    • I want to have a positive return on every bid for your attention I make
    • for everything that I'm demanding, I'm already providing the value
    • it's not about coercion it's about expected value
    • strategy:
      • provide value to begin with that is relevant to your other offerings
      • then have easy ways to get more offerings
    • M > huh, and like, what if I make a bunch of videos & articles about how to implement Complice on paper or in text files... as if it didn't even exist as software!
    • principles
      • no bombardment
      • no hurrying
      • for attention, go by what a coherent agent would want
      • no exploiting loss & regret aversion (fake scarcity)
    • transparent reflective equilibrium
      • imagine a scenario where you're marketing to X and if X knew everything that was going through your head, they'd be okay with it
      • I exist in a state of transparent reflective equilibrium with all the people that I'm trying to reach out to
      • kinda like open source
    • skill framing: "one challenge you're not prepared for"
      • not "one shortcoming you have"
