Peter D. Kaufman

And sure, I get rejected a lot.

But I expect that going in.

And the amazing connections I develop are more than worth the few who don't reply.

and peter tests another question against his three buckets theory what is the most powerful force in the world that we can harness in the inorganic universe he cites einstein calling compound interest the most powerful force in the universe the greatest mathematical discovery of all time and the eighth wonder of the world

And Einstein observes that those who understand compound interest get paid by it and those who don't pay for it.

Peter's working definition of compound interest is dogged, incremental, constant progress over a long period of time.

So check bucket two, what about biology?

Well, what's the most powerful force in the 3.5 billion years of life?

Evolution.

And how does it work?

Dogged, incremental, constant progress over a very long time frame.

And what about human achievement?

Well, we have winning.

We have Olympic gold medals.

We have mastering an instrument, learning a language, and building Berkshire Hathaway.

What's the formula?

It's the exact same one.

Dogged, incremental, constant progress over a long period of time.

Three buckets, same answer.

This is jackpot.
