Chamath Palihapitiya did not write this page.

We collected these quotes from things they published elsewhere, and every quote links to where it was said. They have no account here and have not endorsed this site. Quotes are word for word; the short line under each one is our own restatement, not their wording. Their own site. Is this you? Claim it or ask us to remove it. Or tell us what is wrong here.

4 of Chamath Palihapitiya's claims fit 3 mental models. Most often: Positioning, Learning machine, Margin of safety.

Models we see in what they say

Our reading: their claim applies the idea without naming it. The claim is theirs; filing it here is ours.

Positioning

Set up your situation, rules and defaults so the good choice is the easy one, instead of relying on willpower.
