To seed, build, and nurture timeless, intangible human capitals — such as resilience, trust, truth, evolution, fulfilment, quality, peace, patience, discipline, relationships and conviction — in order to elevate human judgment, deepen relationships, and restore sacred trusteeship and stewardship of long-term firm value across generations.
A refreshing take on our business world and capitalism.
A reflection on why today’s capital architectures—PE, VC, Hedge funds, SPAC, Alt funds, Rollups—mostly fail to build and nuture what time can trust.
“Built to Be Left.”
A quiet anatomy of extraction, abandonment, and the collapse of stewardship.
"Principal-Agent Risk is not a flaw in the system.
Does naming just kill novelty dead? Can words wring wonder from curiosities just as human hands wring water from a wet towel? I wonder if this is a kind of Schrödinger’s phenomenology: things are most alive when we can’t quite grasp them but begin to die the moment we try to pin them down. Like butterfly, these simple miracles are vibrant in flight but lifeless once classified, mounted, and boxed.
This oddly relates to how I think about using knowledge graphs to constrain AI outputs.
Great for enterprises (>90% accurate for the things they define), but restrictive for allowing AI to explore and discover novelty through agency.
It feels as though building within these constraints will ultimately lead to capital flowing out into AI, the modern variety of which excels because neural nets are all edge and probability.
Hello there,
Huge Respect for your work!
New here. No huge reader base Yet.
But the work has waited long to be spoken.
Its truths have roots older than this platform.
