Lemmas
What I've come to believe
- I am most structurally downside capped today; all asymmetric risk is a lever for upside
- Learned wisdom and experience compound beyond any other asset; it is the only durable leverage in a world moving toward AGI.
- Creativity is language; through music, ideas, and building, we translate intuition into a form compatible with worldly understanding
- You become the average of the few people you spend the most time with; choose them deliberately
Corollaries
