The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

If you think something hard is impossible, you’ll never even start trying to achieve it. Belief in secrets is an effective truth.

I wonder if I should try and do both?? I have been working in Shipping since 2004 and have a lot of Ideas about how it could be better. Now I just need to pick one and run with it.

About half of all energy is used on transportation, and people spend a huge amount of time unhappily commuting.

Face-to-face interaction is still really important; people still need to move around. And housing continues to get more expensive, partially due to difficulties in transportation. We’re interested in better ways for people to live somewhere nice, work together, and have easier commutes.

Specifically, lightweight, short-distance personal transportation is something we’re interested in.

ONE MILLION JOBS

We want to fund companies that have the potential to create a million jobs.

There are a lot of areas where it makes sense to divide labor between humans and computers-—we are very good at some things computers are terrible at and vice versa—-and some of these require huge amounts of human resources.

This is both good for the world and likely a good business strategy—-as existing jobs go away, a company that creates a lot of new jobs should be able to get a lot of talented people.
