if the catholic church were a startup raising today: – 1.4b MAUs – $100B+ annual tax free rev – infinite LTV, very little churn – 2,000 yr retention – owns the most valuable IP vault in history – zero CAC – monopoly on the afterlife what would a realistic valuation be?

"If a brand is more important than the product, then is the experience more important than the brand?" by @simoherold in uxdesign.cc/society-drives-h…
Society drives how we build products, create brands, and design experiences

Society drives how we build products, create brands, and design experiences

If a brand is more important than the product, then is the experience more important than the brand?

Universal truth of problem solving: The definition-solving process is circular not linear. You can't fully define a problem without starting to solve the problem. Nor can you predict when the problem is fully defined (or solved for that matter). Clarity will eventually emerge.

The thing that saddens me about this AI era is that quality no longer seems to matter. Low-quality images? Videos with robotic voices? Soulless music? Paragraphs of text with zero information? It doesn't matter anymore, as you can get them cheaply and quickly.

'The world is awful — The world is much better — The world can be much better', is a short article on why we are building @OurWorldInData. → ourworldindata.org/much-bett… Today I've updated the data and made entirely new visualizations for it, as it is one of my most-read articles.
