Duke Mtambo talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "Venture Journalist and Angel Influencer". Balaji Srinivasan introduces a new media business model he calls "venture journalism" or "angel influencer," where a person writes for an audience of one and can inspire or discover the next Mark Zuckerberg or Palmer Luckey and invest in them, creating a new type of public intellectual called an "Overton whale." He also discusses the concept of going short on one idea and long on a related idea, the importance of weak signals, and the need for a fusion between a public intellectual and a scientist to create the third culture.
