  • Find a partner. It can be a person, it can be a small business that might be interested in selling your software… You need at least one partner

    You could try to take out a business loan or keep grinding as a side hustle, but if you don’t know how to build a product (and I don’t mean architecture) you need someone who does

    And I say it as someone who has come to that realization the hard way






  • There’s diversity, where you have a lot of different types of people, and then there’s places with a high concentration of a minority group

    The first one makes people less bigoted, because you can’t avoid dealing with people when they’re everywhere. Your not going to last long in NYC if you don’t want your food touched by them. Either you deal with it and get used to it, or you’ll find it hard to eat

    The second one doesn’t force those normal human interactions. Instead, you have exposure. You see them around, but don’t have to treat them like people. You might not interact at all.

    So every time you see them, it reinforces the racism

    You see it all over the American South, people around the black communities aren’t less racist, they’re giga-racist


  • When shit hit the fan, they just super calmly looked around, and said “That’s a bit boring.”

    Yeah, that could go badly… If people think you’re not taking their emergency seriously, and it turns out it’s not a quick fix, they’re probably not going to be very happy

    I do find redirecting them calmly to be even more helpful. Just don’t let their panick infect you, and start working the problem normally

    That usually calms people down instantly, because it skips the part where they have to convince you there’s a problem, instead you just skipped to giving them what they actually want

    That’s individualistic bullshit.

    The collective is what matters! It’s the whole point of all of it!

    You can’t do collective action independently. It doesn’t work that way. A million people marching separately is just a million people going for a walk

    You have to have a group. It doesn’t need hierarchy or organization, but it does need an immune system. You need bad actors to fall in line or be expelled. You all have to point in the same direction, even if you’d rather be a little more to one side or another





  • Then don’t get Galaxy scale with it, I wasn’t. This has nothing to do with evolution, that’s a myth of capitalism. Capitalism developed organically, not naturally… There’s a huge difference

    Throw 50 people into an empty resort for a week with nothing to do. What happens? They play games, they cook together, they go on hikes together, they start projects, they separate and return to the group as needed

    This isn’t a hypothetical. Have you never experienced the natural human state? No multi day reunions or weddings? Or living on campus at University? Just any situation where money isn’t really involved and everyone is around with lots of free time
