This to me btw somewhat contradicts The Courage to be Disliked concept (ht @webdevMason via @pmarca)
I have a few thoughts on this, more later.https://twitter.com/TheAnnaGat/status/1102671585935269894 …

Agreed. Spent many years in the creative industries then left when I realised whatever I do it will always be about politics, gatekeepers, subjective judgement & I need better. Wanted objective measures! Yet I still wonder if we're wrong to say what we do isn't about the friends?
Just not sure how this relates to The Courage to be Disliked, or what you mean by "what we do"/"about the friends"

fwiw friendships between high-impact humans are super interesting — recently reading about the Lunar Society, the US Founding Fathers, the Paypal Mafia, etc.

Yeah
I'm mostly familiar with such groups in science so if you have recs, would love to read!
But re: article how much do you see that apply in more objective fields ~ science/tech?
@barabasi your next project maybe?

I'm just musing about contradictions between individualistic ideals (cf. artistic talent)
group behaviour needed for passing subjective exams. And wondering how/if relates to the individualistic ideals in tech (incl. embracing works such as TCTBD) and the networking culture.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
