Genuine question: who is the audience for this? Or more broadly, what is the purpose of this piece?
Any 26yr olds care to chime in? Are there people that get something out of this? What's that like?

- the-printer 4y agoIt looks like the author is somewhere between a self-help dude and a productivity chap and a “life hack, growth hacker” man. So he’s trying to sell us a book, maybe teach us how to earn passive income. Things like that. I reckon that this post resonates with exactly who he’s describing in the title: Twenty-somethings (predominantly male), who are looking for advice that would give them (theoretically) a ten-year head start on whoever doesn’t read this post?
- kelseyfrog 4y agoFascinating. It would be a real treat to engage with someone for whom this material felt transformative. It feels like there would be a rather large gap between someone such as that and myself and it would be interesting to learn what makes them tick. Thank you.
- hellisothers 4y agoI’ve met some of these people and its less that it’s transformative and more that it’s reaffirming their world view. It’s a circle high-5 that they know more than us sheeple.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoIs it possible to summarize this world view? I'm afraid I am (like many others here) a bit too much of a cynic to appreciate these sort of mantras. It feels a bit like learning about a new (sub-)culture.
