Recommend revisting Jeff Booth's The Price of Tomorrow. Growth != abundance.
Discussion
Find me a tech business whose objective is abundance. If you aren’t growing, you’re dying. There’s a future perfect state, and then there’s present reality.
Sounds pretty abundant.
The minute you're alive, you begin to die. You are closer to death today than you were yesterday. The growth you've realized means nothing to the Reaper. True for individuals and companies.
I hope you're able to lengthen your time preference beyond the present.
Not everything is philosophical or existential, requiring naval-gazing, friend. I’m stating an observable fact about the nature of an industry and venture-backed business. This has nothing to do with me.
