The Distribution Flippening

The Distribution Flippening

The world is changing quickly.

YouTubers building larger distribution engines than cable networks.

Trending posts on Reddit moving a security 10x upward in a day.

Uniswap facilitating more trading volume than the NYSE.

To help understand this idea, consider the contrast between the two concepts ancient Greeks used to think about time.

It should be relatively simple to identify when we aren't accumulating net new experience, but in practice, it doesn't seem to be.

Language is an incredible tool. It makes it possible for us to externalize what we think and communicate it to others.
