- all the best things come from compound interest in long-term games
- compound interest is not the cost here, rather the return on investment (that’s exponential. this doesn’t increase linearly)
- easiest way to think about is % of total investment so far (which increases so far)
- and interest gets added into the principal
- return on the principal
- interest = cost or reward in unit of the investment we’re talking about
- whether that’s friendships, romance, hobbies, careers etc.
- therefore, you also have to signal that you’re here for the long run. that people can trust you.
