No #Hindi in this 10 rupee note but there is #Tamil.

If this is what the experience of ex CM of Karnataka then imagine how new entrants of KA are treated in delhi

best advice I got in the last year: follow interesting people on Twitter. last year I started following everyone I thought was interesting. learned about them from a blog post or when they were a guest on a podcast. it has increased the breadth and pace of learning.

@svembu An Indian sociologist also thought deeply on this problem and wrote a paper few decades ago. More than your question on "Can" India marshall it's will power, it will answer ''Why" we couldn't till now - "Hinduism and economic development in India"

Many people will happily pay 1% advisor fees, never realizing the fees will quietly add up to $300,000+ over their lifetime... ...but they will instantly reject the idea of paying $500/hour for a great tutor, coach, or lawyer Why do you think this is?

(Thread - yet to go through it fully) New Education Policy (#NEP - ) has a few things that are critical: • Good news for languages. • Anything "not mandatory" in this country has to be taken with a grain of salt. We've seen Aadhaar and then Aarogya Setu.

1/ There’s an opportunity to turn remote education from a weakness to a strength — from a badly rendered “sage on a stage” (constant in education for 100s of years, but *worse* online!) to individualized instruction. To see why, let’s take a trip to 1984 — not Orwell, but Bloom

Holy sh*t... I'm reading through the US Congress' trove of internal Google docs (avail here: ). They keep saying the quiet parts loud. A thread of anti-competitive, unequal-treatment, and sometimes shockingly brazen use of their monopoly powers /1

@jjude I enjoyed how well-rounded your approach is.

For 500 days I've written 500 words of Morning Pages. While they're usually just brain dumps, I'll sometimes reflect on specific questions. As @tferriss says, if you want better answers, ask better questions. -My Top 10 Reflection Questions (and where I got them)- [THREAD]

@eriktorenberg His 1979 book Distinction is a classic and introduced many important concepts in the field.

"If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing." — W. Edwards Deming

2/ This search for the magic cure manifests itself in numerous ways that are subtle and hard to detect. Charlatans actively promote magic cures. Many smart people fall for it. How do we defend ourselves from it? Distance and perspective.

There are 5 types of successful paid communities. Those that: 💰 Save you money 💸 Make you money ⭐️ Get you closer to a VIP 🧠 Teach you a skill 🗣 Fuel an obsession Here’s an example of each....

I believe @SubstackInc has built an incredible business on the back of these three theses: 1. The power of niches 2. Email is here to stay 3. Creators love creating. They don't love everything else.

0/ 🧵 At Doist, we have for 10+ years competed against Google, Microsoft, and Apple in the hyper-competitive market of todo apps. Some thoughts follow on how you can compete against trillion-dollar Goliaths. I'll start with examples, and end with core principles.

@SparksZilla @patrick_oshag Getting there, slowly but surely More coming next week

Every meeting has two types of people in it. Those with power and those without. Most people tend to think of power in terms of job titles and positions on the organizational chart. 1/

Some ways to write a good introduction: ∙ Start with a surprising story ∙ Lead with what's counter-intuitive ∙ Create suspense ∙ Share a half-told story ∙ Ask a question, but don't share the answer Aim to ignite your reader's curiosity.

@kevin2kelly 's New Rules for the New Economy [A Thread]. As turbulence and instability become the norm in business. These are more relevant than ever.

@mkobach How to write better tweets: 1. One idea per tweet 2. Cut unnecessary words 3. Clarity first. Wit second. 4. Two links max. 5. Format for readability. :)

What is one book that is incredibly practical and actionable, but is hard to find or no longer in print?

Paid newsletters are over-rated: it’s grueling work, your best thinking is stuck behind a paywall, and selling products is much more profitable

Poverty is multidimensional in Nigeria. If it doesn't catch you in your pocket, it will catch you in your mind, if you escape it in your mind it will catch you in your health, if you escape it in your health it will catch you in your safety. 200m Nigerians are poor not 82m

Aswath Damodaran has produced an enormous amount of excellent investing literature over the yrs. This is one of my absolute fav docs of his - "The Corporate Life Cycle". 👏 cc: @Gautam__Baid @saxena_puru @dmuthuk (Opening on Desktop will be faster).

Highly recommend this phenomenal @IRENA resource: 30 (!) mini-reports on enabling technologies, market designs, business models, and system operation approaches for integrating high penetrations of variable renewable energy.

@david_perell Yes, but this stems from the misconception that they are only chosing ice-cream For most people, social pleasure outweighs the add'l pleasure from chosing a specific flavour But sometimes "social" IS where you need to innovate (aka if we were blindfolded we would chose Pepsi)

I keep seeing all kinds of crazy reports about people's experiences with GPT-3, so I figured that I'd collect a thread of them.

There are over 300 Ramayanas. In the book "Ancient Geography of Ayodhya", Ram was born in Herat, Afghanistan. The book "The Vedic People: Their History & Geography" also says that Ram was born in Afghanistan. Thailand claims that the original Ayodhya is in Thailand. #Thread

One of my favorite questions to ask people is “what is something you changed your mind on recently and why?”

The Icecream Principle: Tell 10 people to get ice cream. If they have to agree on a flavor, they'll pick chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't agree on what's cool or interesting. They agree on what's easy. "Consensus" is just another way of saying average.

If you're wondering how you can support me, I don't have a Patreon but I do have a 2021 Calendar of tricks to appear smart in meetings that's out TODAY! Here's a thread of a few of my favorites... 1. Say "it is what it is"

The “secrets” to peak productivity are a healthy diet, regular exercise, cutting back on alcohol, and 7-8 hours of sleep every night. All the productivity hacks in the world will never make up for a lack of the fundamentals.

@NicoleKOwens There are currently 21 countries with female leaders. How are the other 14 doing? È.g. Bangladesh, Myanmar, Serbia, Greece (doing quite well), Ethiopia, Liberia, Estonia, and others. I’d guess it’s a mixed bag but above average overall cf those w male leaders.

@jjude @nealkhosla @Shripriya @m_ashcroft @JenVermet @jjude I knew you’d have something interesting to say, and man, did you deliver. Love it.

Serendipity in the age of WFH is of the most needed digital innovations. Steve Jobs on this: There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions.

“What is investment? Usain Bolt won 8 gold medals in 3 Olympics, and he only ran for less than 115 seconds on the track, earning $119 million dollars. That’s economy of effort. But for those 2 minutes, he trained for 20 years. That’s investment. Think long term. Patience pays.”

❓I’m curious - If you had to choose only one, which book had the most profound impact on you BEFORE you turned 18?

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to find an article on Google about why someone moved away from Substack. I moved away from Substack. Here’s why... Thanks for the inspiration @Mat_Sherman /thread

@davidu Bankruptcy law let’s you try and fail but not end up in debtors prison.

What are examples of specific government policy decisions or laws that created a major and lasting entrepreneurial opportunity? Not an approach or broad point of view, but a specific law or mandate?
