We will always remember the millions of victims murdered during the Holocaust.
But remembrance is not an aim in itself.
We must go a step further.

The acquihire / small value part of the acquisition market remains an essential component of Startupland’s model. Small acquisitions provide liquidity, help incumbents staff new initiatives, & continue the forward progress for the ecosystem.

In the 19th century Paris was torn down and totally rebuilt according to the urban plan of just two men.
It might be considered one of the world's most beautiful cities now, but people at the time hated this new version of Paris...

Even IBM doesn't care much about patents any more. The idea that anyone can measure technological progress with an analysis of patents and papers is a triumph of hope over real world experience. Breakthroughs now are more often result of collaborative work.fortune.com/2023/01/06/ibm

The Lebanese and Indians in Africa understand that the supermarket is a real estate business where you rent shelf space. Other Africans do not. They think it is about buying and selling with your capital. This explains why the first group is doing better than the last one.

When I go to Japan I barely feel any jet lag and it's gone in a day.
When I come back to the U.S. I go to sleep at 5 AM and wake up at 2 PM and it takes me a week to adjust back to something vaguely resembling normal.
