A thought leader —
Someone whose opinion, thoughts and ideas sway and impact and influence the crowd and society.
For example, Elon Musk as meme lord of the internet and more recent Dogecoin advocate (I wonder when Elon Musk will tweet when you can buy a Tesla in DOGE?)
Simple ideas:
- Better to be insanely stubborn in your vision than get easily swayed by others. Boldness of vision and irrationality and “irrational exuberance” as good.
- Ignore social media, the news and any media. Creative thought isolation necessary to distill your own creative vision and ideas.
- Propagate your own thoughts, ideas and ideals on your own self hosted website blog. Make an email newsletter, podcast, or YouTube with no ads— just your thoughts.
Above all, allow yourself to become more audacious in your thinking and beliefs. As Peter Thiel says:
Better to risk boldness than triviality.
