Naval: This is the paradox of working for yourself which every entrepreneur or every self-employed person is familiar with which is that when you start working for yourself you basically sacrifice this work-life balance thing. You sacrifice this work-life distinction. Theres no more nine-to-five. Theres no more office. Theres no one whos telling you what to do. Theres no playbook to follow. At the same time theres nothing to turn off."

"(2/2) What I got out of reading all of Deutsch was I got to see how his theory all hangs together. Every piece touches upon and relies upon another piece. He actually came up with the theory of quantum computation and extended the ChurchTuring conjecture into the ChurchTuringDeutsch conjecture when he was trying to come up with a way to falsify his theory of the multiversewhich was a quantum physics theory. And to do that he had to invent quantum computation because to invent the experiment for how to falsify the multiverse theory he had toin his mindimagine an AGI get inside the AGIs brain"
