      Questions I'm thinking about... 1. How can we improve small group learning + communication? When small group trust is high, you can explore fringe and controversial ideas. In 1-on-1 chat, communication has to be symmetric. In group chats, you can consume more than you produce.

      2. How can we accelerate the spread of interesting ideas? Many of the best ideas are trapped inside people’s heads. If we can lower the barriers to idea sharing, we can accelerate society’s pace of learning. Most of the world's smartest people don't share *anything* publicly.

      3. When should we trust tradition and when should we trust novelty? The world is changing... fast! Media. Money. Careers. Relationships. Government. You name it. Sometimes, it’s wise to trust the wisdom of time. Sometimes, it isn’t. How should we evaluate this dilemma?

      4. How can we improve reading? Food for thought: 1. Personal recommendation engines for books. 2. Marketplaces for annotations, summaries, and takeaways. 3. Internet-native book clubs with experts and friends with similar interests. 4. Software to improve reading retention.pic.twitter.com/ckBHJ36tJW

      5. How does technology influence geography? Ideas to consider: 1. You can work from anywhere, but people are moving to cities. 2. Will we have more countries or fewer countries? 3. How will 3D printing influence global supply chains? 4. What's the future of Bretton Woods?

      7. How can we accelerate personal feedback loops? Many problems in life can be fixed with a tight feedback loop. Software can incentivize productive behavior by helping us visualize the long-term benefits of good behavior and pull the pleasure of good behavior forward.

      8. How can video accelerate learning? We under-rate social and visual learning. Humans are great at copying people they admire. Through videos, we can transmit behaviors that can’t be shared through text and young people increasingly learn through video. Massive opportunity!

      9. How can we help people in their 20s pursue ambitious projects? In your 20s, your energy levels are sky-high and you have very few commitments. Student debt is the biggest constraint. If you're drowning in student debt, earning a high salary has to be your #1 priority.
