You are what you see. Just like you should care on your physical nutrition, so you should carefully curate digital inputs. You should take the utmost care of your information diet. What you consume is a reflection of who you are and who you become.
Principles
- Invert the feed. Choose your inputs over the algorithm choosing what you consume. Primary sources over commentary.
- Seek non-consensus inputs. The most valuable knowledge is true but not yet believed.
- Compound knowledge, build knowledge trees. Go deep on a few thinkers & frameworks.
- Prioritize by half-life. A tweet lives hours, an essay lives months, a great book lives decades, a framework lives centuries.
- People over publications. One dinner with a domain expert teaches more than a month of articles. Networks as the highest ROI information source.
