Comment on The Rise of the Practitioner-Publisher by Taylor Pearson

Thanks for the kind words!

I think we’re in a bit of a “liminal passage” right now. Credentialism is moving away but there isn’t a clear successor. E.g. In the publishing industry you could write a very good book w/o being published by a major publishing house, but how do people tell? Amazon star ratings are too easy to fake. Right now it’s all referral. Perhaps the social graph will expand and referrals at scale will replace credentials?
