I sometimes often joke that there's a classic British comedy from the late 19th century called Three Men in a Boat, which is like my I Ching.
It's like we're having trouble hanging a picture.
Well, there's a section about that.
We're having trouble doing this.
Oh, well, there's a story about that, all of which are hilarious.
So Three Men and a Boat is my I Ching.
There's a book by I think William Cronin about the economic history of Chicago, which is fascinating and actually very relevant to technology because it's talking basically about standardization and packetization and logistics and channel conflict and network dynamics and network neutrality.
So like when the meat packers of Chicago reached the point that it's cheaper to ship a cow from New York to Chicago, kill it, pack it, and then ship it back to New York than to kill it in New York.
and the pricing of refrigerator cars.
And it's exactly like reading about Borbent.
It's all the same kind of business issues, which is fascinating.
What else have I read?
I don't know.
Read books.
Read different books.
Generally, read books for grown-ups.
please read something other than Lord of the Rings if you're going to name another company.
I saw this and what was the latest, like Peter Thiel company.
I was like, read another book.
Everything is named after a character from this one book.
