I enjoyed 's observation that earned authentic respect is an underrated catalyst for the way one's skills, capital, brand, and network can reinforce each other.

I've often misunderstood this b/c respect is not very illegible, and the scale is unlabeled.
e.g. It feels like success when others reliably accept your coffee invites. But that's actually not very high on the scale: better if people proactively think of you in relevant moments.

Part of why this is confusing is that respect *feels* more legible than it is. Proxies like $, media appearances, followers, citations, etc *seem* like they correspond to respect, but very often they don't! Easy to accidentally internalize false lessons about what earns respect.
