I idly wonder whether having easier access to information about “how to truly benefit and improve yourself” is the cause. The more it becomes common knowledge, the more people will be competing to do that thing.

In this view, everything has become closer to an ideal free market, and the stories of olde about getting in to Stanford with a 3.8 were a lucky guy stumbling upon an undervalued asset.

All the information that's public and accessible is worthless. No one will share inside scoop on how things really work and how to take advantage of them. The garbage floats to the surface because it has no value.

Like someone was going to share with others how to become rich in 6 months if they knew it.

I'm struggling to understand how the vast archive of freely available lectures from university professors is "worthless." Are those videos and accompanying homework exercises part of the garbage that's floated to the top?

It’s really not a struggle.

What will an Indian rickshaw driver accomplish if he learns Lin Alg? Will they offer him a n interview at OpenAi because of it?

Im talking about hidden knowledge that will change your life not about how to learn what torque is.
