    hm occurs to me that at a certain point return to Knowing Things becomes much lower return on the effort margin than (i) knowing people who know different things (ii) being able to find people who know different things (iii) discerning whether other people actually know things

        these are compliments not substitutes of course often knowing things is helpful in each of the above three areas ex, having your own knowledge to barter; knowing what it sounds like when someone knows something vs not (hard if you havent seen someone fuck up wrt smthing u know)

        ok likes work again other stray thoughts: 1. the extent to which one can access these external sources of knowledge is a function of both direct costs (do you pay, as with an attorney? ask with the implicit understanding of a later assist? is it charity) and transaction costs

        2. Transaction costs include evaluation of that knowledge's quality (hence iii), discovering experts if not immediately available, and perhaps translating arcane knowledge to something actionable

        3. The upper middle class is the class that essentially trades in external knowledge. Higher classes probably trade in wealth or access or power. I don't know how this works. Lower classes trade mostly in labor? Who knows.

        4. Universities used to be quite good at helping students accumulate both internal and external knowledge networks. Now not so much for (reasons). Twitter is more powerful if you use it correctly.

        see second tweet but you kind of develop a sense of how people talk when they know things vs not when you hear ppl bullshit about things you're expert in y/n?
