Everyone has opinions, but nobody owes you an audience. You earn influence by becoming genuinely impactful and memorable enough to change how people think. If you don't build real competence, people with worse motives will fill the void.
'Cause everybody has the right to an opinion. Nobody has the right to an opinion being heard. You have to earn that. And the best way to do that is to find a way to become impactful, right? To become memorable, right? To make people's lives change by interacting with you. This is so important. It's not just important for me. It's important for every single person, right? If you don't do that, other people will, and they'll do it with far shadier intentions. In my opinion, and it's pretty obvious, I think we're all noticing now, The opinions that are propped up by society are not good for society. You go around, what do you see? You see a lot of people protesting stuff that you don't really care about, stuff that you're probably like, why are they even talking about this? The only way to work against that is to become so competent and to become so remarkable that your voice cuts through the noise.
