In case you are not a FlatEarther
|
Sometimes I’m heavily criticised. And I love it. Just awakening consciences. ​ You oversimplify. Things are not that black or white. The situation was complex. Etc. ​ And yes. It’s true. ​ Simplification is important in our lives. Unless you’re a FlatEarther, you won’t be surprised if I say that the Earth is round. Or spherical. ​ But that’s an oversimplification, because it’s not. However, for your day to day, that simplification is enough. You don’t care if the radius of the Earth is a few kilometres shorter in the poles. It’s irrelevant. I’m in the business of making things possible, not Accademia. Practicity and action, not talking and talking about the gender of the angels. What it’s really important, not irrelevant footnotes. ​ If you are not a FlatEarther of infrastructure, this is perfectly valid for you. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

The SPV was bleeding cash faster than it could spell “refinancing.” Of course, everyone looked at the guys in suits… So the lenders felt the pressure and for once, they worked a little bit. They exercised their step-in rights. Poor...
There are only 4 types of personalities. Goldfinches, parrots, pigeons, and foxes. That’s how the world is organized.Goldfinches sing, parrots repeat, pigeons wander around, and foxes feast on goldfinches, parrots, and pigeons. Goldfinches talk. They tell everyone how things should be done. They write books about Marx, give lectures to entrepreneurs, and preach about how the economy ought to work. Parrots repeat. They vote, cheer, kneel, lick, suck, swallow, and when a stranger scores a goal,...
Consultants thrive in complexity. And mostly, because they are the cause of complexity. If it’s to simple, too easy, “they’ll” pay less. That’s life. Just like some MBAs… they get longer adding non-sense stuff, just to justify higher prices. But that’s for another day. Well… nothing is more dangerous for the taxpayer that an army of consultants with no general at the helm. They rapidly discover that they can print money but adding a few pages more to their reports. Or more comments. More...
