Entrepreneurship is gonna look a lot more like art than business because the only moat left will be taste, not technicality. The role of art has always been to detect the signs of cultural change—artists find creative arbitrages, saying what people think before they realize it themselves. So the future of consumer products depends on how well you can detect, define, and create what people want before they know it. Traditional market research might be less useful because most people don’t know/can’t articulate what they want—it’s up to the artistically intuitive and psychologically inclined thinkers to find the local religion or patterns of belief and desire in a given market. “Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.” (Freud)

"Happiness is a choice you make and a skill you develop. The mind is just as malleable as the body. We spend so much time and effort trying to change the external world, other people, and our own bodies, all the while accepting ourselves the way we were programmed in our youths. We accept the voice that talks to us in our head all the time as the source of all truth. But all of it is malleable, every day is new, and memory and identity are burdens from the past that prevent us from living freely in the present." — @naval in Tribe of Mentors

A pianist finds a telescope that lets him talk to the Enlightenment.

Pedro Pascal as mushrooms. A thread.

YES! I was lucky enough to be in that theater and it was surreal watching the Oscars last night from SXSW this year. Thanks Daniels and huge congrats on the successeseseses!

Too many movies and shows where people wear shoes on beds or in bedrooms or in kitchens. At that point I'm only watching the shoes. Can't hear any dialogue. Everyone in that scene becomes a villain

#NopeFilm was REALLY good. Still working on me hours later. The most layered of @JordanPeele’s films and flips the social thriller recipe to 2 shots social, 1 part thriller, some simple syrup and a mad dash of hoodied orange Peele.

The Matrix described 1999 as the peak of human civilization and I laughed because that would obviously not age well but then the next 23 years happened and now I’m like yeah okay maybe the machines had a point
