🎂 33 years ago — and today’s paradox

Hello and welcome to Pulse — the weekly techie/businessy newsletter from @perspectiveix. I’m your host, Ben, and today’s my birthday 🎂🎈 — 33 ffs in a tier 3 lockdown in Manchester where i can’t do shit! 😂

Not that you should care, but if you did becoming a member or sharing Pulse with a friend or two can be an excellent gift. So can a ☕️ !

Now, let’s get to the real stuff.

🍂 a gift for you.

i’ll keep this short. the 33 part is pretty obvious by now, but the paradox (which is by no means an original thought) might not be.

getting old(er) is kinda fun, but for me, the most exciting thing about getting older is the depth in realising how much I DON’T KNOW.

i mean, yes, i’ve learned A LOT during my years, but the best part of it is realising how little i actually know. i think understanding this has empowered me by humility and an insatiable thirst for learning — not stealing Ross’s Knowledge Boy, but inspired by him 😆

that’s it really. no conclusion. just a stream of consciousness i guess.
