latest edition explores implications around: (1) making sense of the rapid displacement of startups and “the best model” rat race, (2) how “artifacts of humanity” will become a human flex of sorts… https://www.implications.com/p/the-law-of-displacement-speed-and?r=18d8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
