Don't tell us we can't afford universal health care or cancel student debt when the proposed Pentagon budget is $813,000,000,000.

Here’s a rule of startups that applies everywhere - don’t criticize someone else’s idea unless you have a better one to offer on the spot.

Your brain is your forever computer.
You can program it to believe anything.
Careful what you teach it.

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it.
In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

In web2 we talk about “users” and “viewers” being “acquired”
In web3 we talk about “owners” and “members” who “join” and “participate.”
words matter & we’re seeing an ecosystem and language get built around purposeful action in a very cool way.

Democrats should rebrand as “We Hate Republicans” and Republicans as “We Hate Democrats” just to make each party’s essential message clearer.

There will be no real progress in this country unless we have the courage to take on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, and all the other forces of greed.

8 out of the 9 top stories on NYTimes are negative right now. Google News even worse…. I know there are serious problems in the world but I wonder if it’s healthy for the billion+ people online to read largely negative news about the world every day…

I see a God Who empowers me to create whatever experience I choose, and gives me the tools with which to do that.

Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy.
Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder.
Uncomfortable conversations are hard, but avoiding every conflict is harder.
Mastering your craft is hard, but having no skills is harder.
Easy has a cost.

If you really believe in free speech, you have to believe the people you disagree with are free to say whatever they want too.
Partisan politics leads to tribalism which leads to “othering” those who disagree with leads to dehumanizing the “other” which leads to violence… perhaps we could do better?
