Well, I'm very happy for you two. Plutocratic retreat is always an option for those who can afford it.

I get the feeling that your overall philosophy works perfectly given a sufficient level of enlightenment. I actually agree, I'm just targeting one level of enlightenment below yours (with an eye toward my family stuck in southern Missouri, actually enmeshed "real fake news").

I would suppose your eye is actually turned toward people even-worse-off than my Opioid-addicted family (read: this is a joke), but that would be supposing a thing about you I don't actually know (because I don't actually know you)

I mean what's plutocratic about making a home on the internet. Blogs or other presences are cheap to build. Online community stuff mainly subs for tv or sports. Anyone can do it. I don't get why wealth is a variable here.

Having a "highly curated social graph", dense enough to need only small # of people to provide you situational awareness of important topics, is definitely a strong modern form of wealth. If Twitter shuts down, you could contact ~70 people through vgr@ribbonfarm.com or whatever.

You actually built this graph w/ decade+ of hard work, but it is wealth nonetheless, one that smart people would probably pay *huge* $$$ for.

See this thread and subthread exchange with Karim Lakhani and Rem Koning. Network wealth is not trivial but it IS overrated.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/924304520305197056?s=17 …

Much of the value of a specific network is sentimental. It is valued for its own sake not what it can do in economic terms.

You're either engaging in specious strawmanning of "Networking / Connector" types, trolling me, or you have a seriously complicated worldview / terminology here that I utterly do not understand.

People prefer to believe in idealized and romantic network *potential* but rarely test that potential with liquidity events (trying to land specific gigs, doing kickstarters etc). I'm not strawmanning network capital; normies dreamman it.
