idea into a profitable business. It orbits around a concept called *The Idea Maze*.

Great founders think through various paths they can take their company on They have
an answer not just for why they're choosing a specific path but also why they've rejected
the alternatives.

If you want to build a company, this article is for you.​

How to speak: MIT Lecture
In this lecture, Patrick Wilson, a computer scientist at MIT shares his principles of
speaking in public. He shares a bunch of rules and heuristics that will improve speaking
ability in important situations.

You’d love his use of props and his sense of humor — the way he cracks jokes with a
blank face is hilarious. Great talk, will definitely teach you a couple of thumb rules about
sharing your ideas in the most interesting ways.

Charles Bukowski: the poetic embodiment of a raised middle

finger

Bukowski is probably the most influential writer of all time. His graphic and violent
poems bring out the deepest struggles of modern-day humanity. They create a weird
hollow space inside your head that is disturbingly meditative.

Bukowski was a true nihilist who spent his entire life writing and drinking. It’d be foolish
to assume that a man like him had an easy life. To understand the person behind those
poems about sex, violence, and drinking, watch this documentary.
Three of his poems that I absolutely love are Bluebird, The Crunch, and So You Want to
Be a Writer!

empiricism. They said that knowledge comes from experiences gathered through the five
senses. So naturally, they rejected the ideas of religion, supernaturalism, afterworld,
karma etc.

In my recent conversation with Kushal Mehra, we discussed about the long lost Charvaka
philosophy and some other forms of Indic philosophy.

I would recommend this short video as a primer for our conversation.
