Dwarkesh Patel's essay did not make much sense to me, and I don't get either how people like Jeff Bezos have time for something like this. Apparently Mark Andreessen and Paul Graham are paid to tweet all day, and they are experts at everything. Do they hire ghost-writers? How does this work?

you get big at one thing like founding a company, then use the money and reputation that follows to spend your days tweeting takes on subjects you don't really have a deep understanding of - but people still listen because you have that-one-successful-thing which translates to intelligence in all areas to the average reader

a good rule of thumb I like is to downplay the opinions of famous people who tweet more than 3 times a day
