Ever noticed how birds strangely dance around reflective windows.
That’s because most birds can’t recognize themselves in the mirror, so when they look at the mirror all they see is another fellow bird copying their every move.

I am sure this sounds smart to most who are ignorant of how living organisms co-exist on a micro-level.
Ask yourself, are these so-called human design flaws really ‘flawed’ if they serve a much bigger purpose to the efficiency & sustainability of life and nature itself?

Now, every intellectual, founder and investor is suddenly a fan of Elon Musk. Just in January last year, many said he was crazy, too erratic and delusional.

I very much disagree with most of his opinions and I find him very annoying most times, but love him or hate him, he is very true to his nature.
Dude even rejects gigs that stifles his opinion. He is so principled and has no regard for public opinions.

What I find most interesting about this tweet is how a table of maybe (8 - 15) somehow became the signal on what an entire generation (millions) is doing.
Reminds me why most opinions are merely a reflection of our perceptions and how they effect our interpretation of reality.
I was at a large dinner a while back and realized on the table only three women were still married. I am really happy that in our generation its becoming (more) normalized for women to end bad marriages not suffer and smile for the optics.

Think of agent banking as distribution not a product.
Don't compete with agent banking, leverage it.
Agent banking is not the future of African banking, but the catalyst required to build it.
Agent banking is extremely valuable today because poverty is still dominant today.

One of the wildest exchanges I've seen in a while was when the chairman of Thyssenkrupp crashed the interview and forced Karp to pitch him on Foundry. Karp later invited him to the $PLTR villa for a demonstration of the software.

My Co-founder's dad just died and I feel really really sad today. His dad funded our trip to California some years ago for our previous startup's YC interview. Even after we got rejected, he was still supportive.
He was a good man, and may his soul rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Another interesting observation: Most weaknesses we acquire in life cannot be improved enough to make a difference, but all our strengths can always be improved.
Hence my strong belief that the net-surface area of our luck increases exponentially when we focus on our strengths.

Relax. A founder’s reward is nonlinear, and this comes with high risk & high rewards. In exchange, we offer employees rewards that are average, low risk & guaranteed.
E.g Elon Musk vs employee.
Using a founder’s nonlinear reward as a comparison is the error in your judgement.
Company raise money in dollars then you see the founders moving to bigger personal apartments, buying fancy cars but paying people what they ask for is where they draw the line. Make we continue dey deceive ourselves.

Your ‘perceived’ Design flaws doesn’t make the design any less intuitive, or the designer any less brilliant.
Easy to point out ‘design flaws’ anyone can learn in school than to understand why they exist fundamentally.
These counter-arguments of atheists are always funny to me.

For example, some atheists call human death a design flaw, while ignoring the role it plays in sustaining life & nature itself. For every death, there’s a thousand life forms created and sustained.
Is this a flaw? Yes to the man that only sees ‘What’ without understanding ‘Why’.
