Instagram Life

“Instagram Life” is a phrase Kyle uses in his notes on How To Take Smart Notes to capture how people live their lives differently because they know so much of it will end up posted on social media — for example, spending money on experiences rather than ‘things.’ He raises it as a parallel to Information Ingestion: just as deliberate, public-facing posting changes how you live, consuming information deliberately with the purpose of feeding public thinking changes how you read, listen, and take notes. The connection is the behavioral shift that comes from knowing your input is destined for a public output. Kyle tags the observation #Influencers.

Where this appears

• How To Take Smart Notes — invoked as an analogy in the Information Ingestion section; living differently because life ends up on social media (experiences over things), mirroring how deliberate ingestion changes intellectual habits
