a lot of the ideas floating around Have Good Opinions Twitter have concrete financial value in theory, stuff like
“modern architecture sucks” 🔜 start an architecture firm
“everyone is confused about sex” 🔜 start a sex column, become a sex coach, make sex ed youtube vids
Conversation
“everyone is confused about masculinity” 🔜 start a men’s group, run men’s retreats (okay this one is hard now)
“religion is good actually” 🔜 start a church (okay this one is also hard now)
etc. etc. and yet approximately none of these conversions are happening
