(highlight:: More generally, it’s unacceptable to perpetuate these problems under the banner of freedom, when actually they make us more vulnerable. Guns, food, cars, and drugs. It’s exploitation masquerading as freedom.
Many of the problems thus far have been problems of government. But companies and markets are not necessarily better. They too are still unacceptable and immature.)

Quote

(highlight:: As Sam Altman notes, spend 1 year exploring, then 4 years relentlessly focused on execution. Repeat.
Get two of these sprints in your career, and feel ok. Get five and feel satisfied. Achieve 10 sprints like this? S Tier status.
How can you find a problem to sprint on? Start by looking around you. Search for things that you find embarrassing, unacceptable, and immature. Get annoyed by them.
Then work on one for 5 years. Focus on outcomes. Be proud. Rest. Repeat.)
