HYPERLEGIBILITY

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

In our information-saturated era, we're witnessing a paradoxical phenomenon where people voluntarily surrender their informational edge by making themselves increasingly easy to understand. Whereas information was once the highest form of alpha, accessible only through extraordinary effort (like scaling cliffs to decipher ancient inscriptions), today we're incentivized through game theory to broadcast our best ideas, trading secrets for attention in a world where knowledge is commoditized and standing out requires making yourself hyperlegible to algorithms, investors, customers, and peers.
