Brace yourselves for my Controversial Opinion of the day: I think I'm enjoying Legends of Dune more than the original series. I'm only on book 2, and of course there were books in the main 6 I really enjoyed, but these are just more consistently engaging 👀

Great strategy, positioning, marketing, and products read as “simple,” because they're born from clear thinking and writing. The process was likely messy, painful, protracted. Like an Olympian making it "look easy." Greatness appears effortless, but never is.

In zero-sum marketing games, startups lose to incumbents. Ex: Big companies over-pay for AdWords; you never get good spots. Startups should play non-zero-sum games, like social media and newsletters, where incumbents are powerless. More ways to win:

Always seek data; never act on data alone. Because not looking at the data is just ignorance, but believing that all important things are in the data, or that the data are measuring what you think they're measuring, is also folly.

Most innovation is recombination and one of the big issues in science is that fields are too vast for scientists to bridge them to find connections

As you can imagine, I’ve got some pretty big professional opinions on that twist and that context… but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Making confident assertions without regard for whether they’re true or false is known as ‘bullshitting’. That would make acting without regard for morality while claiming to be moral moral bullshitting. Are we all moral bullshitters? buff.ly/41gPxEZ
