Formula for leveraged thoughts

The internet is beautiful because it is rooted in an ideological egalitarianism, an environment that allows for a free exchange of ideas

Idea Impact = (An Idea) x (Number of People Who Believe It) x (The Power of The People Who Believe)

  • Power Output = The resulting actions, fiscal or otherwise, that come from an idea.
  • The “Idea” = What you bring to the table. Ideas qualify because the only capital they require is intellectual and reputational
  • Power of the People Who Believe = Leverage. Ultimately, the bigger the concentration of power that accompanies an idea, the more impact it will have.

Increase the value of ideas

There are essentially only 3 ways by which to increase an idea value:

  1. Monetize the attention: via ads, gated communities, or subscriptions, turning people’s eyeballs into money makes sense.
  2. Reputational Gains: Is fickle but real. Consistently using idea leverage allows the thinker to accrue residual reputational power.
  3. Gain Power: Raise capital or organize people to invest in an idea.
