The Age of Infinite Leverage

Every human with an internet connection has access to infinite leverage.

By posting a video, podcast, or tweet, one’s ideas can spread instantly with no cost.

In the marketplace of ideas, the gatekeepers are disappearing.

In the past, a television studio or radio station run by corporations could decide what made it to the end user’s eyes and ears.

Now, anyone can reach everyone.

The most respected commentators in politics, culture, and economics are individuals with a keyboard, a microphone, a camera, and a perspective.

Ideas are mating, evolving, and dying faster than ever before.

Strong ideas and weak ideas can compete on the same playing field.

This is the most exciting time to be alive.
