@DigitalDionysu1 @AnEmergentI Issue is VfM requires verifiable line of sight of value-e.g.“number of jobs in company x in 2040.”However,if you have line of sight,by definition you’re not transformative; merely following crowd.History shows transformative tech is glimpsed on the horizon by an exceptional few.

@AnEmergentI Worse still, VfM actively diverts funding away from transformative opportunities and into projects that yield little to no meaningful impact. It's time to rethink how we measure and allocate investments to foster real economic growth and disruptive innovation.

Couldn’t agree more-large companies can be built very quickly. 🇬🇧 has a history and a future of this: steam turbines, modern ship, jet engine, computer, fusion, AI. But it hinges on ambitious founders & VCs and Gov not fucking it up by stepping up and being truly ambitious.

“The key to a creative discussion in science is to think of it as akin to improvisational theater and jazz… We scientists, enjoy finding flaws in the arguments of those around us…. As mentors and colleagues… we should cherish the opportunity to improvise together.”
It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.
