There are essentially two business models right now: boring, useful things that can print money and tastemaker brands that can brute force cultural relevancy. Dumb $ is funding the middle: stuff that is neither useful nor cool enough to make it past current startup headwinds.

My most hippy belief I think is true is that changing your vocabulary changes how you perceive reality. You're just prompt engineering your brain all day. Try shuffling out these 5 words: 1. Decision --> Experiment 2. Problem --> Puzzle 3. Relax --> Energise 4. Failure -->
