Running Out of So-Whats
Summary
So what if shareholder value increases when everything else erodes? So what if we could generate a thousand ideas overnight when we lack the reflection to find wisdom over scaling bias? So what if I made more money when my time with my loved ones is limited? So what?
Eventually, I ran out of so-whats. And when I did, I was finally liberated to choose life over work.
