"talent flows toward problems that institutions are willing to pay to solve" Reminds me of Groucho's Law: you should never work on something for which you can get funding. Why? Bc it means it's not adventurous enough. Tonge-in-cheek, but worth pondering regularly, IMO.https://twitter.com/nayafia/status/1022565754925809664 …

There's a Kevin Kelly piece somewhere where he talks about pitching writers on particular stories. He said most stories either a writer eventually followed up, or he (Kelly) got tired of pitching. But for some he couldn't let it go, & that's how he knew the pieces he had to write
Maybe we could rephrase point (2) at a different level of abstraction: are there competent institutions that will solve this problem? If so, then the human race has sorta got this covered.

I tend to feel this about the market. There are a lot of types of problems the market is just mind bogglingly good at solving. And so you don't need to worry about those problems being solved. Someone is on it!

Fun to think about things like SpaceX in this context, which dramatically changed the market.
