I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.

Here's an example of a corporation demonstrating positive socio-economic change:

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses.

I grew up in Silicon Valley and I can testify what you already know: venture capitalists and tech CEOs are just dumb kids with a lot of money. Many of them landed in their positions by chance alone. We are not obliged to give them more credence than anybody else.

Did that happen to you?

What is so bad about living with your parents? That's still the norm in many parts of the world. For some reason western countries, and especially America, have exaggerated the benefits of being financially independent, as if shared resources were some kind of failure.

I beg to differ. The only people who lose when we share resources are the capitalists.

I've got a few friends in their thirties who live with their parents and the whole family is very happy. And although my kids are only six and three, I can't imagine any reason why I wouldn't want them to continue living in my house for as long as they needed support.

We all need support. It's not a shame. It's an asset more valuable than property, imho.

Damn. I've got the Mountain Dew drinkers riled up.

"Possibly causes cancer" is sufficient for me to never the touch the stuff. Please stop drinking these things. They're literally addictive.

Probably stepping down to sit on the board instead.
