Akira The Don Everyone To Everyone
Let's look at this next tweet
Which I thought was cryptic and also super interesting
About the kind of job or career
That you might have
You said
“The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers
Most people haven't figured this out.”
The fundamental property of the internet
More than any other single thing
Is it connects every human to each other human on the planet
You can now reach everyone
Whether it's by emailing them personally
Whether it's broadcasting to them on Twitter
Whether it's by putting up a website that they can access
So, the internet is an inter networking tool to connect everybody
That is a superpower
That is a superpower
The internet means that you can find your audience for your product or your talent and skill
No matter how far away they are
Any niche obsession
People who collect snakes
People who like to ride hot-air balloons
People who like to sail around the world
By themselves as one person on a craft
Or there's a show about a woman's going to people's houses
And tidies it up
[Clean up your room]
So whatever niche obsession you have the internet allows you to scale
Now that's not to say that what you build will be the next Facebook
Will reach billions of users
But if you just want to reach 50,000 passionate people
Like you
There's an audience out there for you
The fundamental property of the internet
More than any other single thing
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
That is it's superpower
It connects everyone to everyone
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone to everyone
So, the beauty of this is that we have 7 billion beings in this planet
The combinatorics of human DNA are incredible
Everyone is completely different
You will never meet any two people who are even vaguely similar to each other
That ou can substitute for each other
It's not like you can say well Nivi just left my life
So I can have this other person come in and he's just like Nivi
And I get the same feelings the same responses and the same ideas
No, there are no substitutes for people
People are completely unique
So, given that each person has different skill sets
Different interests
Different obsessions
It's that diversity that becomes a creative superpower
So, each person can be creatively superb at their own unique thing
But before that didn't matter
Because if you were living in a little fishing village in Italy
Your fishing village did initially need your completely unique skill
And you have to conform to just the few jobs that were available
But now today you can be completely unique
You can go out on the internet
And you can find your audience
And you can build a business
And create a product
And build wealth
And make people happy
Just uniquely expressing yourself through the internet
The fundamental property of the internet
More than any other single thing
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
That is it's superpower
It connects everyone to everyone
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone to everyone
The space of careers has been so broadened
ESports players people creating videos and uploads
Bloggers and podcasters and YouTube broadcasters
PewDiePie is the number one trusted name in news!
He's got three times the distribution
Of the top cable news networks
The internet enables any niche interest
As long as you're the best at it to scale out
And the great news is
Because every human is different
Every one is the best at something
Being themselves
Escape competition through authenticity
When you're competing with people it's because you're copying them
It's because you're trying to do the same thing
But every human is different
Don't imitate don't copy just do your own thing
No one can compete with you on being you
It's that simple
And so, the more authentic you are
To who you are and what you love to do
The less competition you're gonna have
You can escape competition through authenticity when you realize
No one can compete with you on being you
The fundamental property of the internet
More than any other single thing
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
That is it's superpower
It connects everyone to everyone
It connects everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone
Everyone to everyone to everyone
Everyone is the best at something
Being themselves
Normally that would've been useless advice pre-internet
Post internet you can turn that into a career
