Naval's Twitter feed is like a Deep Neural Network based Quote generator. I guess his thread of How to become rich trended everywhere but I'm not sure how many really got anything practically applied with those things. He very much reminds Silicon Valley (HBO) to me. Is it how usually VCs talk or it's just an image of an Angel Investing Monk that he's building? It's a genuine question I've got (Someone who lives far away from the Bay area)

If you say as little as possible people will reflect their own beliefs in the words and you just can't be wrong.

  People have made millions using just this little fact right here. Pose as an expert and say most generic BS and let people do the mental gymnastics to have it match their world view. A starter pack would include gems like, "any person who have wanted something bad enough has gotten it", "never let anyone tell you your dreams are just that", "success is right after the point when you give up", "only if you knew you were destined for tres comas club" etc. Please join my course on life-coaching if you are interested in this field.

    Getting rich is never about luck, especially when you get rich by luck.

I think this is an unfair representation of Naval. If you only look at Twitter of course you will only find short messages, that's precisely what Twitter is about! Listen to this interview to Naval if you want a long format: https://fs.blog/knowledge-project/naval-ravikant/ https://fs.blog/knowledge-project/naval-ravikant/

Someone on Twitter recently called it the "tech bro version of white girl quotes". Maybe I'm getting a limited view on him through only sometimes seeing the Tweets but they seem pretty general and I don't see how people can get anything useful out of them.
