I’ve never seen a competitor to EVject and at first glance this one is pretty compelling because it’s not single use. It appears to be a spring loaded device that pops off when you unlock your Tesla’s charge port. That being said it appears to be 3D printed, low...

Sam Altman: “Most people give up on things way too early” “Knowing when to quit and knowing when to give up on something, there’s no perfect answer to that. It’s really challenging to even get that approximately correct. But I think most people give up on things way too early.” Sam continues: “The mistake that most people make — particularly young entrepreneurs — is they try something, it does not immediately work, and after seven weeks, they say, ‘I tried this thing and it’s just not meant to be.’… The satirical version of this are people who are 23 and have started 14 startups because they give up on everyone before it could ever possibly be successful. These things are really hard. They take a really long time. There are a lot of critics. There are a lot of people who say: your thing sucks; it’s going to fail; it’s really stupid.” There’s also what Y Combinator calls “The Trough of Sorrow” where, as Sam describes, “no one even decides to say it sucks because no one cares at all. And that is at least as demotivating.” But this doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work. Sam explains: “Most of the founders that I have spent a lot of time with that have gone on to be super successful spent a very long time on their idea when a lot of other people would have given up. Either people said it sucks, or people said nothing about it at all. And a framework that I have for when to give up versus when to keep working is that it should be an internal, rather than an external, decision. If people aren’t using it or people are saying it’s bad, that alone is not a reason to give up. You want to pay some attention to that — they might be right. But the best entrepreneurs I know make an internal decision about when to give up or when to keep working on something. It’s basically: when you have run out of ideas, and something is not working, then it is a good time to stop.” Video source: Y Combinator (2016)

There was a point in my conversation with Andrew Bridgen (Andrew Bridgen) where everything slowed down and the weight of what was being discussed became very real. This is a disgusting subject. It’s horrifying. And it’s exactly why it rarely gets talked about. Andrew speaks about child abuse and child trafficking into the UK and about how quickly the shutters come down when these issues are raised. Not debate. Not investigation. Silence. He goes further and explains something most people instinctively reject because it’s so hard to process. That at the very highest levels of power, child abuse and trafficking function as a form of sacrifice and as a binding mechanism. A glue that holds corruption together. Something so dark and compromising that it ensures silence, loyalty, and control among the most powerful people in the world. For most decent people, even contemplating this feels impossible. And that inability to imagine it is part of why it continues. It protects those involved. Andrew talks about having seen evidence. About how deeply disturbing it is. About the fact that even police officers investigating child abuse are limited in how long they can work on these cases because of the psychological damage it causes. This is not said lightly. And it’s not said for shock value. Posting this is not comfortable. Talking about it is not safe. Even sharing this conversation carries risk. But pretending these things don’t exist doesn’t make them go away. It only protects the structures that allow them to continue. If there are subjects that are truly forbidden, truly untouchable, then we should be asking why. And who benefits from that silence.
