“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

That’s just like your opinion, man.

“Stagnation is almost certain, and stagnation is slow-motion failure.”

This has some strong Ricky Bobby vibes, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” I never have understood how companies are supposed to have unlimited growth. At some point when every human on earth that can use their service/product is already doing so, where else is there to go? Isn’t stagnation being almost certain just a reality of a finite world?

That’s the joke.
