Everyone to Everyone - Akira the Don, Naval Ravikant

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

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
