Recently thinking about effective sibling relationships wrt startups, e.g. @kimbal/@elonmusk & @patrickc/@collision. A natural, fully-trustworthy partner who’s easy to sync with = massive force multiplier, w/ compounding effects from childhood on?

Forget trusting/syncing w/siblings - I've always been a little perplexed at the lack of *identical twins* among really successful people. (There's a slight health/intelligence penalty being a twin, yes, but that doesn't seem remotely enough to explain the absence.)

Not sure. Coordination is overrated? Being different in a collaboration is in fact extremely important? One twin is, despite genetics/upbringing, still too likely to be a 'weakest link' and hold the other back/be jettisoned? Twinship itself destroys creativity/risk-taking?

I've previously wondered if (unconsciously) people only seek to excel if they have cues telling them that there is an empty high place they stand a good chance of doing best in, thereby gaining status in exchange for their risks. Maybe a twin never feels best enough.

Yeah, twins're rougher on mothers, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad for the twins. There's a lot of fetus/mother conflict and other things which means that something can be good for one and not the other. (As it happens, twins do pay a price but it seems to be small.)
