@adv8p @NielsHoven Niels is profiting off of concerned parents and a broken education system. Rather than help fix it, he promotes its brokenness, attempting to persuade parents that their child, even at an extreme young age, needs to be the best because school will fail them.

What a treat hearing @MentavaInc get namedropped in @EricNewcomer and @mlchild's AI Summit wrap-up!
Jump to 48:00 for the good stuff: "This app is teaching my daughter to read years ahead of when she would be learning these things in school."
Love it! Thanks Eric & Max!

That's because the Democratic Party defines improving education as "equalizing outcomes", and parents absolutely hate that shit

The Democratic Party basically never talks about improving primary education as a national issue and I find it super bizarre.

I used to think this way but now believe it’s far better to be at a successful startup. (“Any seat on a rocketship”)
Yes, every failed startup contains at least one valuable lesson. And the most important lesson from a successful startup is usually just “be at the right place at the right time”.
But there’s an infinite number of ways to fail and a much smaller number of ways to win.
Being able to pattern match to at least one successful execution is far more valuable than the ability to avoid one out of infinity failure modes.

@john_c_palmer @levelsio but in all seriousness i think it's actually much better to learn from failures because every success scenario is going to be biased to what SPECIFICALLY worked for that SPECIFIC startup + founder(s)

When it comes to education, it’s easy for people to see that overfocusing on “equal outcomes” and holding back high achievers leads to worse outcomes for everyone.
But people's intuition for macroeconomics is not as good as it is for education.
So we start talking about wealth disparity, and they fall into the exact same trap of thinking that focusing on "equalizing outcomes" is going to be a good idea.
Reducing wealth inequality is about equalizing outcomes, which is analogous to overfocusing on closing the achievement gap.
Focusing on closing the achievement gap means holding back high achievers (“tax the rich”)
Instead, we should focus on maximizing all students’ learning (which does grow the achievement gap) and maximizing quality of life for everyone (which does grow wealth inequality)
