Great writeup. I didn’t really know the details of the now defunk Clear’s business model. Thoughtless optimism indeed.
I wonder where I’m doing that in my own life?
Nobody at Clear did any thinking. They had a business model, the business model wasn’t actually possible, everybody knew it, and they still plugged away at it. Thoughtless optimism. I don’t know whether to salute ‘em or laugh.
