“The Bush Administration believes the Kyoto protocol could damage our collective prosperity, and in so doing, actually put our long-term environmental health at risk. Fundamentally, we believe that the protocol both will fail to significantly reduce the long-term risks posed by climate change and, in the short run, will seriously impede our ability to meet our energy needs and economic growth.” NeedsBelieveLongRunningEnergyGrowthTermAbilityFailingRiskEconomicMental HealthClimateEnvironmentalClimate ChangeProsperityAdministrationLong TermDamageCollectivesEconomic GrowthProtocolKyotoKyoto ProtocolEnvironmental Health Author:Lawrence B.

“All I am asking is that we follow the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is fundamentally a moral issue, not an economic issue.

“Essentially, not only do we believe in this myth of 'de-risking', but it has become the one overriding goal; de-risking above growth, de-risking above innovation, de-risking above everything else. And we've reached the point where the Fed is using $70 Billion a month to 'de-risk' a largely insolvent banking system. And this can only end badly. The idea that you can do capitalism without risk is ridiculous on its face.” BelieveIdeasEndsFacesGoalGrowthCan DoRiskMonthsCapitalismInnovationMythBillionsRidiculousFedsBankingBanking System Author:Andreas Antonopoulos

“Sometimes we forge our own principles and sometimes we accept others' principles, or holistic packages of principles, such as religion and legal systems. While it isn't necessarily a bad thing to use others' principles - it's difficult to come up with your own, and often much wisdom has gone into those already created - adopting pre-packaged principles without much thought exposes you to the risk of inconsistency with your true values.” LifeSometimesUseValuesDifficultGrowthAcceptingPrinciplesGoneRiskPersonal GrowthInvestingCome UpBad ThingsPackagesHolisticAdoptingInconsistencyLegal SystemTrue Value Author:Ray Dalio

“The entrepreneurial struggle is the same at basically every stage in the sense that there's maybe slightly less risk but strategic issues are generally always the same. Now there's so much existential risk from another company either being able to compete or to disrupt you in the same way you're disrupting somebody else, an entrepreneur needs a real steady partner who has the ability to start working with them in the Seed or the A and be credible and value-add with strategic advice, and just be backstopped by so much capital that you can do any growth round or even a public round.” RealGrowthAbilityStruggleRiskAdviceEntrepreneurSteadyExistentialEntrepreneurial Author:Chamath Palihapitiya
