Overview
The introduction sets the stage for understanding the social paradox, where the pursuit of personal desires often conflicts with the need for social connection. It explores the balance between autonomy and community. The founder lens is simple: keep the parts that improve judgment, simplify decisions, and make the next move easier to explain.
