Marc Andreessen's information diet Summary: "I'm on a total barbell. Like, so I either get information that's current right now, or I'm reading a book more often than I was like 50 or 100 years old," he said. "What I try to do is basically like fuzz out everything over a day, week, month, even year time frame." He added: "It's one of the reasons I follow 20,000 people on Twitter". Transcript: Speaker 1 And so one is, yeah, I mean, look, there's a big information diet component to it, like what are your information sources? I'll just give you my version of it. Like 100% of my information diet is either social media or books. Like, I'm on a total barbell. Like, so I either get information that's current right now, or I'm reading a book that more often than I was like 50 or 100 years old. And what I try to do is basically like fuzz out everything over a day, week, month, even year time frame, and just like fuzzle that stuff out. So it's like it's either leading edge information, or it's like basically permanent value. And so what that does is like then my social media experience, the purpose of my time on social media as a consumer of it is basically, OK, what I want, keep me on the leading edge. Show me all the new stuff. Show me all the new thinking. Show me all the crazy ideas. Like, get me exposed to all of the really creative people. And it's one of the reasons I follow 20,000 people on Twitter.
