Had a thought that sqrt(n) to n^2 via n is a vastly more important phenomenon than 0 to 1. sqrt(n) = random walk n = muddling through (filtered random walk) n^2 = network effect This is what things like product-market fit really are.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1350190715867865088 …

Not that niche. The peter theil wrote a whole book with less insight.

I think this maps well to personal experience. Sqrt(n) growth feels like slogging through mud. n growth feels normal, like you’re making good progress. n^2 is hyper growth. I can map any longer-running process to this.

It’s on point & on fleek. Crowdsourcing and organic, authentic networked participation yields n^2 value. Initial connections to build that network are indeed random walks. This is a pretty accurate description of how early scipy stuff emerged, then exploded into mainstream.

Your comment about Thiel reminds me of this quote about Kojeve, as a sort of anti-Thiel.pic.twitter.com/A5N1laA8P6
