Most VP and C-Level titles will be obsolete by 2035. 1/2 of Fortune 500 have quietly removed the COO role. CMO and CFO is next. AI is coming for six and seven figure jobs. It’s a good time to be a founder and a bad time to be a manager. Go build something.

Stop telling your employees what you need or want “I need you to do this” or “I want it done this way” Who cares? Your mom? Speak to them like a peer “This is how we do _____ here” “The right way to do that is _____” Be matter of fact using simple language & a respectful tone Watch the results

Jerry Garcia on thinking about a peaceful planet RIP Bobby

WHAT WE’RE THINKING ABOUT IS A PEACEFUL PLANET.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF POWER.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF STRUGGLES.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT REVOLUTION OR WAR OR ANY OF THAT.
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE WANT.
NOBODY WANTS TO GET HURT.
NOBODY WANTS TO HURT ANYBODY.
WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE AN UNCLUTTERED LIFE.
A SIMPLE LIFE, A GOOD LIFE.
AND THINK ABOUT MOVING THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE AHEAD A STEP,
OR A FEW STEPS.

— Jerry Garcia

I am a pacifist Most people I interact with, both liberal & conservative, actively campaign for me to abandon my beliefs (to varying degrees or re: certain groups) On BlueSky & IRL, people try to persuade me into adopting a positive philosophy toward violence Why is my pacifism so offensive?
