Every moment in business happens only once.
The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them.
It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1. The act of creation is singular, as is the moment of creation, and the result is something fresh and strange.
Progress comes from monopoly, not competition.
If you do what has never been done and you can do it better than anybody else, you have a monopoly - and every business is successful exactly insofar as it is a monopoly. But the more you compete, the more you become similar to everyone else. From the tournament of formal schooling to the corporate obsession with outdoing rivals, competition destroys profits for individuals, companies, and society as a whole.

- Brilliance combined with insight. Review by 100

There is no doubt the man is brilliant with very keen insights. It does drag on quite a bit, but there is a substance and a curiosity about what he's saying that makes you want to listen.

(Posted on 3/24/2024) - Excellent. Best tech Business book I've ever read. Review by Davo
-
I give this book 4 stars and do so having extremely high standards. As in my standards are literary fiction, MSA sort of standards. not only is it short and Powerful it's quite smart. it is just. wow. The last line is my favorite of any book I can remember and I think it might also be the all around best last line of any book I can remember. I'm going to look up whether the author is a Heideggerean. I definitely recommend it.
in case you're wondering why not four stars, like almost all on the mass market this book underestimates the willingness of readers to sit through more exacting sentences in exchange for good Style. Of course for that you have to have style in your voice. like I said I have high standards. to be clear I just mean that the prose was fairly unadorned as compared to what I feel the author was probably capable of.
