\para{Thiel starts from the bold premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we're too distracted by our new mobile devices to notice. Progress has stalled in every industry except computers, and globalization is hardly the revolution people think it is. It's true that the world can get marginally richer by building new copies of old inventions, making horizontal progress from "1 to n." But true innovators have nothing to copy. The most valuable companies of the future will make vertical progress from "0 to 1," creating entirely new industries and products that have never existed before. Zero to One is about how to build these companies. Tomorrow's champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today's marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. In today's post-internet bubble world, conventional wisdom dictates that all the good ideas are taken, and the economy becomes a tournament in which everyone competes to reach the top. Zero to One shows how to quit the zero-sum tournament by finding an untapped market, creating a new product, and quickly scaling up a monopoly business that captures lasting value. Planning an escape from competition is essential for every business and every individual, not just for technology startups. The greatest secret of the modern era is that there are still unique frontiers to explore and new problems to solve. Zero to One shows how to pursue them using the most important, most difficult, and most underrated skill in every job or industry: thinking for yourself"--Provided by publisher.}

\para{Why did I write Meta Learning?}

\para{A big part of the reason is that I find everything that has happened to me over the past couple of years surprising. I didn't expect you could learn to program on your own, neither did I expect you could learn enough ML online to hold your ground in conversations with people with PhDs, and ro become perfectly employable.}

\para{Or that you could top it all off by defeating a team consisting of seasoned industry professionally in a DL competition.}

\para{I year ago I gave up on ML. I didn't know what to learn not how. After a 5 month break I decided to give ML one last try. If it would not work out I would need to let it go to not continue to waste my time - maybe I am unable to learn this. I then signed up for the \textit{fastai}\footnote{The course taught by Jeremy Howard, a professional in DL :)} course.}

\para{What is even more surprising is that there is nothing unique about me. These are things anyone can do... and they work :-) This is truely wonderful and liberating. You will learn about them in Jeremy Howards lectures. You will encounter them listening to very experienced engineers talk\footnote{\url{https://twitter.com/HamelHusain/status/1349804023365345280?s=20}}. And in the stories of people switching careers\footnote{\url{https://twitter.com/isaac_flath/status/1389714563667431427?s=20}}. And in the writing of people not sparing any effort to lift their community up\footnote{\url{https://medium.com/@init_27/how-not-to-do-fast-ai-or-any-ml-mooc-3d34a7e0ab8c}}.}

\para{You will also find them in my book, curated and told through the lens of my experince. I experienced the power of these first-hand, and I continue to be surprised that they work so well. This is why I feel there is value in talking about them and sharing them widely :)}
