“Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword.” I love how we just take away the first piece of information whenever we quote it. Sword is mightier in the world of Chaos, Pen is mightier in the world of Order. Choose carefully where you live.

One of the best threads I have read on fund raising in awhile. 100% agree with these ethos.
I've raised $20M from funds like Index and QED. Friends will call me to chat through raising, so I thought I'd share publicly. Please take with a grain of salt :) I'll first post some learnings on pre-seed/seed. If folks like it, I'll do thoughts on raising an A in this market. 👇🧵

This trend has a boringly obvious explanation. Boys and girls used to hang out together more. The girls made the boys more liberal and the boys made the girls more conservative. But now the boys are at home playing shooter games, and the girls are at home posting on Instagram.

Something I taught 14 yo: People tend to underestimate how much things can change, and this causes them to undervalue ideas that aren't viable now but could be in the future.

Peter Thiel: "Elite students climb confidently until they reach a level of competition sufficiently intense to beat their dreams out of them. …institutionalized education traffics in a kind of homogenized, generic knowledge. But life is not a portfolio: not for a startup founder, and not for any individual. [A]n individual cannot diversify his own life by keeping dozens of equally possible careers in ready reserve. The most important things are singular."

Which cooking oil is the best? Is it refined oil or olive oil? Mustard oil or ghee? I have written about this previously, but given so much of misconceptions around it, here’s a thread demystifying cooking oils to help you choose the right one!

You’re not a real founder until someone you love expresses serious doubt about your ability to succeed.

The last few tickets can be purchased on techroast.carrd.co and insider.in/roast-of-tech-s1-… If we have tickets left by Sunday, we would move to Series A round. Also, comedy is just like sex, best enjoyed live. So don't expect recordings. . . . .Even on my OnlyFans.

How excited am I for this? @avinash_dtu is like my brother from another mother. He is doing amazing things building @TomoClub_edu, and I'm thrilled to be able to jam on this topic of interest for all parents - Is my kid making progress? Hope you can join us!
To address that, @TomoClub_edu is organising a webinar on 27 Sept, Tuesday, 10AM PST with @ShaunaSSCS , Founder of @invatalearn who has been a teacher, and mother herself. Register for free: lu.ma/Webinar_4 #webinar #education #learning #tomoclub #kids #parenting
