Stripe's Patrick Collison | Micro Pessimism, Macro Optimism
Ғылым және технология
Navigating uncertain economic conditions is part and parcel of running a business. Yet, throughout challenging times, it’s critical that startups stay committed to continually pushing the possibilities of what technology can deliver, says Stripe CEO Patrick Collison. That means leading with the guiding principle “micro pessimism and macro optimism.”
Often, Collison says, this means having a relentless ability to be critical about the state of technology (including one’s own products) while still believing in its possibilities.That viewpoint acknowledges the structural tension companies face when trying to innovate in the context of economic reality, and can be the difference between persisting through challenging times or becoming a casualty of yet another tech boom and bust cycle.
Collison joined Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman on our Iconversations speaker series to discuss Stripe’s early days and its evolution into the payment and financial services platform giant it is today, and his advice to startups for navigating the predictable unpredictability of business.

It's hard since Walt Disney and Hollywood cause they too tried to get us out. I think the Japanese Manga seems to be getting it quite interestingly. Can try checking out their thought cause I think they gave English explaination.

Ok don't do anything first because the resurrection of Christ is near. We are trying to monetize from licensing and create value from what you are trying to create which is abstract. The bible is abstract too and that's so badly done to identify people. We just need to close the loop and redefine what is it we getting at because I know what it is but it's difficult to represent abstract stuff from just describing it.
He runs an awful company that scams small business and individuals
