from going to duke basketball games 4 yrs ago to this … congrats @raymondhechen and @tomo team on the insane launch!

It's been 3 years since AI exploded, but nobody's life has improved outside of Silicon Valley. Tomo is for real humans, like my little brother Lucas and 10,000 other humans taking a chance on themselves every single day.

I think about Henry Kravis's ($12B) parting words to Ravi Gupta as he left to go to Instacart almost every day

@JamesSurowiecki @soleio He’s the best candidate by far. If tech really wants to see him win they should quietly donate to his campaign while publicly supporting the front runners.

1. Legalize housing (zoning reform / kill single-family-only zoning, parking minimums, FAR limits) Confidence: very high. Housing costs are the single biggest driver of US inequality, immobility, homelessness, declining fertility, and even a chunk of carbon emissions (sprawl). Make it legal to build apartments near jobs and rents fall. Why not done: localism. Homeowners are the median voter, vote in off-cycle elections, and treat their house as a leveraged retirement account. Federalism means DC can nudge but not mandate.

california is a paradise, which is the only reason it's not one; the ppl here haven't suffered enough. i propose we designate 30 days/yr for a geoengineered winter in which we learn to face the elements, shovel our neighbors' sidewalks, & rediscover the true meaning of Christmas

Imagine one day, this chart will be about housing.
How me made it abundant and cheap, only a small fraction of your income goes towards it.
This is the YIMBY mission.

75 years ago, 1 out of every 5 dollars a US family earned went to food. Today that's closer to 1 in 10. A slow, steady, easy-to-miss kind of progress.

It’s genuinely crazy how good Elon Musk’s PR was before 2018-2020 among. I knew people who despise him know call him a “real-life Tony Stark” back in like 2016
