“We treat the future like a distant colonial outpost devoid of people, where we can freely dump ecological degradation, technological risk, and nuclear waste, and which we can plunder as we please.” The Good Ancestor: A Radical Prescription for Long-Term Thinking, Roman Krznaric

@JasonHirschhorn @joshelman Great to see this. A few things to add. Kaplan’s “Startup, a Silicon Valley Adventure” about the rise and fall of “Go” belongs on this list. “The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story” isn’t fiction. It may read like fiction, because Michael Lewis is such a great writer;it isn’t.

Rethinking “progress” (and “wild” humans). “Don’t talk about “progress” in terms of longevity, safety, or comfort before comparing zoo animals to those in the wilderness.” From “The Bed of Procrustes,” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb https://t.co/gNSDG7EMXs #SundayThoughts

@imkialikethecar @Joshmedia The best explanation is probably to be found in a book: Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley’s Bill Campbell. https://t.co/ENaQUcsq4q

Today I started to read “The New Builders,” a just released book by (@sether) Seth Levine and Elizabeth McBride. Based on what I’ve read so far, it’s going to be incredibly relevant for me and for anyone who cares about entrepreneurs and entrepreneur success. #Today
