he led the mosaic project at ncsa, creating the first web browser most people today would recognize as a browser, with things like images mixed in with text

then he went off and founded netscape, creating the dot-com boom

since then he's mostly been running a successful vc firm

so yeah he's always been 'kooky'

Is there some definition of kooky that precludes someone from being brilliant?

i don't think you can be brilliant without being kooky; if all you know is consensus reality you can never reach any conclusions before consensus reality does

wow, that's astonishing and wonderful to hear, thank you

i hope the things you learned from them were mostly true

i was planning to do one in december but i felt like i didn't have much material because i had a pretty unproductive year in 02022, and i'm increasingly dissatisfied with the medium

you're right about matrix
