Love how the 40 pages/day framework breaks down into 4 distinct categories instead of just lumping everything together. The Bradbury challenge though is the real gem here, especially the part about metaphors bouncing around creating new metaphors. I've found that this kind of cross-domain reading actaully speeds up pattern recognition in unexpected ways, like when a history book suddenly illuminates a tech trend better than any whitepaper could. The micro essay approach makes a lot of sense too, most breakthrough thinking starts as half-baked ideas anyway.
Love this compounding engine framework. Wonder how you might measure whether founders in your portfolio who apply that same numbers game approach internally (more experiments, more user feedback, more assumption testing) might outperform the more deliberative/selective ones. Do you think this thesis extends from how to invest to how to build a startup especially in the early idea stages?

Very inspirational, thank you! Is there a specific APP you use to help you keeping track of all your connections and TO DOs with each one of them?
