# Authenticity Is the Creator's Irreplaceable Advantage by Bryant McGill > “In the new power structure, authenticity becomes a person's greatest value proposition because no one else can reproduce the exact synthesis of experience, observation, judgment, and original thought from which useful work emerges. As technology equalizes the tools of creation, the irreplaceable advantage is a life examined carefully enough to become valuable to others. Authenticity is the source of value a creator carries into every medium.” > **— Bryant McGill**, *Authenticity and the New Power Structure - Livestream (Oct 2015)* ## Sources and Context - **Source:** [[livestreams/Authenticity and the New Power Structure - Livestream|Authenticity and the New Power Structure - Livestream]] — exact quotation from the dated developed livestream document (2015-10-17). ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Bell Labs and the Distributed Architecture of American Power|Bell Labs and the Distributed Architecture of American Power]] - **Livestream:** [[livestreams/Authenticity and the New Power Structure - Livestream|Authenticity and the New Power Structure - Livestream]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Authenticity|Authenticity]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “In the new power structure, authenticity becomes a person's greatest value proposition because no one else can reproduce the exact synthesis of experience, observation, judgment, and original thought from which useful work emerges.
