100th Episode!!! Did America Build Anything Over the Past Two Years? How Will We Remember the Pandemic? What Didn't Get Built? Where Does Ukraine War Fit? What Gets Built In The Next Two Years?

from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don

The Best Paragraph I've Read: Every step of the way, to everyone around us, we should be asking the question, what are you building? What are you building directly, or helping other people to build, or teaching other people to build, or taking care of people who are building? If the work you’re doing isn’t either leading to something being built or taking care of people directly, we’ve failed you, and we need to get you into a position, an occupation, a career where you can contribute to building. There are always outstanding people in even the most broken systems — we need to get all the talent we can on the biggest problems we have, and on building the answers to those problems. This paragraph was written by Marc Andreessen in an essay titled: "It's Time to Build."  The essay is posted on www.a16z.com.  You can read the full essay here: https://a16z.com/2020/04/18/its-time-to-build/ Zac and Don celebrate their 100th episode by revisiting the first article they ever discussed.  Zac and Don reflect on the last two years in America.  They talk about what has been built and what has not been built.  They discuss the pandemic, education, democracy, the war in the Ukraine and more.
