Chamath says there's no such thing as failure, because no one is actually thinking about you "There is no failure. That is what other people think of you to keep you down." "If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and... move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you." "But here's the secret: they don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives." "So it's your perception of what they think of you. There is no failure. There is do and learn, do and learn, do and learn."show more

why the fuck is this guy always on my timeline. stop making tech bros prophets, just ask them about technical architecture and that kinda shit

This doesn’t make sense on two counts. One, failure isn’t dependent on someone else thinking about you. I could have still failed to cook dinner for myself, if I burn it all. Second, people definitely are thinking about us and watching our performance.

Nobody is even paying attention. Just build.

Buying his SPACS at $10 and selling them at $1 is a failure. And he just wants to forget about it and move on.

That’s bc he always fails other people’s money.

@grok Americans with only one citizenship should be able to create elsewhere if not domestically

OH SHIT, lemme get this down... @matthewclifford's balls need to know this!

In a society which practices Socratic dialogue failure is not an option - only a failure to ask.

Thank goodness for halo effect

There is no failure there is only death.

Chamath is a snake

Reminds me of the (purported) graffiti in a Wall St bathroom: “God is dead.” Niestzsche “Niestzche is dead.” God Chamath loves to say tru-ish sounding things with conviction. I imagine him reaching for the bong afterwards for a long pull. “Duuude.” @chamath

The compounding of this loop is where the magic happens.

The sooner we learn this in our life … it’s better

It would be more fitting for Chamath if he replaced "failure" with "scamming"

This is a great way of putting it. We often put ourselves down because we think people are watching us and making judgments about us and our progress. But either this audience does not know about you anyway, and even if they did and made some criticism, they've forgotten about you the next day. So this "gaze" does not even exist enough to matter.

true failure is what we think of ourselves and what we think others of us we think we fail, we are failure we think we learn, we learn

Why don’t schools tell students this.. so many people would feel inspired

Delusional

Social media, and people in general, constantly pressure us through judgment, gossip and social expectations to conform and be like everyone else. Very few people resist that pressure and even fewer talk about it.

I am pretty sure it matters what others think of you if you have hire, raise money, etc. what the fuck this guys is talking about?

Chamath’s right about the mechanism because yes, failure isn’t a real category. It is a social hallucination we maintain because everyone is too busy narrating their own story to spend time judging you and your capacity.

Tell me you can socialize losses and privatize gains with a 20 second sound byte…. Sure the kid in the Cobalt mine is embracing this new fact

There is only feedback.

Jesus immortality .. lake of fire failure

Nghe hay đấy, nhưng mà tui nghĩ nếu bị bỏ trên đảo hoang thì tui chỉ lo kiếm nước uống chứ không có thời gian mà nghĩ mấy chuyện này đâu 😂🏝️

the result is flying private, there's no need to dwell on what worked what doesn't. at the end, if you are flying private, you have succeeded.

Failure should be internal fuel. It's not that it doesn't exist

60 million abortions is failure gaza failure dc failure

this is what I think about copyrights.

That's right. This wisdom comes with age.
