    inspiration

    roelofbotha:

    every now and again i meet a special entrepreneur. someone who has built a solution to a personal problem. someone who can crisply and articulately describe his or her company’s distinctive value proposition. someone who is driven to make an impact on the world. 

    the exhilaration of such a meeting is intoxicating. i have been fortunate to experience that a few times in my life.

    one of those meetings took place this week, and the adrenaline is still coursing through my veins. 

    Sequoia meeting David Karp in 2010.

    The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

    The Ultimate AI Brain

    parislemon:

    Steven Levy interviewed Ray Kurzweil about his new role at Google. On the topic of having the courage to follow your convictions:

    Levy: What’s the biological basis for that kind of courage? If you had an infinite ability to analyze a brain, could you say, “Oh, here’s where the courage is?”

    Kurzweil: It is the neocortex, and people who fill up too much of their neocortex with concern about the approval of their peers are probably not going be the next Einstein or Steve Jobs.
