lovely conversation & worth your time.
why it’s interesting to me is that a lot of jeremy’s ideas can be reduced to basic economics.
e.g. why is the billionaire class potentially suddenly subservient to the poaster class? & why the hell would a dumb poaster inherit the priesthood?
simple, cuz you can’t buy the damn position.
there is no clean market for it. & more importantly the moment there is a transaction, everyone can see what happened. the poaster who joins the big lab is now inside the cap table, inside the hierarchy if you will, & ultimately inside the billionaire’s cathedral (there are many examples).
trusted voices are scarce here, so their value continuously compounds. more good posts, more followers, more prominence, more social capital, & so on. if the dollar is a commodity, the post is the exact opposite.
someone besides elon will eventually figure out how to become both billionaire & poaster, that kinda feels inevitable at this point.
