Thinkfluence

Far from spelling the end of serious literature by people such as James Wood and Ian McEwan, this system finally gives us an objective measure for assessing their worth, which is a function not of originality but thinkfluence.

There are few things hotter in tech right now than artificial intelligence. You’ll hear people with titles like "chief experience officer" and "thinkfluence concierge" talk about "neural networks" and "machine learning" and "natural language processing."

From Colorado Gov. Jared Polis to Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, the archetype is increasingly familiar in politics and in the online game of thinkfluence—but Palihapitiya has struck the most populist pose of all.

Do you long to become a "thought leader", thinkfluencing your way from TED talk to tech conference, lauded for your insights?

This is an attempt at thinkfluencing, being an ideas guy. Except no one respects ideas guys on Twitter.
