  • Psychological safety is the enemy of urgency, progress, orbital velocity.
  • Musk’s preferred buzzword is hardcore.
  • Discomfort is a good thing, a weapon against the scourge of complacency.

Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.
