How do I stop being a hipster? I saw Bryan Caplan advising his readers to read Scott Alexander and my first reaction was "Oh no, a well-known blog is recommending people read my favorite little blog. Now more people will read it and I won't be as special." I know this feeling is irrational, but how can I overcome it?
You should nurture that feeling if it drives you to push ahead to the next level of excellence that is beyond what is common today.
If it means you are just trying to be different for the sake of social signaling, then it is not quite so useful a feeling.
