Summary

In the age of unlimited access to information, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information available. While basic information is readily accessible, deeper knowledge and expertise require filtering and curation.

This is especially true in the context of an MBA education, where access to filtered information becomes crucial. The availability of foundational information is copious, but accessing more specialized and advanced knowledge can be challenging.

It is important to prioritize and spend the premium on filters, such as curated reading lists and expert guidance, to navigate the overwhelming amount of information.

Access to filtered information is a privilege that comes at a cost. The cost of gaining access to professors or guest speakers can be quite high, such as the tuition at NYU. However, there are various ways to spend that money, from buying luxury items to starting a business or investing in knowledge.

Knowledge, like money, compounds over time and has the best return on invested capital in the long term. It is a deeply personal decision on how much to spend on filtered information, but it is an investment that pays off.
