100 candidats pour 1 poste ? «On crée 99 postes !» Et on abolit aussi les entretiens d'embauche, trop discriminants. Merci à ce génie syndical d'avoir résolu la rareté économique par décret magique. Prochaine étape : abolir la gravité parce que tomber, c'est injuste.

The event was phenomenal, greatly curated invitee list, amazing organization in a beautiful place and thoughtful conversations all around. Thanks for the invite team!
We invited 100 founders and investors to a gathering in the Alps. In their room, they found a newspaper dated September 16, 2036: some headlines read exactly as expected. Others seemed impossible, yet somehow they had happened. We hiked between mountain debate camps, pressure-testing today's consensus beliefs, then ran policy creation / simulation sessions to come up with strategies that competing futures would demand. This was, The Counterfactual. Thank you to our co-hosts @hanna_haya, @AndrejHenkler and Fadwa Ouardani (Leblon Capital), and to everyone who participated.

As an avid @davidsenra listener, I was glad to see my wife’s partner at Corient @MacalpineKurt on the show 🎧
Why a $525B wealth manager put his headquarters in Miami: “If you think about it with a totally clean slate, where do you want the headquarters for the business ultimately to be? I picked Miami.” “I think we're still in the early days of what we'll see in South Florida.” “We were by no means a pioneer of moving to Miami. But we were a little bit early relative to the flood of movement that’s happened on the back of us.” — Corient CEO Kurt MacAlpine

A peine deux semaines séparent ces deux images que j'ai prises chez @getqonto. D'un côté, des entrepreneurs qui prennent des risques et des responsabilités, construisent, partagent leurs expériences, leurs ambitions, qui croient au progrès. De l'autre, le résultat de quelques un qui préfèrent la destruction à la création, la victimisation à la responsabilité, la revendication à l'action. Bien sûr que c'est un peu schématique, que des frustrations sociales peuvent être légitimes, mais il y a une différence fondamentale entre vouloir changer le monde et le détruire, piller, brûler, casser, voler, agresser. Cette salle de réunion incarne bien, en tout cas, les choix que chacun a, et les futurs possibles auxquels chacun peut contribuer. Soutien total aux commerçants, personnel de nettoyage, aux ouvriers, au personnel de sécurité, à tous ces gens qui ne sont aucun des "favorisés" et qui vont encore payer les pots cassés de quelques irresponsables.

In a truly French fashion a lazy writer fooling self-centered intelligentsia will have done more for an aha-moment about the capabilities of AI than politicians gesticulating around Mistral and sovereign AI

The left is on a project to enforce equality, despite biology and markets. The goal of equality gives claim to the moral high ground, but contradicting biology and markets requires censorship and violence, which makes the whole project immoral.

A mentor of mine says that the first quality people boast about unprompted, they often lack the most
one of the hardest lessons to learn is that people tell you that which they wish to be true way more than they tell you that which is true. people who “don’t care about money” are dollar obsessed firms that “never break handshakes” will retrade constantly, etc

Intelligence is getting cheap. Courage isn’t. The scarcest input in the AI era may simply be people willing to act.

If your success or failure is judged by other people, rather than by nature or free markets, you’re playing a game, albeit a reified and social one.

Having a baby is like a successful venture portfolio: 90% of the experience is brutal, but the remaining 10% generates the 100x+ returns that more than compensate for everything else.

Fable feels like a polish freelancer. Shows up, speaks in its own dialect, writes the best code you've ever seen, and then disappears

the spacex ipo irks libs because they think meritocracy is a lib thing and it turns out meritocracy doesn’t actually exist and the closest thing thing to actual meritocracy is capitalism and they’re bad at it because it rewards risk-taking not credentialism
