Hey, you sound like a pretty Good Doctor! or at least AFineDoctor

The girls would have had to start having sex pretty early—the legal age for marriage was 12, and just like in other societies, getting a girl married off sooner meant not having to house/feed her. The legal age for boys was 14. I don't know anything about extracurricular activities.

This is a great reply. Thanks for showing that you (and many others) are a human being, not merely a citizen of one country.

When do you think it's appropriate for a start-up culture to transition into a corporate one? Have you seen some of Y Cominator's start-ups make good compromises between 'high personal investment/flexible schedule/high reward' employment models and 'average personal investment/rigid schedule/low-medium reward' models?

I ask because I find the initial energy of a start-up culture very appealing, but I've also observed young company cultures where workers were expected to invest as much time and effort as the original founders, with little autonomy. Do you instruct your students on how to find a good balance that results in both happiness and productivity?

Thanks for answering questions! Hope you are well.

That's interesting, thanks.
