the internet multiplies at-bats

one of the coolest things (also detrimental in some ways) about the internet is the optionality it gives you.

to become extraordinary, you only need to do one or two things people remember you for that are life altering. & the internet lets you keep compounding attempts at ~zero marginal cost until one of them lands. you can see examples everywhere like peter from openclaw. you see this time & time again in the internet era. that is a profound break from the past.

take for example ray kroc… he didn’t get infinite shots. every attempt for him cost years, capital, geography, leases, labor, & distribution. he got maybe a handful of real swings in a lifetime.

now one person can swing every day, in public basically for free forever.
