Eric Weinstein just described the end of the mapped life.

For ten thousand years, humans had to earn the right to exist.

Pick a noun. Become the noun. Die as the noun.

Accountant. Teacher. Radiologist.

The box had a name. You climbed inside and stayed until retirement or death.

Weinstein: “Every occupation that is named is over.”

Not automated. Not replaced.

Named.

You picked a noun. It told the world who you were. Then it told you who you were.

If your future has a title your parents recognize, that future is already dissolving beneath you.

Weinstein: “A tsunami of a lifetime is coming and nothing your elders have seen is gonna prepare you.”

People hear this and assume it’s about unemployment.

It’s not. It’s about identity.

The machines aren’t absorbing tasks. They’re dissolving the categories we built ourselves around.

You spent your whole life becoming a noun. The noun is about to stop existing.

When the label disappears, what’s left of you?

Weinstein: “Get flexible. Get good on a bunch of different stuff. Learn how to think across disciplines.”

Stop being a noun. Start being a verb.

But the most important thing Weinstein said has nothing to do with strategy.

It touches something much older. Something closer to the bone.

In a world where AI is world-class at everything, what is the point of a human being?

Weinstein: “I think you should be able to just have a life. I have a golden retriever. I don’t know that it’s the greatest golden retriever in the world.”

For ten thousand years, human worth was measured by output.

How much you could lift. How fast you could think. How much value you could squeeze from a single day.

We trained ourselves to think like machines because machines didn’t exist yet.

Now they do.

And they will be better than us at every measurable thing.

Most people hear that and feel terror. They should feel something closer to relief.

When a machine can do it better, the metric dies. When the metric dies, the cage opens.

You were never supposed to be a spreadsheet. You were never supposed to justify your breath with a job title.

Your golden retriever doesn’t optimize. It doesn’t produce quarterly earnings. It doesn’t prove it’s worth to anyone.

It just lives. And you love it anyway.

That was always the offer. We just couldn’t afford it.

Now we can.

We spent ten thousand years trying to prove we were machines.

The machines just arrived to tell us we never had to be.

@kenmogi Dr. Mogi, I recently sent you a short email regarding a possible interview for my wife Ana Galeote’s book. We will be in Tokyo for fieldwork (Mar 21–Apr 1) and would be honored to speak with you if ever convenient.

"Algunas personas con talento son gilipollas, lo que puede hacer pensar a aquellos sin experiencia que ser un gilipollas forma parte de ser alguien con talento.

Pero la realidad es otra; su talento es simplemente lo que les permite salirse con la suya." -Paul Graham

@willahmed I've tried many different wearables in the last few years, and none of them have gotten even closer to @WHOOP . Whatever you guys are doing, I'm into it! So excited to see what's coming next.

@famima_now スーパーヨーグルカルシウム、毎日飲んでいたのですが、最近沖縄のファミリーマートで見かけなくなってしまいました。東京でも数日間探しましたが、見つけることができませんでした。何か問題があったのでしょうか？もう一度購入できるようになることを楽しみにしています！😊

Tu mayor responsabilidad en la vida es sacar lo mejor de ti. Trabajar por tu virtud y excelencia no es egoísta, sino la forma más saludable y auténtica de contribuir al mundo. Nunca permitas que nadie te haga sentir culpable por perseguir tu mejor versión.

Bill Gates dice que una vaca contamina más que un coche.

Ok Billy. Qué te parece si nos encerramos cada uno en un garaje durante una noche, yo con una vaca y tú con un coche en marcha. Nos vemos para desayunar por la mañana y discutimos los resultados. @WatchChad

Recuerda, tu ansiedad te miente.

Te dice que todo el mundo se va reír de ti cuando realmente a nadie le importa una mierda.

[Antonio J. Aguirre @ElCoachNono]

Quien eres en tu cabeza (tus pensamientos, deseos, motivaciones, emociones, sesgos) no te define como una buena o mala persona. Lo único que importa es cómo te comportas. Si para ser una buena persona has de ignorar tus tendencias naturales, más mérito aún.

Esperar hasta el 1 de enero para arreglar nuestros problemas es precisamente por lo que tenemos problemas que arreglar.

[Farnam Street @farnamstreet]

A life well lived.

“I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.”

“If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.”

“Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.”

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”

“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.”

“I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don’t have any real knowledge.”

– Charlie Munger

En la corta lista de cosas que son ciertas encontramos el hecho de que la vida es efímera. Dado que sólo tenemos una oportunidad, más nos vale reflexionar sobre los objetivos que debemos fijarnos y trabajar para conseguirlos.

Seguir ciegamente órdenes de quienes obviamente no tienen ni idea de lo que hacen ni por qué, no solamente no te hacen una persona más honorable, también te convierte en un estúpido.
