Random question that I’m genuinely curious about: Why don’t commercial airplanes have an eject button?
Like a button that can be pressed if the plane is about to crash that shoots off the top and every seat ejects with a little parachute.
Is it a cost issue? Engineering impossibility?
I have to imagine people would pay more to know they had a better (say 80% higher) chance of survival in the event of a catastrophic failure.
Just something that I’ve always wondered about and now I want to know the answer to.
Even if you assume it still has some hazards and issues (in air collisions post ejection, parachute deployment issues, etc.) if you could get to 80% survival rather than ~0% survival in a catastrophic failure, I bet people would opt to fly a more expensive airline that had this.
The only logic I can think of is that it’s so rare that it’s not worth putting money behind fixing.
But if people would pay for it, why not?
The fear of crashes is outsized relative to their incidence, so I bet there’s a premium/margin to be made on offering this.

This is a really beautiful review.
A minimalist gives in...
"Within 100 pages I had earmarked so many pages that it felt necessary for me to own my own copy!"
🤯
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the book and launch.
My perspective is simple:
Step 1: Create a product you’re proud of.
Step 2: Hustle like hell for distribution.
Most people forget Step 1 and aren’t willing to really do what’s necessary for Step 2.
If you order a hardcover copy of my book TODAY and DM me the receipt, I’ll send you a personalized video with some topics from the book I think you’ll love.
For more ideas like this, order my bestselling new book, The 5 Types of Wealth.

There is no such thing as the clear, linear path to success.
It's a fairy tale that doesn't exist.
The reality:
Long periods of stagnation, where the rewards will feel anything but certain.
Those who can continue to show up every single day will eventually find a way to win.
