Solve the most important problem that you can personally impact.

(a thread)
1/ Picking problems to solve is a function of attention.

Wherever and whatever you’re paying attention to is going to reveal problems in that domain to you.

Solving such revealed problems is going to absorb you and will reveal even more problems worth solving in that domain.
2/ So this creates kind of a feedback loop.

How much can science tell us about reality?

(a really long 🧵 thread)
1/ Reading and re-reading The Brief History of Time when I was young, I grew up into adolescence with an unshakeable faith in science to reveal truths about reality.
2/ At school, we were taught scientific laws as if they're the gospel of reality, never to be changed and never to be questioned.

Once you understood magnetism, for example, you could seal that part of reality forever as being understood and then move onto the next thing.

What you build your business on doesn’t limit how big it can grow.

(a 🧵 on this mental model)
1/ Can an app built on top of Facebook become bigger than Facebook itself?

It’s easy to believe that you will get limited by how big is the businesses on which your business is built. But that’s not true.
2/ An app built on top of Facebook can become bigger than Facebook because the customers and desires that Facebook serves are very different than customers and desires that the business that’s built on Facebook is trying to serve.

*cough*

Not one day passes in the crypto world without drama.
Fundamentally, I do think it’s the right decision for Tesla, which is on a mission to push Earth towards zero carbon emissions.

But what’s beyond me is that it isn’t like they didn’t know about bitcoin related emissions earlier.
Frankly, wouldn’t be surprised if Musk announces TeslaCoin or SpaceXCoin (or something similar) soon.

Hinting at the perceived sluggish rate of innovation in recent decades, Peter Thiel famously said that “we were promised 🚀 flying cars and all we got is 140 characters”.

But is it true?

In my next podcast, I pick @ArtirKel's brain on whether progress is slowing down.
Check out the full podcast here:

Difference between wealth and money.

(a short 🧵 thread)
1/ As the oxygen crisis during 2nd covid wave in India has reiterated,

wealth = *stuff* we want
money = *numbers* in our bank
2/ Being wealthy is a matter of priorities, while being rich is a matter of luck and hard work.
