I keep a list of good but impossible questions my four-year-old asks me: What is the shape of heaven? Is God a little boy? What color is love? He is convinced his mother knows nothing.

One thought on the Coldplay Tryst that’s important for companies: nothing irks me more than calling a company a family. It is not a family. It is not the same kind of relationship, love or commitment that you have to your kin. You shouldn’t have a “work wife” or treat your job with the same reverence you treat your children. Your company isn’t your baby. Your wife isn’t your cofounder (unless she literally is, which is great. Family businesses are awesome.) But when we get this order of love and duty confused— and the language gets muddled— a lot of horrible things can happen.

It’s only been about 16 years, so it’s understandable that many normal people still don’t realize that we’re all living our lives in public.

At @reindsummit 2.0 this week, I met with leaders driving the future of American manufacturing and maritime innovation. Rebuilding our industrial base is a strategic imperative. The clock is ticking. Today, our shipyards are too few. Our industrial workforce is shrinking. Our programs are over budget and behind schedule. This is a threat to our readiness and our national security. We are taking action by rebuilding our maritime strength. WATCH:

The body positivity movement was a massive mistake, and the pendulum has swung so far back that the internet now feels entitled to attack a normal mother of three pushing fifty or a woman in her sixties who doesn’t use botox. Pam Anderson and Jennifer Love Hewitt were uncommonly beautiful women. They’ve exited the maiden phase of their lives. They have loving families and their priorities right. Young women are becoming more terrified of pregnancy, and this is one of the reasons: you can’t expect older women to look like teenage boys if you want a healthy and fertile society.

US per capita energy usage peaked in 1973. China's has increased 9x since then. We forgot how to build mega projects. Our grid has ossified. Our partner @rmcentush explains:

Strong opening Call to Arms by @2112Power - "We're in a Generational Fight"

During travel season, I always reflect on how much the experience of travel has changed in the last 20 years. The greatest annoyance 25 years ago was finding the cool stuff. It was so difficult to know what was great and what was trash, and you had to chance it, risk it, ask around and hope for the best. Travel came with a lot of serendipity and some of that included mild disappointment, but often delight, too. A lot of rolling the dice and not knowing. Now the opposite is true— it’s even harder to find serendipity or undiscovered gems. Every hole in the wall has been reviewed ad nauseam. Everything manufactured for reviews and Instagram. It’s fine in that it saves you time. But the discovery part of travel has long past. And those of us old enough to remember the before times might not feel as wild about travel anymore, mainly because it’s not the same.

Wow @2112Power of @HadrianInc just gave a banger opening speech @reindsummit
