Venkatesh Rao @vgrThe word “invest” has 2 distinct meanings in relation to capital: Invest (1): Spend money to build a capability. Example: a bridge, a factory, a mansion. Invest (2): Spend money to acquire a formal stake in an existing capability. Example: stock, bond, lien. 2 now dominates 1Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 8 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao @vgrCulture war wrangling has unfortunately become a key element in my consulting. It is now the 4th, and youngest manifestation of bullshit jobs. Bullshit jobs evolve in one of 4 ways: automation, outsourcing, trumpification, and now: wokification. Only the first 2 are survivableShow this thread2 replies 1 retweet 14 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao added,
Venkatesh Rao @vgrI'm becoming more snobby about work than I can probably afford to be from a financial perspective. Like Sherlock Holmes, I require "singular features" to take a case. I can spot the consulting equivalent of a "evidence of cheating spouse for a divorce case" a mile off now.Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

Swaroop added,
Venkatesh Rao @vgrBeen reflecting on wealth and success (in conventional sense, which may involve some combination of wealth, fame, accomplishment, historic impact, etc) lately. Both are things I am not personally very motivated by. But they are not things I have a problem with either.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
