1/ Lately, I've been reading books from VCs, trying to fill in more areas of my Silicon Valley ecosystem mental map. Most recently I read The Hard Thing About Hard Things (@bhorowitz) and Secrets of Sand Hill Road (@skupor), since @a16z seems to win the most.
Oh yea. But, it's also unrelated to how I am conceptualizing "success" in this thread, which is mass consumer adoption of tech that values privacy. One product may be a vehicle for that, but "success" for me is a new ecosystem. I don't think you get there with privacy-first.

I agree that success is a new ecosystem. I wonder if "privacy first" is the wrong starting point, though. I wonder if passing a law that says "No non-anonymized user data may be collected by corporations" would work, just introducing constraints that work towards our goals?

That seems *kinda* like what
@tristanharris and@aza are doing at@HumaneTech_. If governments use regulations to shape ecosystems, then this is one that needs shaping! I'm just not sure we'd ever get anything like that in the US political climate...
