taway1a2b3c··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything

taway1a2b3c··on Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business
Started a company with a partner 7 years ago. 2 person company, £1M ARR (took a while to get there).

Hope this is the last "job" I ever need, I don't think I can go back.

Never wish for this. The amount of (emulated, but still real to the emulatee) suffering has no practical limit. Emulation/Uploading is every sadists wet dream. The only way to stay free is to live your life in the real and embrace (and hope for) the permanence of death.
