The post starts with this quote from Ayrton Senna, which is that this is a moment where you can actually pass a bunch of cars in front of you. And I think the reason that that creates the optimism for me is you are only limited at this moment by the scale of your ambition. This is something Ruloff asked a lot of founders, but like, what is the scale of your ambition?

This moment, you can go and pass 15 cars in front of you. And remember, you get to decide what race you're in. So if your company's worth $10 billion, this is a chance for you to be worth $100 billion. And if your company's worth $3 trillion, it's a chance for you to be worth $30 trillion.

And if your company's just getting started, you have a chance to beat people that you never thought you'd have a chance to beat. You get to choose the race you're in. So the reason that I think there's such an incredible optimistic moment here is there's going to be a bunch of change. None of us want to live in stasis. None of us want to be stuck where we are.

All of us want to have upward movement that comes from doing something great and like earning it. This is a moment where if you earn it, if you are willing to go and learn this stuff and go and just be committed to being excellent. The world is available to you in a way that it's never been before. You don't even need to hire a lot of people. Think about all the constraints that existed before.

If it's true that a 20-person company can do something that a 20-person company can never do before, It's so much easier to find 20 awesome people than it is to like run a 10,000 person org. That's so far away. You can do it faster. The thing for me is like for high agency, ambitious people, you've been given tools to like go enter a race you never knew possible. and to fucking win it.

That is so awesome. That is what I hope people get. It's not, yeah, sure, if you choose stasis, yeah, you might go into irrelevance. But if you choose optimism and you choose forward motion and you choose embracing this, there is no limit to what you can go and do. And that is the what a time to be alive thinking. That is the thing that makes you excited about your kids.
