Besides religious beliefs, do you have any views that would be considered “irrational” in it’s modern form? Being an avid reader of Philosophy it seems that some of the most well know philosophers had world views that might be considered irrational but not directly dismissible, so I’m interested in knowing your arcane beliefs.

By lazy and not ambitious enough I mean they are not pursuing “world historical” projects but are instead opting to keep feeding their cash cow or opting for easier projects (Apple refusing any project that is too much physical work that can’t be outsourced outright) . I’m talking about the corporations that posses a few rare qualities: 1. Founder controlled WHILE having big free cash flows (think a certain social media company Or for a better example, a Payments company founders )

2. A cash cow that provides relatively easy funding (only Ad-funded models, toll boxes or a huge subscription service with near-zero marginal costs)

Now if these kind of companies exist (even though it’s pretty rare) why isn’t there companies ambitious enough to fund or work on world-changing projects even if it falls from their main line of business? I can only think of one potential company: Stripe.

What do you think?

I recently came upon the realization that doing some-things in life would actually bring the opposite of the result I was intuitively expecting.

I was wondering If anyone had a similar experience where they realized that doing something often leads to the other manifesting?
