someone should write something like Paul Graham's essay on cities and ambition, but cover different social media networks + the core "messages" they have & how each one has a different impact on your thinking, career/life goals, core community etc.

lunchtime thought “if you go at the king, you best not miss” is wrong sometimes i.e. if you’re looking to set yourself apart... taking a run at a prominent person/company can be super useful if done correctly + downside risk is low

someone should write a new Great Gatsby for the 2020s based on crypto & AI money + the global elite travelling circuit: F1, grand slam tennis, sun valley, etc. the scale of luxury, corruption & existential angst are all even bigger 100 years later - good material for a book
