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?

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.

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.

Perhaps: 1) friends who can transmit the art to boost signal via salons or social gatherings, both acting as a distribution channel as well as a go-to-market strategy; 2) friends who may have context to value what you may have produced unselfconsciously, oblivious of its value.

Yes when I know at very successful people's I always know that while they may appear super on-their-own-path in fact countless people willingly supported them --- and that seems like an underchronicled talent no?

This is a very real thing, but IMO it’s not captured well by the various personality schemes, extrovert/introvert, mainstream “social skills,” etc. The concept of the “reality distortion field” is maybe one facet, but the gravitational pull some humans have resists dissection
