This worship of efficiency kills creativity. Every transcript I have, every piece of research, I go over again & again, looking for detail, pattern, illuminating anecdote. It’s not efficient.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I’ve said it before, but, from the “metaverse” to the Apple goggles, there’s an odd insistence in big tech that customers want to live in a fake virtual world—even though every single one of those products has been rejected by the market, pretty clearly indicating that customers want no such thing.
