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.
