The Professor’s Minute Minute – September 21, 2025

 


I shall be at T2RL all this week. So normal service may be compromised.

Tariffs vanish (wishful thinking), startups face reality, Larry’s wallet expands, AI investments need boldness, Alaska’s staying power—and a little pain in the name of beauty.

  1. Tariff-free aviation is better aviation

    Global aerospace leaders call for zero barriers at the summit. Tariffs do nothing but slow innovation and drive up costs.

  2. The startup “anti-pitch” you need to hear

    Andrew Chen’s brutally honest guide to what VCs are actually thinking when they pass. Founders, read it twice.

  3. Larry Ellison’s bank account expands again

    Oracle’s rise fuels Larry’s latest wealth surge—just in case he needs another island or another America’s Cup yacht.

  4. Timid AI is wasted AI

    The Economist’s AI Innovation Asia warns: invest boldly or not at all. Small bets don’t move the needle in APAC.

    (The Economist)

  5. Alaska stays on course

    Strong revenue performance and cost control keep Alaska a standout. Reliable doesn’t have to mean boring.

  6. Quirky: Plucking, waxing, shaving—why does it hurt so much? The Washington Post explains the science of nerve endings and pain pathways.
