You mention it’s unfortunate for you that one needs to produce in order consume. What’s the reason you say this? I think you mentioned before that you don’t work, but I just assumed you were retired.

Yeah, I mean there are different levels here. Not to compare myself with them, but you could draw a line from me through Zhengdong Wang to Tyler Cowen, all people who would prefer to be consuming than producing, but it's pretty clear the level of access one can achieve is dependent on the value of what you yourself can provide to others. On the tradeoff between low production versus high quality consumption, I'm way at the bottom.

I think I’m probably like you, though your possibility frontier is much further out than me. In that sense, you’ve still got something great and awe-inspiring going. The amount of material you get through is mind-boggling for a pleb like me.
