There was an old joke at Harvard Business School when Clay was still with us, which was they really – it's weird that they teach disruption as a theory in the business school when really it should just be a fact in the physics department.
And I love that.
I was there in 98 when he was writing the book and the paper and everything.
That's when I was teaching.
That's actually great.
And I really – I used to be – of course, there's a lore with everybody who's from a big company in Silicon Valley or when you arrive like I did.
The theory is always like you always think, oh, my God, we're just going to crush all of these little companies.
You always think that when you're at the big company.
And then you realize they never get crushed.
And Ben always makes this point.
Like, they just, and Mark does in his movie.
It was AWS actually put
business.
Right, right, exactly.
And because, you know, the startups don't aim straight at the incumbents, and the incumbents just don't pay attention.
The incumbents are only interested in what the other incumbents are doing.
Microsoft is worried way more about what Amazon and Google are doing than anyone in a startup space.
But the elements of disruption that matter are the cultural ones of being a big company, and those are constant.
Those are the laws of physics.
And so you can't – you just can't change those.
