Playing with words. Seriously. (Tweets by Eric Chaikin)



I've been working on this important list for a couple of years now. What am I missing?







A minor lesson I learned. Hudson River Trading has large cafeterias in all of its centers. And an abnormal amount of communal spaces (alcoves, booths, meeting room). You sit for lunch and talk to strangers or old friends. I estimate that premier real estate space (and the chef-served lunches) to cost $20-30m/yr. It is a 100x return/yr. Eating together is how you get people to lower their defenses, talk, trust others, collaborate, create alliances since the Pleistocene. And the lesson is that you can win at technology by going back to very simplest, ancestral things.






I’ve only got two, maybe three good Motown puns left in me. Four Tops.





It’s crazy how millennials are the only generation that can see through disinformation online. Maybe it’s because we were raised offline but grew with the internet. Meanwhile, the digital world is still foreign to boomers. And it’s all Gen Z has ever known, so they’re cooked.
