Information is free now; judgment is the scarce asset, argues Ben Bajarin
BenBajarin · x · 2026-09-19
Quoting a post arguing that information is basically free—the same X feed, SEC filings, transcripts, and AI for everyone—Ben Bajarin endorses the point that access was never the hard part; judgment is: knowing what matters, deciding, and having the conviction to follow through. Bajarin adds that experience, judgment, and a deep and wide view remain rare, and notes his firm has fairly unique access.
No specific event or data; an opinion piece on judgment scarcity in the AI era.
