One of the recurring themes in the people that I've spoken to in the last few weeks is a society wide sudden realization about the importance of science as the engine of progress, And the importance of having science driven policy, as if somehow we didn't know that before, but somehow we didn't.

Kawasaki’s Law of Pre-Money Valuation: for every full-time engineer, add $500,000; for every full-time M.B.A., A good way to think about valuation in seed/pre-seed is to reverse engineer the next round. Our goals, their goals. ValuatIon should be a function of value, not ego. subtract $250,000. Guy Kawasaki, author.

We've seen the weaponization of the US dollar, particularly against Russia as, as we invaded Ukraine. Uh, they invaded Ukraine and we froze their access to reserves.

This is sometimes done in a cheaper part of your country but is more often done in a developing country rich with technical talent and smart people such as the Ukraine, China, India, Bulgaria and the like.
