I think that's the goal. It's not complicated. I always say to people, if you're building something that you wouldn't let your kid use, don't build it.
I think that's the goal. It's not complicated. I always say to people, if you're building something that you wouldn't let your kid use, don't build it.
Don't build it. That's the point. That's the simple test.

That's the simple test.
And that's the worrying part.
And that's the worrying part.
And that's the worrying part, right? Because then you're saying I'm happy to exploit other people's children, but not mine.

And by the way, and it's really important, no one's doing it perfectly, neither am I. It's a constant balancing act. You're constantly trying to figure it out and figure out, oh, well, where did my intention get messy there? And, oh, maybe I shouldn't have said yes to that. Yeah, totally.

That is the work. The moment you stop questioning... that's when you lost yourself. Like the moment you stop thinking about ego and envy and greed and pride, that's the day it's taken over your life.

And that's what I have to do.

I think it is actually what ends up happening is you make the mistake, you plant a weed, it destroys all the other garden. You go, oh crap. And that's the reality of moving fast. I'm the same as you. I've made so many mistakes in the last 10 years because we're moving so fast. It wasn't intentional. It wasn't conscious.
