Hey all, I'm new here. I came across Andrew Kirby's "downloadable brain" of Alex Hormozi and Naval Ravikant. A couple months ago I did something similar, where I scraped tweets and sifted through them manually to synthesize them into common ideas inside Obsidian. I set out with the question,
"What do all 'successful' people talk about that's common?"
There were at least 41 ideas that I found valuable. It's obviously a never-ending process, but I found some things that I wasn't expecting. Others I've heard before and serve as reminders to me.
I thought I'd share it here in case it provides you some value. It's all free and open-source right now if you want to download it and mess around with it. Let me know what you think!
I'll also list the 41 ideas below, but personally, I think the real value is in seeing how different people all talked about the same idea, which you can only see inside Obsidian through backlinks and the graph view.
