I'm afraid to say this is the best and I'm going to crush it. And like 99.9% of the people who are crushing it and who are changing the world and who are really, you know, building the future of our civilization, they're focusing on something.

You know, I think we're all really lucky today versus the past. I think it is true that the conditions under which all of us evolved, if you go all in on something and you fail, you might've starved to death. You might've been eaten by lions or some kind of giant old cave bear. You might've been crushed by the local tribes. So I think we all evolved statistically

to have existential risk and to be really afraid. And it's not that it's great not to have money in our society. I can't speak to that. Obviously, it's not great. But come on. It's not like 3,000 years ago where you might just die if you don't succeed. So I think there is enough of a safety net.

And listen, it's easier for me to say that coming from a middle-class family when I grew up that I knew my parents would be able to take care of me if something didn't work out. So obviously, I had some privilege. But I think a lot of people with that privilege still aren't willing to take the risk they should be.

That really ties into the 99.9% tile thing is like getting something just to be the absolute best. I remember working with him when I was 21 years old and there was some speech that was going to go on in New York the next day. And we were like basically pulling an all-nighter with a few of the guys in the office to be ready to like have this thing.

It was about inflation versus deflation and the risk for both of those. And it was just a natural thing to do to just try to make it like absolutely perfect before we're going to go present to the investors. And it was really funny. Actually, it was with Ken Howery, who's an ambassador to Now to Denmark, he was ambassador of Sweden last time. He was a good friend.

He was our age and very successful guy in the background. And we were just like going back and forth with him and a few others, just like working hard and then jumping on the plane and sleeping on the plane on the way over. And it's just like everything has to be as good as possible and you push as hard as possible, which if something was wrong, it's totally unacceptable.

west coast move fast break things mentality is there a tension between these 100 i think if you have really tight fast deadlines it's probably good so it had to be as perfect as possible given that it was coming due in the next day but we weren't going to be able to work on it for five weeks right so i think i think there is something about about really making things as strong as possible but but sprinting and having really tight deadlines and getting it done right away i think i think if you use perfection as procrastination then it becomes a problem
