I want to start a think tank. I’ll call it “Stop Doing Dumb Shit.” It’ll be for exactly what it says on the tin.

Pay me $100,000 a year if you’re rich or a million a year if you’re a corporation and I will tell you how to stop doing dumb shit. If you run your ideas and plans by me, I will prevent you from doing horrendously dumb shit.

For ten times the price I’ll tell you how to do intelligent things. But that’s not most people’s problem nor is it where most corporations fail. It’s that they do dumb shit and it hamstrings them. Thus, they never even get around to pondering doing something smart.
