CYPRESS PEOPLE ARE “ONLY THE BEST”
We are smart, tough, and work hard.
We tell the truth and don’t make excuses.
We value knowledge, logic, and reason.
We admit to and solve problems quickly.
We deplore politicians.

Everything gets easier when you walk away from the hubris of everyone. Your work is not for everyone. It’s only for those who signed up for the journey.

This revolution, the information revolution, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It’s very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt light bulb to run and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now? This revo... See more

Robert Greene On The Concept Of "The Sublime"
youtube.comhumans are social animals, and we try to keep ourselves inside a kind of circle and mentally inhabit an enclosed space.
well, the sublime is what lies just outside that circle. other ideas about the world. other ways of thinking, other ways of feeling. and it’s transformative.
because humans don't naturally like limits. when your mother tells you, don't do that, that's exactly what you want to do.
the word sublime, from the Latin means up to the threshold. up to the threshold of a door. and looking through that door on the other side is a sublime experience. so when you take a hike and you're feeling like a sense of awe at everything that you're seeing, and you're feeling your heart beating and you're feeling this rush of adrenaline, you're so excited, you're experiencing a sublime emotion. and that sublime emotion is a kind of an expansiveness as opposed to the closed spirit that we normally have.
and it's liberating and it's exciting.
we create our own reality. we have imaginations. we can imagine new kinds of political structures. we can imagine new kinds of social ways of interacting. we can create instead of just passively consuming what other people give us.
The best executive communication starts with the state of affairs. It's fact based, unambiguous. It's totally not controversial. No matter what side of an issue or a hard choice you're on, you should be able to read the situation and go, "That pretty much sums it up." Whether you're on one side or another of an issue, it doesn't matter. You should ... See more

The purpose of a business is to serve a customer. The purpose of a community is to serve its members.
Andrew Beal • Issue #33: DAOs...company or community?
We recently invested in a company that enables creators to be the next-generation sales channels for brands, in a transparent and privacy-forward way. Brands care about a few things: 1) They only want to pay when they’ve acquired a new customer and done so profitably; 2) They want to control who can sell / promote their brand and where; and 3) They...

My rough rule is that I’d like to write stuff that will still be worth reading in five years, and ideally stuff that will be more relevant a year from now. Because of the way news site algorithms currently work, that’s the opposite of what everybody who writes for a living does.
Applied Divinity Studies • [Guest post] How Substack Became Milquetoast
Voice as a social medium. Voice continues to pick up steam as a broadcast medium via podcasting, but we haven’t seen a lot in social or P2P voice yet. We think a successful platform will leverage the fact that voice content can be created and consumed while doing other things. We’re big fans of companies like TTYL and Drivetime that are making stri... See more
