Fellow Elitists

Preface

Books are outdated. Taking its place are bite-sized essays: X on the short end, The Atlantic on the long end. Since all I care about is the time-efficiency of knowledge, I welcome this 21st-century trend.

But I hate Substack. Yes, it’s more efficient than books, but the trade-off is that it’s a bunch of self-important pseudointellectuals who write long-winded, borderline retarted blog posts. I identify two causes. First, the like/comment feature incentivizes distribution over substance. Second, the requirement for a (user)name incentivizes lukewarm takes and a self-selection of authors more interested in marketing their personal brand than substance.

That’s why I started this neo-book. Instead of frothy language to hit a 250-page minimum, I will write in 250-word chapters. Instead of slaving over aesthetics, I will publish on static HTML pages. Instead of esoteric political issues, I will write about simple personal observations. Instead of plugging into a social-media algorithm, I will never advertise this website—not because I do not want it to be read, but because its content must remain pure.

Every great piece of writing needs a founding thesis. Here is mine: in a world rife with noise, it is important to have opinionated reporting that cuts through the bullshit because it knows what it knows and knows what it does not.

Topics will cover life at Harvard, collegiate startup culture, and Gen-Z psychology. Cheers.
