    My Writing About Musk Isn’t About Musk

    It seems like I’ve been writing a lot about Elon Musk. Objectively I, and most other writers have been. I cannot speak for others, but for me Musk is just an object lesson in the bad part of startup land. I’ve been around startups since I was a teenager. I’ve seen so many gallons of…

    Learning From History To Avoid Learning From Failure Is Good

    “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” Was said by Thomas Edison after a reporter asked him How did it feel to fail 1,000 times [when inventing the lightbulb]?” I really think failure is needed to further knowledge.

    Orwellian Goal

    If George Orwell had one goal, and that goal was to write a book that people who hadn’t read it would bring up in conversation as if it was the only fictional work to comment on politics prior to televised animation, he completed his goal with more success than any other person. 1984 is also…

    Is Online Ads Management A ‘High Demand’ Skill?’

    Every “learn that high demand skill [online ads]” course is bull shit. How do I know?
