Finding Information Efficiently
Find the branches online:
Might be a low quality information deposit (i.e. Coursera, reddit, facebook etc) —people will link to other better quality information deposits
Talking to people:
If you’re only making close connections with people, you’re doing it wrong—really try to get recognition with valuable connections//professional connections—if you phrase yourself into a few sentences, such that it peaks their curiosity in you//you’ll be golden.
Don’t just look for one person, look for multiple people who might have the information you’re looking for.
Combine the previous two:
Think of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, thought-experiment. If you wanna get in touch with someone in the world, choose someone you think might know someone who knows that person or someone who knows someone who knows someone etc..
This can and should be extended to online connections, because you can go further and further into finding someone using SNS and reduce those degrees of connections.
