Status is your place in the social hierarchy. twitter.com/naval/status/10021036273878… > Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games. From @naval’s Twitter thread “how to get rich (without getting lucky)” twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468… My note: wealth is options; options are freedom, and buying your time back. Only play status games if you’re playing for fun, but don’t confuse it with success and freedom.

Not sure I agree about Naval's thread[1]. There is a lot of actionable stuff in there. [1] twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

it's a shame that our society causes us to optimize our time spent to make the most amount of money. we need to do the opposite of this: twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

Naval has a lot of good content. I would start with his tweet storm: How to Get Rich (without getting lucky): twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

Naval's original tweet storm is really worth reading (as is some of the discussion around it on twitter): twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

Reminds me of this famous tweetstorm: x.com/naval/status/1002103360646823936…...

Maybe: - Speaking another language than English. Language is a key to access a culture. - Being more or less aware of your neurological (isolation, attention, sleep, meditation, n-back) and evolutionary needs (fasting, exercise) to infer consequences for your own health. Tangentially related: how to read studies as a layperson to ultimately make decisions for yourself & your health? - Mastering/recapitulation of fundamentals of your craft (to stay sharp): "Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers." - Investing & microeconomics - Creativity: "Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated." - Being aware of non-conventional (and preferably non-exploitative) money making opportunities: "The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet." - How to operate a search engine effectively (how to come up with the right keywords to get what you're exactly looking for) - Self discipline in a highly distractible atmosphere - Emotional self-management - Organizing: PARA system, Johnny File System, Obsidian Reference: twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky) by @Naval twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

The problem in these types of discussions is the general conflation between income and wealth. In the US, most people are taught from a young age that they should strive for high-income, high-status jobs (engineer, doctor, lawyer). Yet that was the path to success 50 years ago, not today. As the article mentions, you can have a huge income while still having lots of debt, being unable to afford a home, etc. - especially if you live somewhere with a huge cost of living, like the Bay Area. When you are reliant on income, your money scales linearly with the effort and/or time that you put into your labor. (Actually, sub-linearly - the company you work for captures the majority of the value.) Conversely, to become wealthy, you must build ownership in something. Then, your money accumulates exponentially as a function of your labor input. One of the most successful people I know worked manual labor jobs, bought a small HVAC business, scaled it up, and now has contracts with most office buildings in one of the largest cities in the US. He is richer than 99% of FAANG engineers. twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468…

All fair points. I've found that radically limiting the people I follow has had a huge impact on the quality of my feed (and it's still not great). More often than not a tweet provides me with an introduction to a new topic / idea that I can then further explore off the site. I struggled to come up with good tweets on the spot -- here's my best shot: twitter.com/steveschoger/status/9971253… twitter.com/tobyshorin/status/115596556… twitter.com/naval/status/10021033606468… twitter.com/jmj/status/1114598412375035… Naval's does feel particularly like an elevator pitch though
