Something I explained to 9 yo on the way to school: When something is hard to predict, you can sometimes still solve the problem by designing a system that doesn't require accurate prediction. Early stage startup outcomes are hard to predict. YC's solution: fund a lot of them.

Actual 9 year olds are far smarter than most people's models of 9 year olds. My youngest sister (9) is better at coding than my younger sister (18).

As a blacksmith (who doesn’t shoe horses) I can confirm that I talk to my 9 year old about gates, railings, furniture and the properties of different metals. He’s mostly interested in weapons though.
