I spent years working across various social media networks and this is the knowledge that I have brought back. Not only as a data scientist or geopolitical analyst, but as an observer of how humans interact inside collective information networks.

The key to mastering this medium is to master yourself. Observing emotive response (internal/external) is a practice that can be honed. All the signals individuals transmit are observable, and they offer just as much insight into the author as into the reader.

You can only understand how a complex system works by observing its behavior as a whole AND in individual parts. Resist the urge to divide the whole, and miss the message. The medium is the tool for connectivity of information among billions; this is the important message.

Pay attention only to authentic signals with a proper amount of applied intention. You know which ones these are intuitively. My intention is to show readers a path to access the benefits of the Collective Wisdom available on social media, while filtering out the noise.

Self-service/group (tribal) signaling currently drives the majority of interaction on social networks. Corporations and influencers use manipulative tactics to cause conflict to maximize interaction. This is an objectively poor use of connectivity. Let these signals pass.

The emergence of the

Intention to expand Collective Wisdom would ideally drive interaction. Currently there is a surplus of display signals across social media, and a deficit of intention + thought + authenticity. JBP is selling out arenas across the West for one reason, AUTHENTICITY.

Authenticity is the first step in the direction of meaning/purpose. It is the foundation that a network of Collective Wisdom can be built. We cannot access the potential of connectivity until this is realized. The medium facilitates the connection of authentic signals.

Set intention to receive few high value signals, rather than to transmit many low value ones. The few DM's from thoughtful people I receive are worth a hundredfold of likes and retweets. Thanks for reading.
