Personal attacks rarely result in a constructive argument. I met Sam personally and was quite impressed by our conversations.

Everyone can have interesting ideas, even if other ideas in the same brain are not as good.
I liked this write up in particular.

Eye scanning isn't surveillance, right? It's identification?

Once a unique hash is associated with your being, you'll be surveillable even if mechanisms are in place to mitigate that.

Putting at #12 what structurally is #1, especially when your ancestors started with it and gave it to you... Or if you hold bitcoin for a few years.

In a blog post, Sam Altman, former president of startup accelerator Y Combinator, outlines his 13 thoughts on how to achieve outlier success, drawing from his observations of successful founders and his own experiences. Altman stresses the importance of compounding oneself, having self-belief, thinking independently, becoming good at “sales,” taking risks, focusing, and working hard. He also emphasizes the need to be bold, willful, and internally driven, as well as the importance of building a strong network and getting rich by owning things. Finally, Altman advises individuals to define their own metrics for success and to start early in pursuing their goals.

Having the idea to top all ideas, with all the knowledge and background needed to manage the idea, but no idea how to look for an investor and to afraid to give up the idea in the process, for fear of treachery. This is my dilemma! Amazing post, I think everyone should see it, all though I’m still left in the dark!!

Almost all great ideas get stolen and misattributed. If you're trying to change the world, you have to accept that it might happen to you. Edison didn't invent most of what he got credit for, Elon Musk didn't found Tesla, etc.
Finding good people to work with is the hardest part of almost everything in life, but the benefits compound. Literally no one is successful on their own.
