🔗 Robin Sloan - Pace layers

As you climb the pace layers, your sources of infor­ma­tion get fewer and far­ther between.

The Full Quote

As you climb the pace layers, your sources of information get fewer and farther between. Everyone has something to say about nature. But to remain relevant in the higher and more turbulent layers you must update rapidly, and be correct more often than not. Few people are worth listening to about commerce or fashion. Most people’s ideas are simply out of date. At a certain point you reach the edge of what is known or talked about at all, and there are only a few people left. I will find you there, among the researchers, the reporters, the shamans and the spies.

Another Sidenote: Why in the world is anyone on Twitter at all.. sorry ‘that’s where my audience is’ doesn’t cut it.

Get Off .. or continue to support all the depravity … all of it .. even the bits you can’t see .. it’s still there. Like racism in America before Tяump .. it didn’t magically appear .. it’s just come out of the shadows.

When your company is worth more than most nations, you cannot afford principles that inconvenience presidents. The moral equation changes. What once seemed unthinkable becomes necessary. Cook learned this the hard way after he skipped a presidential photo op and was thrown back under the tariff bus. So now he shows up. He sits in the front row. He claps when expected. This is what happens when valuation becomes destiny.

I have all the confidence in the world that President Trump has the legal authority, but more importantly, he’s doing the right thing.
