- Replying to @MythosVentures3/ We believe the coming Cognitive Revolution will be more transformative than the Industrial & Agricultural Revolutions. AI is not just the next platform shift; it's a phase transition that will give rise to history-defining companies.
- Replying to @MythosVenturesA recent paper by Charles Goodhart (yes, that Goodhart) argues that a baseline LVT increase from 0.55% to 5.55% w/ offsetting decrease on capital & labor income tax could increase economic output by nearly 15%, w/ welfare gains between 3.4-6.4% maxwell.syr.edu/docs/default-s…

- Replying to @MythosVenturesReal estate valuation is a $30B market running on inaccurate valuation methods (20% avg error, i.e. land parcel value y = $500k -> ŷ = $400k/$600k!) This forces govts to spend more than necessary on labor-intensive assessment while taxpayers systematically under- or over-pay.
