What these subjects mean

ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

agency Acting on the world rather than waiting: what it does for work, whether it can be learned, and whether AI widens or takes it.

What John Collison actually said

  1. John Collison Co-founder of Stripe, which he started with his brother Patrick Collison
    As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
