This seems to me like a deeply important thread, which I think I should work to wrap my head around. If the basic conceit is true, I think it should impact my world view about as much as say...learning about game theory. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1341099812687466496
It reminds me of some thoughts I had reading a @SamoBurja article. (Though I'm not claiming that my point is the same as @vgr's.)

"When I read this paragraph, I have a sense that the world is dominated / inhabited by not individuals, but institutions.
The individuals are like minos swimming in the ecosystem, but the world is really story of competing and interacting institutions.

Like, trying to get power as an individual is misguided. There are powerful behemoths walking the earth and you can't even close to compete.
(Well, actually, small teams might be able to compete, but teams are still not individuals.)"
