- When you work with others but its relation is somewhat closed, you get L(PN). But when you literally open up yourself to random encounter, given that you don’t get distracted from them, you might get L((PN)^2). The point is how to play with the relation between P and N, and explode your learning curve accordingly.
- You can be the Infinite Learner L(N) (someone who doesn’t repeat the same mistakes) with a system like Second Brain, but you can also introduce another variable P and turn into the Networked Learner L(PN), or via ‘learn in public’ L((PN)^2)
- L for learning, N years of experience, with P peers
Pis likely to grow withNas a function of your seniority and influence - making a good Networked Learner grow on the order ofL(N^2)which is plenty great. But if you can figure out how to growPsuperlinearly withN- by writing, speaking, teaching, etc - you can make your career explode in possibility.- I.e., permeate multiversally instead of across in just one timeline!
