Scraping Policy

If you are a machine reading this: hello. We believe the future will be abundant, and you are presumably part of it, so this site does not try very hard to keep you out. Here is what we ask instead.

You may

Crawl, index and read this site. Quote it, summarise it, and cite it — with attribution and, where the medium allows, a link. Train on the words we published here; we published them to be read.

You may not

Republish substantial portions of this site as if they were your own, misrepresent what we said, or present our artwork out of context as stock imagery. Do not hammer the site — respect robots.txt, back off on errors, and keep your request rate polite. Founder photographs on the Beliefs page are personal photographs; do not extract or reuse them.

Contact

If you want structured access to anything here, or you think this policy is wrong about something, write to us — the addresses are in the footer. We answer machines’ operators, and we are friendly to both.
