I can't think of a better $3 you can spend today

Every pill you swallow is a radical leap of faith — that a corporation calculated keeping you alive serves shareholders better than the alternative.

From my new book, out May 26. incorruptible.co

Great to be in conversation with @ericries.bsky.social last week at @longnow.org for the first stop on his Incorruptible book tour! There‘a a not-so-quiet revolution underway — companies embedding their values through economic and legal structures that advance human flourishing.

I'm a little verklempt at how diversity enriches us in unexpected ways.

this is one of my favorite conspiracy theories

Book Tour Ideas for Incorruptible Book Launch My publisher is putting together the upcoming Incorruptible book tour, and I want suggestions for where I should go. Thanks! - Eric Ries

The Incorruptible book tour is coming together. Where should I go?

Suggestion box open 🗳️

Someone described two people to me by saying "they both work at Patagonia" as if that explained everything about them.
And honestly? It kind of did.
I was supposed to instantly understand their values, their lifestyle, their ethics.
So rare for a company name to communicate an entire worldview.

What’s wild about LLMs is that they will eventually prove or disprove many esoteric theories ranging from ancient spiritual wisdom to postmodernism - including many I was taught were unfalsifiable

how is anyone supposed to trust companies that act like this???

Eric Ries: Incorruptible by Design Launched by Stewart Brand in 02003, Long Now Talks has invited more than 400 leading thinkers to share their civilization-scale ideas.

Looking forward to hosting @ericries.bsky.social for a fireside chat at @longnow.org on April 7 in San Francisco. We'll be discussing his new book "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…and How Great Companies Stay Great." Come hang out!

Casey with an excellent clear-eyed analysis as usual

Long form is the good form

This is great reporting from @noamscheiber.bsky.social as usual. Patagonia is such a famously mission-driven company, and yet workers at the store level still feel they need to organize. Very curious to see how it plays out.
