Customer service. Data analysis. Project management.
All automated.
But here's what's fascinating:

In the 1800s, sending a message across the Atlantic took 12 days.

Soon, messages were 95% faster.
Until ONE catastrophe resulted in a £58M loss and delayed the internet by 100 years...🧵
Communication in the 1850s was painfully slow.
Messages between Europe and North America took 10-12 days by ship.

Naval Ravikant's parenting style is mind-blowing.
He lets his kids eat ice cream at 9 PM.
His oldest plays iPad 9 hours a day.
And he never forces his kids to do anything they don't want to do.

This philosophy comes from David Deutsch — a man Naval considers "the smartest living human."
Aside from his work on quantum computing, Deutsch pioneered a concept called "Taking Children Seriously".
