@benlandautaylor Courage is in short supply.

@benlandautaylor this interview stays winning on attitudes of freedom and wealth

@benlandautaylor so I've been thinking about this a lot as part of attempting to pursue some unconventional dreams (and grantmaking for many years)

it's underappreciated that it is easy to hire for conventional things (many people want to remodel their kitchens, it's easy to buy) (1/2)

@benlandautaylor actually it's because the soul leaves the body at 30

@KerryLVaughan @benlandautaylor You get a wife and kids and 401k and then your unconventional dream of becoming a porn producer has collateral damage. As the Buddha said, “women and children are soft fetters”

@benlandautaylor and it's challenging to hire for unconventional things (very few people want a hand-embroidered outfit in an Ancien Régime style). You normally have to do it yourself or find someone who wants to do it you can fund. (2/2)
