closer than your enemies, if you want to win.
