Musk would've been thrown in the gutter long ago had he not had voting power in his companies. "antifragile" or whetever reputation he's built will be used against him.
Very few things can withstand public outrage as well as Voting Power. 🤓
@leventieva@incentivising Off the top of my head, there are lots of people faking about their tastes on fashion, art, music, hobbies to fit into certain social circles.
If you want to succeed, you need extraordinary pattern recognition. So here's what to do:
1. Prioritize writing. By far the most valuable way of learning how to connect the dots. Everything in writing produces patterns and structures. Surprisingly, this translates to a high ability to identify patterns everywhere else.
2. Revisiting old decisions. Some call it reflection, but self-help slop has tainted that word. No need to journal everything; just think about what other options you could've committed to.
3. Patience. The one that no one talks about because it's boring. You can't spot patterns if you're being overly hurried. Calm down, take a few deep breaths, and just observe closely.
Three skills, simple and no-nonsense.
According to game theory: Do not exploit every advantage just because it exists. In repeated games, you expect to deal with someone on a consistent basis. As such, practice cooperation, leave them with dignity and profit, maximising the incentives for future cooperation. Maximise the relationship that generates transactions, rather than exploiting particular transaction.
@TheEconomist Wikipedia will have to rely on corporate funding to stay afloat as people start forgeting what it even looks like.
Things are changing at a dizzing pace.
From what I've seen, the most common issue people face isn't that they lack skills. It's usually that they fail to position themselves properly. People choose from what they can see, so you need to communicate your value immediately. That's the “greater filter” when it comes to success.
There are two ways to go about this:
1. Utilize breadth: combine your best skills into a rare mixture. Works best if you have multiple interests. Then, perpetually utilize them.
2. Utilize height: Go deeper into the topics you cover than anyone else. This is by far the hardest way, but the one that pays off the best.
You can combine both, if you wish. But start off with one.
@Rainmaker1973 Although I think electricity produced the help of the sun is the right way to generate clean energy, what we have with solar panels is undeniably ugly.
When people try to work harder and still get nowhere, it's usually because they prioritize intensity and forget about asymmetry. Each one of your outcomes must measurably advance your position. If it doesn't, then it's not worth working on. You need to be ruthlessly efficient if you want to make it.
Underrated advice:
Your environment should match your goals. If you want to be fit, you go to the gym. The same goes for success: If you wish to achieve your ambitions, seek people with similar mindsets. The reason this works so well is that it's passive. You don't need to actively expend willpower to get yourself to work because you inevitably adapt to those around you.
@PolymarketMoney This is just a negotiating tactic. why wouldn't Reddit want to make money off its data. that's what their business model is about: selling data. Since it's selling data to other ai players, why would they exclude google if not for bigger prices
