About Me

I live in San Francisco and have spent the last couple of years building Curation Labs, the information capitalism infrastructure of the 21st century.

I’m a systems thinker at night. I’m obsessed with systems and how to analyze their equilibrium(s) as well as how to build sustainable and anti-fragile systems. I write about chokepoints in complex systems and signals that point to their inner workings on my substack.

Feel free to message me and say hi if you got this far, I don’t bite unless angered: {my first name}@saam.kim

Quotes that steer my thinking

"The only thing that is constant is change"

- Heraclitus

"There are only three ways for humans to change: First, change the time allocation; Second, change the place of residence; Third, change the people with whom they interact. Only under these three elements can human beings change. One of the most meaningless is: 'Make new resolutions'."

- Kenichi Ohmae

"There are three qualities to look for in a partner: intelligence, energy, and integrity."

- Naval Ravikant

"Our strategy is to use systems, alter systems, and build systems that expand our circles in ways each of us couldn't do on our own... Uncertainty is a feature of every strategy. Not the delineated steps of a proven process, but the exploration and probabilities of creating a better version of the future."

- Seth Godin

"The curious mind embraces science; the gifted and sensitive, the arts; the practical, business; the leftover becomes an economist"

- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
