Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. But when a majority of people expect a top 5% outcome the result is guaranteed mass disappointment.
  2. I think the majority of society problems are all downstream of housing affordability.
  3. Every economic issue is complex, but this one seems pretty straight forward: we should build more homes. Millions of them, as fast as we can.
  4. The internet is unique in the history of technology because there’s a list of things it improved (communication, access to information) but another list of things it likely made worse for almost everybody
  5. Cycles are so hard to predict, because it’s easier to forecast in straight lines.
