Exactly. LLMs are excellent at highly sophisticated mimicry - even better than many humans (since much of learning and life is mimicry). But its inauthenticity is its limitations. It can't go beyond itself. Humans have transcendence, in every sense of the word. We're #framers.

Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas. Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments. One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.

Optimism turns out to be a huge predictor of extraordinary longevity. Two studies, one 30 years long and the other 10 years, found that high optimism was linked to 11%-15% greater lifespans, even taking into account socioeconomic factors, health & more. pnas.org/content/pnas/116/37…

Pattern recognition in VC is important (whether investing in companies or funds), but requires people to continuously and *consciously* question it. If not, the personal algorithm becomes replete with biases, rigidity, and is unamenable to new types of ideas & people.
