I live and work in Silicon Valley, and First Principles (aka Firp) is my take on current issues at the intersection of tech, politics, and money.

Explanations are as simple as the mind that generates them can handle. Being maximally simpleminded and minimally expert, Firp is my attempt at reasoning my way through these domains from fundamentals.

The newsletter is bi-weekly and free. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions in comments and @HarperSachs.
