The River and The Village
Let's start by understanding the two competing worldviews I explore in this book: The River and The Village. The River represents those who thrive in uncertainty, constantly adapting and taking calculated risks. On the other hand, The Village favors stability, structure, and minimizing exposure to the unknown. The Village is what you might call the East Coast establishment – media, academia, old money. It's a world where people are afraid of offending others or saying the wrong thing. The River, by contrast, is a world of what some might call "degenerate gamblers." But it's more than that. It's a sprawling ecosystem of highly analytical and competitive individuals, stretching from poker tables to Wall Street to Silicon Valley. As our world becomes increasingly complex and uncertain, understanding the mindset of those who navigate The River becomes crucial. They're the ones driving innovation, shaping financial markets, and pushing the boundaries of technology. But their approach isn't without flaws, and that's what makes this exploration so fascinating.
