Basically, what you're describing is a human making themselves legible to the internet.

When you do that, weird, cool stuff just starts to happen.

Your people find you.

I'm smitten by all these examples.

Imagine being Charlie Munger and meeting Warren Buffett.

Over dinner.

And it's like, yeah, of course they were rude to everybody for 90 minutes.

Of course they ignored everyone.

Of course they got deeper and deeper into a private conversation in the middle of a large dinner.

I don't want to overdo it.

Soulmates or something, but close intellectual sparring partners that in some crazy world both worked for whatever Warren's grandfather or vice versa, however it works.

You come across this person and you can't find the bottom and you're like, oh my gosh.

I don't know if either one of them went home that night and said, I want to call this person every day for the rest of my life.

But it's believable that they would.

And it's believable that they would say, finally, there's someone else out there that I can shadowbox with and pressure test my thinking with.

It's surely been an amazing feeling in my life when I've come across those people.

And of course, they're not hundreds of them, but dozens of them or more.

It's an awesome feeling.

I think it's such a wonderful place to close this awesome conversation.

I sometimes think about what will I title these things as I'm having the conversation.
