Thinking in Public
The economy is smart people paying beautiful people to sell things to insecure people.
Read it slow and it sorts itself out. Smart people build the funnel — the psychology, the timing, the growth loop. Beautiful people are the face on it — the ad, the reel, the smile that makes the pitch land. Insecure people are the audience the first two are built to reach.
You're probably all three in the same day. You strategize your own post at 8am, curate your face for it at noon, and by evening you're the one buying something to feel better about scrolling past someone else's.
It's hard to not be all of them. Creating is better than consuming.
