Someone offered me low single percents of equity recently to "do their marketing" Here is why that is *OFFENSIVE* in 2024: Your widget sucks. No, not your specific product, reader. But in general, most people THINK their brand is the next nike. That they have invented some

In LA, the way you signal wealth is you drive an exotic car. In NYC, if you have an exotic car, it means you live in New Jersey and cannot afford Manhattan.

If you're hungry but too lazy to prepare healthy food, you'll consume junk food. If you're hungry for knowledge but too lazy to seek out the truth, you'll consume misinformation.

I remember a woman who survived being mauled by a bear (it RIPPED HER FACE OFF) did an ama about her experience and said the worst part of the whole thing, attack, rescue, recovery, years of healing, many surgeries, was dealing with the health insurance company

“It’s not that I am trying to do social engineering around people using bikes, walking & transit. I am trying to undo the 60+ years of social engineering around the complete reliance on the automobile.” — well said Gabe Klein. #cardependency

“The United States, with its enormous highways, sprawling suburbs and neglected public transport systems, is one of the most car-dependent countries in the world. But this arrangement of obligatory driving is making many Americans actively unhappy, new research has found.” Via
