Key Takeaways

1

Businesses can 'unbundle' massive experiences like Disneyland by creating physical, high-touch environments for niche communities such as dog owners or fans of specific YouTube IP.

2

The 'Play to Earn' crypto gaming model shifts digital entertainment from a time-sink into a yield-generating asset, allowing users to truly own and trade in-game currency and items.

3

Common scientific 'facts,' such as the $75,000 happiness ceiling, are often based on misread log-scale graphs or weak correlations, necessitating a critical eye toward popular research summaries.
