a game that my parents like to play: never have i ever: - owned an emerald mine. - been born to one of the largest landowners in Texas. - looked on as my child swindled their friends out of a project to get rich quick and kept looking when their business model became a danger to democracy.

i dont think musk, bezos or zuck are good benchmarks for people taking risks.

i imagine them having about as much anxiety about which project next to fund as i have choosing socks. the striped ones that go over the knees but slip a little and have to be tugged upwards every now and then, or the short cute kitty socks that are a bit cold though?
