Episode notes
Constraints Drive Progress
- Progress comes from discovering and conforming to constraints, not smashing limitations.
- These constraints represent knowledge growth, which fuels progress, especially in science.

- Naval Ravikant suggests viewing constraints as eliminating falsehoods, narrowing darkness to see the light.
- This approach highlights how eliminating what's wrong clarifies what's right, aiding knowledge growth.
Speed of Light Paradox
- The speed of light, seemingly a constraint, doesn't prevent reaching any point in the universe quickly.
- Relativity allows for near-instantaneous travel in one's frame of reference, though time dilation creates other challenges.
