At it’s core, I believe in pushing the boundaries of what we know while min-maxing individual suffering and happiness. I label this term as “progress”.

Progress comes from taking calculated risks, doing contrarian things, and never being satisfied.

Here’s a great quote from Nat Friedman:

As human beings it is our right (maybe our moral duty) to reshape the universe to our preferences

Currently, I am working as hard as I can to create lots of value for the world. I believe that this is the only scalable way to accomplish meaningful things and push civilization forward.

Some other things I believe:

• Great Man Theory is real and ruthlessly impartial
• Scale is an indication of something that matters
• Free markets are the necessary underpinning of modern society
• Empiricism prevents idealogical drift
• Decision quality is the best leadership metric
• Easy companies are just as hard as hard ones
• Small teams get more done
• Moving quickly is important
• Impact over happiness, happiness comes from impact
• Markets inefficiently trend toward efficiency
• You really can just do things
