In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon:

💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year.

What are the generation-defining stats of today?

I'll post a few to kick things off...

💡 The cost of mapping a genome has fallen ~100,000% over the last 15 years.

If that doesn't speak to you, we're talking about $100m down to <$1k – faster than Moore's law.

💡 College tuition has outpaced how much people earn by almost 10x.

I'll just let this one speak for itself.

💡 Cyber insurance loss ratios have increased for years, despite exponentially growing rates.

Loss ratio = (costs + claim payments)/premiums

In other words, cyber security is becoming an exponential issue.

💡 The percentage of men under 30 not having sex has tripled in the last ~decade.

I'm not sure what percentage of those men are now having sex in the "metaverse".
