    I’ve watched a number of people become influential in Silicon Valley by doing nothing more than reading a lot and tweeting interesting thoughts about what they read. It’s pretty remarkable that the price of admission can be a free app and a library card.

        Be careful expecting people to understand nuance on twitter, where rage garners far more social currency.

        It’s subtle, but watching something someone says actually move the needle in what people think/do

        Would love to hear examples of when this influence is decoupled from capital. I can think of a number of examples of when unknown voices have soared due to originality, but almost all are linked to capital.

        I think they generally eventually become linked to capital, happy to talk about some off-list. Interestingly most that come to mind are women. Not sure what that means.

        How much richer is the tech discourse thanks to someone like Ben Thompson, whose only valley experience was an MBA internship at Apple. Would also argue that Graham, Dixon, and many other VCs are more influential because of their writing than their startups.

        In all things which compounds: the money; the network ; the knowledge (esp. historical). All good things are in life are free and abundant . In Information age ; information is widely available; rarely available is willingness to separate noise from the information.
