My dad is my best friend. We talk every day, often multiple times. Occasionally he says things that are so insightful I write them down. I've got a note on my phone called "Lessons from Dad". These are those lessons, in full color.

Before I worked in crypto, I thought that 99% of crypto was bullshit. Now that I work in crypto, I know for fact that 99% of crypto is bullshit. But that 1% is the future.

I interned at SpaceX in 2015 and had the exact opposite experience. The folks I worked with genuinely respected Elon. One senior engineer once told me Elon knew the fluid systems better than 90% of the ICs. Will just observe that Elon’s harshest critics tend not to be builders.

This is *exactly* as I imagined, and provides the most straightforward explanation for anyone still trying to grasp at complicated theories on how the "SpaceX genius" could possibly be so bad at this. tumblr.com/numberonecatwi…

If you catch colon cancer early, it's a simple 1-hr outpatient procedure to cure. One of the easiest. Last year, 1 in 3 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer died from it. This is almost entirely because we catch it too late. We're setting out to fix that.

This is a product that I am extremely excited about. Colorectal cancer unexpectedly kills tons of people, and of the small number of young people who are diagnosed with it, most notice it far too late. This device could easily help to change that.

When friends start homeschooling they are invariably shocked at how little time is needed for academics. School just fills the time.

I met a VC yesterday who told me “our primary value adds are connections and signaling” and I simply cannot find words for how hard we won't be following up with them when we raise next.
