Obey propaganda :D
actually, conform to influence doesn't mean that. It means, to influence a group you need to be part of the group. To be part of the group, you need to first conform to the group.
- stavros 5y agoAh I see, I read "influence" as a noun when you meant it as a verb. Very ambiguous though.
- jrochkind1 5y agoIt's actually a very pithy phrase, because it's exactly the "message" of the product as art, reversed. Stavros would prefer not to conform, and doesn't care if that means he doesn't influence. Although... ironically he is probably one of the more influential HN posters. Now, profitable, I dunno, do you really mean "conform [in order] to profit", does "influence" just mean "exploit" [in the economic sense. mostly] now? Can we conceive of someone who would rather not conform and in fact would rather not exploit?
- stavros 5y agoI can confirm I have influenced zero people, which is probably for the best.
