The Plateau of Plenty: Why VCs Are the Seers of Our Time
The venture capital game is not about what exists now. It’s about what could exist tomorrow. It plays out in the foggy frontiers where new products, services, companies, and sometimes even entirely new industries are born. This is not the world of proven revenue models or stable income statements. This is the world of potential. Of “what if.” Of “not yet, but soon.”
And most often, this world is shaped by technology—by advances in AI, robotics, biotech, quantum, and more. These are the tools of transformation. But sometimes, innovation comes from reorganization. From remixing what already exists. McDonald’s didn’t invent the hamburger; it restructured the system. It optimized service. It scaled operational efficiency. Innovation isn’t always inventing—it’s often refining, reimagining, and recontextualizing.
Still, when people say “VC,” they usually mean tech. They mean what’s happening on the bleeding edge. The reason places like San Francisco, Bangalore, or Shenzhen matter is not just the talent or the capital—it’s the concentration of context. It’s easier to grasp the future when everyone around you is building it. You stand on the shoulders of giants, and suddenly, tomorrow isn’t so far away.
But here’s the truth: even when you raise venture capital, you’re not winning the game. You’re buying time. Time to figure it out. Time to build. And unless the thing you’re building has the potential to grow exponentially, you’re probably not playing in the right arena. Venture capital is about scale. If you’re not dreaming in exponents, you’re not dreaming big enough.
Right now, we are standing at the edge of an incredible wave. AI, synthetic biology, decentralized infrastructure, spatial computing—it’s all accelerating. The landscape looks chaotic unless you zoom out. That’s when the fractal patterns begin to emerge. Innovation doesn’t flow linearly; it blooms from the edge cases. It looks small—until it changes everything.
But this wild ride won’t last forever.
All exponential growth curves eventually flatten. The plateau is inevitable. But this isn’t a plateau of failure—it’s the plateau of plenty. The Age of Abundance long foretold in ancient scriptures. The promised land. The world where scarcity is a design flaw we’ve finally overcome.
AI, for all its buzz and complexity, is just another tool. A mental bicycle. A cognitive rocket ship. But tools alone don’t determine right or wrong. That happens at the level of the soul. The next generation of innovation won’t just need engineers—it will need navigators. People with discernment. People who’ve undergone spiritual training as rigorous as a pilot’s or an astronaut’s. To wield the power of AI and exponential tech, we will need a new kind of ethics, rooted in wisdom.
In that sense, the best venture capitalists aren’t just funders—they’re seers. They don’t just see returns. They see realities yet to be born. The greatest among them will already sense the plateau of plenty, even as others are still chasing the curve.
And so, the VC game continues—not just as a financial activity, but as a spiritual exercise in vision. A discipline in foresight. A leap of faith that, one day, we will arrive.

The VC game isn’t about the present.
It’s about what could be—the foggy edge where new products, industries, and paradigms are born. 🧵

Principle: People are reluctant to change, even when it's beneficial.
People naturally resist change and prefer to maintain the status quo, even when change would be beneficial. This can lead to missed opportunities and stagnation.
