1. “Autonomy and control so important to constellations. And so Mark's answer to this question you clearly see okay, this guy's a misfit. He's going to fit right in on Founder. So it says, why are decentralization autonomy and control so important to constellation? Where did that come from? And Mark's answer was fascinating. He says, it starts with personal preference. I don't like anyone telling me what to do. I don't like anyone saying I'm an authority figure and you will do it this way. I can't think of anything that annoys me more. So he's talking about I'm building a system that I want to work in, not only that, but I want to attract other people that are like-minded. And you'll find that highly talented people are not going to want to work under a highly centralized command and control business. So he's talking about this was a personal preference. I don't like anyone saying I'm an authority figure and you will do it this week. I can't think of anything that annoys me more. I was struck by principles, meaning when he grew up. I guess he meant like they literally hit him. I challenged teachers. I left home early. I had a bootleg radio license. I built a flamethrower.”
