These Norwegians are built different 💪😤 #IMWC2022 VinFast US

VCs calling companies “zombies” feels really disrespectful to founders and teams. Those of us who have built companies know how hard it is to grow consistently without dips along the way. Maybe opt for less time throwing shade on twitter and more time helping your portfolio.

With ambition, you tend to get one step below what you aim for. So unless you try to be the best, you won't even be good.

Prediction: 2023 will make 2022 look like a sleepy year for AI advancement & adoption.

This is incredible news! Medication abortion pills are safe. I am glad the FDA has made this historic change, and it’s time to end the non-evidence-based REMS, which makes it difficult for many providers to prescribe abortion pills. nytimes.com/2023/01/03/hea…

Massive congrats to Maryam and Jonathan on JourneyClinical’s Series A. I congratulate them on this milestone and am proud to be working with them to expand access to Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy safely and effectively. journeyclinical.com/blog/journey-c…

Hi Rep. Mike Kelly, I’m a professor of Ob/Gyn at UC San Francisco, an abortion provider, and researcher at ANSIRH. Unsurprisingly, you got a few things wrong in this tweet that I’d like to clarify. Do you mind if I outline them for you? Facts are critical when discussing medical treatments.

My nightmare in life is to build a successful company that becomes lame. Praveen Seshadri wrote an incredible post on problems at Google. Some high level notes: 1.Not customer focus but process/“scale” focused 2.Stated culture+mission does not match what medium.com/@pravse/the-ma…

European countries by percentages, who say “most people can be trusted”

This is exactly right. Should execs of SVB pay a price for bad business decisions? Yes Should SVB shareholders? Yes Should SVB bond holders? Yes Should the regulators who approved so much risk concentration on SVB’s b/s? Yes Should depositors? No Do we want more bank runs

I’m not asking for a bailout. I’m asking for banking regulators to ensure the integrity of the system. Either deposits in the US are safe or they’re not. If not, look out below. We have a very big problem on our hands.

ugh fine here is my SVB thread: TL;DR: at this point, to be certain of avoiding catastrophe, the FDIC needs to temporarily guarantee all deposits. other solutions might work, but this is the best one.

It’s hard for me to ask for support. But today: If you’ve been to Burning Man, you know how special the temple is. ~250 volunteers build her so we can be more human, feel deeper, process grief. RT & consider backing and sharing the Temple of the Heart's Kickstarter. 🙏❤️👇

Today is my birthday! This has been the best year of my life and I feel like I'm on a very special quest. I would make my day if you could RT this so your burner friends know that we're trying to hit the Temple of the Heart stretch fundraising goals and just focus on building!

here is an alternative path for society: ignore the culture war. ignore the attention war. make safe agi. make fusion. make people smarter and healthier. make 20 other things of that magnitude.   start radical growth, inclusivity, and optimism.   expand throughout the universe.
