Power and Speech

 Briefly reflecting on the nature of power and speech as currency. There are these interesting sets of people, with tiny intersections :

  • A : those with great objective accomplishments 
  • B : those who are well-spoken about their models of the world
  • C : those who present at attractive, and are thus influential 

Well,

  • ( A < B < C ) : is the ordering of membership size
  • ( A ^ C ) : these are typical celebrities
  • ( B ^ C ) : these are not horrible, but they are more like interviewers/ prophets
  • ( A ^ B ) : are people whose social media content I want to follow, but they often  don't present themselves, so often third-party coverage is needed
  • ( A ^ B ^ C ) : truly rare, and treasured members of society; to humanists these are gods ( figure of speech, I'm not a humanist myself )
