“Generally speaking, experience counts for something. So you'd expect entrepreneurs who've been through the ups and downs of a tech startup to have an advantage over the newcomers. Or at least have an equal chance at success. But in fact the opposite may be true. A number of venture capitalists I've spoken with have said that too many "old guard" entrepreneurs are not being bold enough in their business decisions, and it's hurting their startups.” MaySaidEnoughFactsHurtChanceDecisionNumbersEqualAdvantageOppositesEntrepreneurBeing TrueCapitalistVentureUps & DownsNewcomersBusiness DecisionsVenture Capitalists Author:Michael Arrington
“We have hitherto considered only two possibilities: that the received opinion may be false, and some other opinion, consequently, true; or that, the received opinion being true, a conflict with the opposite error is essential to a clear apprehension and deep feeling of its truth. But there is a commoner case than either of these; when the conflicting doctrines, instead of being one true and the other false, share the truth between them.” MayTwoFeelingsOpinionCasesClearSharePossibilityTruth IsConflictEssentialsOppositesErrorsDoctrineBeing TrueApprehensionDeep FeelingCommonersOthers Opinions Author:John Stuart Mill
“In face of this modern nihilism, Christians are often lacking in courage. We tend to give the impression that we will hold on to the outward forms whatever happens, even if God really is not there. But the opposite ought to be true of us, so that people can see that we demand the truth of what is there and that we are not dealing merely with platitudes. In other words, it should be understood that we take this question of truth and personality so seriously that if God were not there we would be among the first of those who had the courage to step out of the queue.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldFirstsHappensWould BeChristianFacesFormStepsModernPersonalityOughtDemandUnderstoodOppositesImpressionBeing TrueLackingNihilismWhatever HappensPlatitudesQueues Author:Francis Schaeffer

“Freethinkers reject faith as a valid tool of knowledge. Faith is the opposite of reason because reason imposes very strict limits on what can be true, and faith has no limits at all.
