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 …

Thanks! Yet the question to me remains is it an illusion to think in more "objective" fields one's success is less influenced by who they're friends with or not.
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?
Vectors in every possible direction between talent, network, and success. You're more likely to catch the interest of talented/successful people if you're talented, you're more likely to develop your talents in the context of a successful friend group, etc.

Yes, and that's beautiful!! Yet what the article / research found was that having more friends (social skills?) counted more than creativity / talent. To me this is super interesting - and would love to know to what degree this is only true in subjective fields like art.

That isn’t what it found, though? The nodes were all successful artists. It’s not clear that the most famous had more friends in general, just that they had more connections to other successful artists & more *groups* of successful artists (delineated geographically)
