Love this from Jesse Beyroutey : We’ve found that the primary source for a company’s dominance is whether it designs its product and business model to be perfectly aligned with its customers’ interests. A great test of alignment is whether the company benefits or suffers from increased transparency.
i wish people celebrated the internet as much as they bemoan it. it’s literally a World Wide Web of humans, an unthinkable miracle that you and i can connect because i tap my fingers on a piece of glass for 30 seconds. let us not be numb to this!! bring back wonder & appreciation
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
