    He is born intelligent with some passion . No schools / education system could stop that .

Great Stuf and inspiration.

    Interest rate is currently at 4.75%(8th rate hike since March last year) Inflation at 7% and mortgage rates is at over 7.5% but yet minimum wage remains the same and my retirement portfolio has suffered tremendously these past years, so my question is how do senior citizens retire and live off such unstable economy. The long term game is obviously not for me at this point.

      In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using it well

      if anybody told you that education is not needed his head needs to be checked.
      this computer cannot be done in a dream. there is serious engineering at elite level to make it happen.

As he correctly said that his solution is beyond doing customer support better. I think that fact doesn’t come out well. Imagine the effort of his B2B sales teams have to do to just introduce the company!

      There is an older movie, Blow, that has a great line in it about ambition exceeding talent. I think that line epitomizes silicon valley. The SVB bank closure showcases that imo. Not saying ambition is bad but an environment that rewards ambition without talent or value is doomed to fail.

My point was silicon valley is not the density of ambitions, it is the density of people chasing money and connections.
