关键要点
- Noora Health 是 PG 支持多年的非营利组织，在南亚医院教新手妈妈出院后如何照顾婴儿，已进入 165 家医院，干了 7 年。
- 效果可测量且巨大：每 1000 个活产儿救活 9 个婴儿——数据来自与 Ariadne Labs 合作、对 28 家医院 133,733 个家庭的研究。
- 按最保守口径（总预算除以救活人数），救一条命的成本是 PG 见过最低的：1,235 美元。
- 这次 NFT 拍卖将公开发布报告，追踪这笔专款的去向并估算救活人数；与纪念过去的 NFT 不同，这个 NFT 价格越高越好——底价约 250 万美元（正好够救 2000 条命，名副其实），拍得越高，救的人越多。

PG 原话
每 1000 个活产儿，他们能救活 9 个婴儿。
For every 1000 live births, they save 9 babies.
Noora 非常有效：即使按最保守的口径（总预算除以救活人数）算，救一条命的成本也是我见过最低的：1,235 美元。
Noora is so effective that even if you measure their costs in the most conservative way, by dividing their entire budget by the number of lives saved, the cost of saving a life is the lowest Ive seen. $1,235.
与纪念已发生之事的 NFT 不同，这个 NFT 价格越高越好。
unlike an NFT representing something that has already happened, this NFT gets better as the price gets higher.

限定用途的捐款是非营利界的隐形诅咒：非营利组织比捐款人更懂钱该花在哪，不信任就别捐。
If a nonprofit doesnt understand better than its donors where money needs to be spent, then its incompetent and you shouldnt be donating to it at all.
If you want to donate to a nonprofit, donate unrestricted. If you trust them to spend your money, trust them to decide how.

财富税会复利：1% 税率 60 年拿走 45% 股票；2% 税率加 $5000 万起征点，拿走约三分之二。
So a straight 1% wealth tax means the government will over the course of your life take 45% of your stock.
A 2% wealth tax with a $50 million threshold takes about two thirds of a successful founders stock.

跟大公司的 Corp Dev 谈通常是错的——除非你现在就想卖且大概率拿到可接受的报价；中间地带最危险。
Its usually a mistake to talk to corp dev unless (a) you want to sell your company right now and (b) youre sufficiently likely to get an offer at an acceptable price.
Boys, do you know why I never became a drunkard? Because I never took the first drink.

遗愿清单：别当一颗螺丝钉
临终五大遗憾都是“不作为之错”；把它反转为五条命令，置顶在待办清单。
If you had to compress them into a single piece of advice, it might be: dont be a cog.
Errors of omission are a particularly dangerous type of mistake, because you make them by default.
