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?

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.

@patio11, I hella appreciate your takes. Never would have thought of this that way before.

While I get your broader point about technology enabling tremendous value creation, I don't know this is the best example. Readership numbers are driven by there now existing radically more people with radically more free time. Seems a bit circuitous to measure value like that.
