A thing I noticed fairly early-ish on is that people care about things more once they’re framed properly. Like, if you watch a documentary about a pit crew or a kitchen or a tattoo shop, you become invested in those people’s struggles and you start to care about them personally https://t.co/ejLo5XAbUP

tangentially-ish, it occurs to me that once an ecosystem has “matured” to the point where all engagement is $, the final bottleneck is managing your own psychology. sure you can do anything for $ but are you having fun? does your soul feel glad?

many QTs take the form of, “they shouldn’t have that problem. their parents should love them. you shouldn’t have to persuade your loved ones to love you.” I agree! Ideally everyone should be born into a nourishing supportive environment. But many are not. What should they do?

@visakanv i don't think we talk enough about the sheer compounding effects of being a good storyteller. it's a big differentiator between people i know who are capable & brilliant and people i know who are world changers
