How to make millions as a professional whistleblower. What a weird and interesting career path.

It’s time to talk about America’s disorder problem. One of the things that stood out most to me when moving back to the US from Switzerland was the amount of disorder that we tolerated as a society. This tolerance for disorder might not be entirely bad — America is nothing without its weirdos — but I’m not sure we realize the degree to which it is a choice.

Inventing on principle. Fantastic and through provoking talk about what motivates innovation. It has me wondering what principles I can commit to in this way.

How to succeed at Mr. Beast Productions. Includes a great 101 description of how YouTube’s algorithim works + a lot of tenacity.

How I failed. The CEO of O’Reilly Media talks candidly about the biggest lessons he’s learned along the way. Rare to get this much candor in one of these.

Meta smart glasses lead to real time doxxing. I don’t see anyway we can expect to unrecognized in the future. Better to accept it.
