I don’t really have much to say… it kind of speaks for itself. I do appreciate the table of contents so you don’t get lost in the short paragraphs though

    I thought he was confusing sharks with crocodiles where there is the myth that they would live forever and keep growing if their environment allowed for it

      Ah yes, that could be it. (comparing yourself to crocodiles (who are iirc genetically pretty stable, and not very likely to change over time, vs technology always being in flux is also a bit odd)). But I prob have now thought 10x more about it than he did.

        It’s such a disappointing feeling when you realise that, isn’t it? They have the rationalist mindset of not putting energy into something if there isn’t immediate evidence of ROI but they sell things based on promises that hard work / trust in their words will pay off at some point down the road.
