  • 738 EXTRA 1984 And Brave New World Have Arrived

    https://thinkfuture.com | 1984 and Brave New World were warnings, not guidebooks, but we have turned them into them. Here we are, drinking from our SOMA feeds on our phones, going catatonic when our phones are taken away, and starting to censor art retroactively, like Roald Dahl's books, some of which are offending our newly sensitive palette. This is just plain wrong. The only artists who should be allowed to change their work are themselves. That art is a product of its time, and if we can censor fiction so blithely, what is to stop people from changing history to suit their tastes?

  • 735 EXTRA Startup Monday: The Demand Engine

    https://thinkfuture.com | During my stint in sales, I realized that sales are broken. Very, very broken. And since then, it's become even more broken. We are bombarded with thousands of sales messages, billions of spam messages, and hundreds of thousands of auto-calling bots daily. But, unfortunately, in all of this clamor, useful messages are getting lost. ย As an engineer, I thought there had to be a better way. There must be a way, I thought, to make this conversation more efficient. To programmatically create some engine that can create an optimal match between buyers and sellers โ€“ thus eliminating 99% of the junk on the internet โ€“ namely very poorly targeted sales messages. ย Ultimately, we can figure out a way to create an optimal matching engine that can reduce the massive amounts of daily sales messages we are burdened with. Even a robust โ€œdemand engineโ€ might help a lot.
