This definition of success is actually based on something called linear goals. Linear goals are based on the idea that in order to be successful, you need to have a clear vision and a clear plan. And if you start looking around, you'll notice that those linear goals are everywhere in our life and in our work.
And the thing the principle there that allows you to see what the future might look like when it's exponential and not linear is imagining any rate of improvement. And so this is how I think always in my business is when I'm thinking about which bet to make, I imagine if there's just 5% rate of improvement per quarter, eventually this happens.
But in fact, it's usually like the the this famous art historian George Kubler noted that it's it's basically always a lineage and you only see one person who who caught on for some reason or another, but they're really just building sort of on their their ancestors. And and the other thing I'd say is that Patricia Stokes is a psychologist who's done really interesting work on this
including the UK government is, how can we, for example, even in the process of evaluation of public investments, move away from this very linear, static cost benefit analysis or net present value calculation to one that actually captures and takes into account all the dynamic spillovers that happen along the way? The moon landing was interesting not only because they got to the moon and back, but along the way all the serendipity happened.
And then when they start like in the case of COVID-19, they may have this slow start in the big picture of things-- linear start-- that make us learn from them and kind of slow us down, blind us towards what may actually happen, which is this. So it may stop at our tracks, and it is very difficult to identify these problems based on the lessons of experience.

Thank you. And also I'm particularly interested in Sakya lineage, because I know that so far, all the foreign holders of Sakya lineage have been male members of a Sakya family. I wonder if in the future maybe a female member can also be a leader.
And that amount is exponential and not linear. So we went from 0.5 to 1 to 2. Going from 2 to 4 will also take just the same number of years. 4 to 8.

And that's good enough. Linear equations and plugging in the answers and seeing that it worked out.
the late 1940s, make a crucial intuitive leap and then, using this web of interdependencies that she had set up, decipher Linear B. Now the extraordinary thing about Ventris is that he was neither an archaeologist, like Arthur Evans, nor a classicist, like Alice Kober, nor a scholar in any other field that might have made him a likely decipherer.
You can see his magnificent architect's penmanship on display in one of the hundreds of Linear B inscriptions he copied by hand. Linear B, it turned out, recorded a very early dialect of Greek, spoken long before Hellenic peoples were known to

They are so transparent, they would be at home today on any restroom door in the world. So Linear B was unquestionably a writing system. And as such, it was what we call a mixed script.
For one thing, she adamantly refused to speculate on either the language of the tablets or on what sound to ascribe to any Linear B character. What she did that was so radical-- for no decipherer of any script in history had done this-- was to treat the symbols of Linear B as abstract objects
You can see his magnificent architect's penmanship on display in one of the hundreds of Linear B inscriptions he copied by hand. The Linear B syllabic writing system or syllabary, as it's known, was what's called a CV type of syllabary.
You can see his magnificent architect's penmanship on display in one of the hundreds of Linear B inscriptions he copied by hand. But Linear B, in finding the Linear B archive, Arthur Evans had basically unearthed the record room, the account books
You can see his magnificent architect's penmanship on display in one of the hundreds of Linear B inscriptions he copied by hand. Did Linear B have a system of inscribing numbers using figures as well?
A linear progression is a good approximation of an exponential one for a short period of time.

For all of this to work, though, we need to redefine success, not as a fixed destination that is based on linear goals but as something that we learn together. Success is learning something new.

Where in fact, you know, we will see one creator who explodes, but when someone delves into it, it's really they're usually building on a lineage and maybe not everyone got famous in that lineage. So to people that are consuming their content, it looks like they came out of nowhere.
