I think there's ways we could eliminate the private prison system by out-competing them with better incentives and align those incentives towards recidivism.
Yes, recidivism.
I'm sorry, I'm destroying myself.
And then the other was trying to fix national security.
And so this is the one I ended up in.
But none of those three things sound like fun things to work on, but they're important things.
Well, it depends on if it's a field that I know a lot about or don't know a lot about.
If you know a lot about something, it's easier to get right into the iterative side of things and know that you're probably on a pretty reasonable path.
In that case, iteration is a valuable tool to move very quickly, find out what works, find out what doesn't, and then continuously make it better.
The risk with going with a strongly iterative approach in areas that you maybe don't understand
and you might even think you do, but let's say you truly don't, is that there might be much better approaches that you should have started iterating on or that you should have examined before you committed to one particular path.
I talked about this earlier, but it's really about going back to the future.
I love to go and see what everyone else who solved this problem thinks about it, not in the recent times.
I don't want to know what my competition looks like because when I started Oculus,
I wasn't looking at what existing companies were doing in VR because clearly they were all doing it wrong.
Whatever they were doing was not working.
I was not gonna look around at the handful of VR companies that existed in that time and learn anything except how to fail.
So I wanted to look into the past.
What were people thinking when they were thinking bigger?
when they were willing to look at wackier paths, when they were willing to consider things that have been eliminated, often because technologies just weren't ready.
