Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen explains the world with Sturgeon’s law. Largely, 10% of research, expertise, success is good or works, the rest is crap.

100% of the time I leave a smart remark on articles with a paywall....But I won’t this time because I have no idea what the article is about.

90% of everything is crap. That was true long before the internet. I think that is Sturgeon’s Law IIRC...

My husband read me this article this morning. I don’t have his access info to through the paywall, so I can quote it, but the gist was that 90% of everything is BS. I can say that is surely how I view my Congress critters (my opinion is even lower than that of them), the education system, and so much more.

Just another plagiarized version of Pareto’s Law - 20% of people do everything. Sturgeon just changes the percentage.

To: RicocheT
That ratio seems about right. Trying to discern the useful ten per cent is hard enough, and wisdom requires that one be careful and discrete about identifying the useless ninety per cent.
To: RicocheT
“10% of research, expertise, success is good or works, the rest is crap.”
So why don’t we just cut out the other 90%?

Because 90% of such efforts to do so fail.

Well okay.
TBH I had never heard of Pareto’s principle until I just looked it up.
