I'm fascinated by the rise of frictionmaxxing as a response to a frictionless life. We engineer away inconvenience, only to discover that some of the friction we removed was part of what made life feel alive in the first place
life is absurd. we've got to play the cards we've been dealt. play it right, bluff a lot, check raise the hell out of everything.
but never ever wish you had your opponents cards β they might be holding on to a laundry while you had the nuts all along.

Someone asked what was the best way to get hired by a startup. I told him it was to start one and then hire himself.

-writing essays
-solving problems with a pen
-drawing diagrams, sketches, flowcharts, graphs
-writing VBA macros or algorithmic/mathematical/technical code (logic oriented; not the digital pipes)
-running simulations
still necessary to absorb knowledge & build skills post-AI
