Michael Jackson

"Degree of difficulty counts in the Olympics, it doesn't count in business. You don't get any extra points for the fact that something is very hard to do. So you might as well just step over one-foot bars instead of trying to jump over seven-foot bars."

Great point. You usually don't get rewarded more for doing the complicated thing in business, but many instinctively choose the more difficult path over the less so. You gotta love Buffett.

Michael Jackson 🦡

Too many in Europe have forgotten that tradeoffs are a real thing that grownups have to deal with.

Cool video here from Marques Brownlee and the Epic Spaceman. Shrink down and explore an Apple M5 computer chip. Great watch for anyone into semiconductors, transistors, and tech history.

Hooray for technology! Hooray for science! 👩‍🔬

“I think your experience of the world is largely a shoring up against the unpleasant truth that the world doesn’t know you’re here.” - Cormac McCarthy, ‘Stella Maris’.

Another gem from McCarthy for good measure, this time from ‘The Passenger’: “You would give up your dreams in order to escape your nightmares and I would not. I think it's a bad bargain.”
