Eugene Wei – Tech, Media, and Culture - [Invest Like the Best, EP.117]

I think we will see the next generation of educational content be much more appealing visually - it'll have cinematic language and production values and will open up education to the masses in a way that we've never seen before from text.

Young people realize that communicating quickly is most efficiently done by a photograph or video and not by writing text....They say a photo is worth a thousand words - there's some truth to that.

Humans have realized it's more efficient to actually compete for status in these virtual worlds than it is in real life, and that's especially true for young people

I still think video has a lot of room to penetrate a lot of markets that we currently still rely heavily on text for

Everyone now has to figure out with their content how to compete with every other form of entertainment

I have this core thought that almost everything in the world could be fixed by tightening feedback loops

I certainly think there's a lot of great ideas locked away in books today that are very forbidding and not appealing to the masses which could be turned into educational content using video that would reach many more people

What the internet and social media have done essentially is increase the surface area of status seeking to the digital realm and virtual realm, and vastly expanded that surface area.

I just think if your best ideas are locked away in some dense textbook, by its very nature it's not going to reach a lot of the audience you want it to
