Social Networks as a Tool for Honing Special Knowledge
I am reading Navalmanack with my own eyes, without agents. I am now at the part about finding and endlessly refining my Special Knowledge.
I realized that social networks such as X/Bluseky/Threads/Instagram/Telegram are a good tool for finding and confirming that Special Knowledge.
Every social media post reflects my experience, a unique step that sets me apart from everyone else. Together, these steps form my unique path from birth to where I am now.
So every post should be more than just a thought or an idea. It should confirm something I have done in the real world. It should reflect a change, an improvement, something that gives me experience.
So that when I scroll through my feed many years later, I can say, "Wow, did I do that? And that too?"
Through the lens of these small steps, small wins, and small changes, I will find what, as Naval puts it, I am the best in the world at. It must also be something that can be scaled and turned into a product, because if it is only interesting to me, it is not Specific Knowledge.
Once I find it, the best place to put it is in the Headline, so that everyone, especially me, can see it. And, of course, I will refine it regularly.
