If the proximate purpose of technology is to reduce scarcity, the ultimate purpose of technology is to eliminate mortality.

When you are keenly aware of your own struggles but blind to others’, it’s easy to assume you’re missing some skill or secret that others have.

For the first-timers on the mountain—the crowds and the chaos might have seemed normal.
But the Sherpas knew better.
Hundreds of them were scattered on the high slopes that night, and many of them understood that the mountain had never seen anything like this.

RSG Rabbit holes
A 10-day, high-signal reading list on Status.
A few months ago, I went down the rabbit hole of studying status. I read a bunch of articles and learned a ton. I absolutely loved it.
That got me thinking – would people be interested in reading a curated set of great articles on a single topic? Besides, would they be open to paying for it?
There was only one way to find out – launch something and see what happens. So that’s what I did.
A 10-day email course that curates the best articles around status and its role in human society.
You’ll get one email a day, each with a great article about Status.
Some will be short reads (<10 minutes), some slightly longer (~30 minutes), and some will be mega-articles (~1 hour).
In addition to these emails, you’ll also get a Notion template with the entire list of articles, my highlights from each one, and a space for you to save notes from each article.
I’ve priced it at $10.
