The Israeli-Palestinian issue is a divisive and deeply complex issue, and I’m seeing a lot of contextualizing and arguments for both sides.
If you’re like me, there’s a lot more learning to do on the subject and you might be afraid to speak out and say the wrong thing..

“VCs have given up on consumer” — not me.
now is an incredible time to build the next consumer hit
Venture capitalists have given up on the idea that they’ll make their career finding the next hit consumer marketplace, retail brand or media company.

sometimes people ask me "when" the metaverse will arrive. it's not an on/off switch. we're already in it, and it's happening gradually all around us
case in point: we already spend a 3rd of our lives (8+ hours per day) in today's metaverse (TV + social media + games)
