There you have it, there's a limit to how fast one can think. 

Anyway, I think it's stupid to speed everything up for the sake of it. After all - we already cannot process all the stimuli we're confronted with.

This is something we've all intuitively known for a while, and it's why I find it so frustrating that the speed of email or message response is apparently some sort of important indicator for founder or VC quality

In my mind if you respond to quickly to a message or email, you're not thinking deeply enough about the thing you're supposed to be doing

oh for sure. according to my whatsapp reply speed I'd make for a horrible founder haha 

 I think you'll like Hartmut Rosa's thoughts on this. He's a sociologist in the tradition of the Frankfurt school of critical theory and has been warning that we are out of sync for a long while. 

One example he mentions is democracy. We have more plurality, more voices to listen to (in theory) yet things are supposed to be ever faster. 

There's many more things, such as our relation to nature, and to each other. Another thing he highlighted that if in the past someone had to write 10 letters, he probably now has to do 20 emails. So yeah... The load is just increasing/
