I wrote a short satire piece on "influencers"

Excerpts from my original post (May 18, 2025):

🧠 Thought-leadery (adj.)

Not a real word. But it should be.

Think of it as a Sniglet — a made-up word that should exist, like those gems from the classic SNL skits.

thought-leadery /thôt-ˈlēd-ər-ē/
adj.
Resembling or characteristic of a thought leader, especially in a way that’s overly polished, vague, or heavy on buzzwords and light on substance.

Usage:
“That post was so thought-leadery I almost booked a breakthrough branding call.”

Examples:
– “Let’s co-create value in the authenticity space.”
– “Thoughts below 👇”
– “I help 7-figure founders unlock their scalable story.”

🔎 You know it when you see it.

(the rest of the post well a bit over the top now ..., you decide):


I’m not here for that.
I’m here for conviction > performance, clarity > charisma, and building with proof of work.

⚠️ And if I ever come across like that in any of my posts — please, I beg you:

SHOUT AT ME: “HYPOCRITE! YOU’RE DOING THE SAME THING BRO!”

We don’t need more thought leaders.
We need more real builders who show up, quietly and consistently.

⚡️ Zap me if you’re allergic to empty buzzwords too

This describes 95% of Bitcoin podcasters:

**Pseudo-intellectualism** is the use of complex language, jargon, abstract concepts, or impressive-sounding references to create the appearance of deep knowledge or intelligence, while lacking real understanding, expertise, or substance.

A closely related term is **obscurantism**, which means deliberately making something unclear, complicated, or difficult to understand, often to hide weak reasoning or limited knowledge.

**pseudo-intellectual obscurantism** — using unnecessarily complex language to appear knowledgeable and wise, especially to an audience less equipped to detect the lack of substance.

## Thinking for yourself begins when you stop waiting for the podcasters to tell you what to think.

They're not nearly as smart as they sound to someone just slightly less knowledgeable than they are.

**Do your own research.**

Formulate your own opinion.
