If you can actually think, you’re going to do well in the age of “A.I.”
It doesn’t matter if you use the tool or not. What matters is the quality of your thinking. This has always been true.
- Thinking means you can see possibilities where others see obstacles.
- Thinking means you can create something of value out of “nothing.”
- Thinking means you are able to expand your consciousness beyond the context of the current situation so new connections can be discovered.
School destroys the ability to think. Watching screens destroys the ability to think. Doing what you’re told destroys the ability to think. Obsessing about the right answers instead of the right questions destroys your ability to think.
It’s refreshing when you meet another thinker. There is something different about them. They offer the spark of NEW, a gateway to the POSSIBLE that you don’t feel with other people.
Most people don’t think, won’t think, don’t know they aren’t thinking and ultimately don’t care. And now that A.I. is available, they will become even less competitive than ever.
They might be fast, they just won’t be GOOD.
So this presents an enormous opportunity for people with real skills, talents and abilities who want to offer them to the marketplace.
If you can think, YOU WILL STICK OUT.
You can kickstart your ability to think by doing some pretty simple things:
- Stop doing only what you are told, what you’re “supposed to do.” All of those rules were made up by losers who wanted to control others.
- Stop trying to do it “right.” “Right” is an opinion, not a fact.
- Stop trying to please others. There is no easier way to waste a life than to live it according to the wishes of someone else.
Focus on being EFFECTIVE, USEFUL, VALUABLE.
There are no rules for those things.
If you’ve ever wanted to get paid for BEING and not just DOING, practicing the art of thinking is the way.
