Regarding the Interview: Marc Andreessen. Outstanding!!

Patrick asks a question. --->Marc 15 min monolog of amazing things.

Repeat for 90 minutes.

And the thing is, a 15-minute monologue by Marc is a 30 minute monologue by most other people. He clearly thinks at an average speed that is in the top decile.

Oh yeah. 100% So true. He thinks at lightening speed.

to books from this one: Early Retirement Extreme is a philosophy book built first around principles rather than methods. It's an annual re-read for me. Two, The Great Beanie Baby Bubble, not *great* but a good period piece if you want some early internet memories, plus Ty the creator is damn sharp, not expected given the industry.

and given the ratio of tweets about your posts to comments on Substack, it's pretty clear that Twitter as a platform has potential.

Yeah, I get a lot of emails, and I've been encouraging people to write comments here instead (unless it's private in nature) because I'd love for readers to get to know each other and benefit from each other's replies. That feels the most win-win-win.

I remember Early Retirement Extreme, I read that blog a lot. It was earlier than Mr Money Mustache. Great stuff. I read MMM's whole archive chronologically.

those blogs demonstrate the biggest missing piece of substack, it's too hard to read backward on here. It's too tidy.

Yeah. And you get email notification on your own threads, but discoverability of what others have written is fairly low for those who read on email and not on the site.

Not sure what they can do about that.. 🤔

I wonder if there's some type of iFrame you can embed in emails... probably not, email clients probably don't want that.
