In a group chat trying to guess how many millions of dollars a friend’s company is going to be acquired for. He’ll probably make more from that than all of my (or his) ancestors have, combined, ever. And he’s like 30. Do you ever just stop and think about how crazy this all is?

My younger brother has, call it, 100,000 people who read his blog about writing comic book superhero novels. Mark Twain's bestselling book didn't hit 100k copies in his lifetime. Mark Twain. 100th or 1,000th best author who was a contemporary of his?

You could come from a long line of authors and, with no particular talent other than being an author with access to the Internet, trivially produce more value than all of them combined: write the median book, distribute it better than they could in 30 lifetimes.

I think this is pretty common during historical periods of inflation. e.g. - robber barrons, captains of industry.
