I've come to realize that the ability to read deeply and reason critically is still incredibly rare.
I believe what makes humans valuable in the age of AI comes down to three things: creativity, taste, and judgment.
Creativity and taste are hard to cultivate. They often require some combination of talent and exposure to the right environment.
But if we can't even read deeply or think things through, we're effectively surrendering our judgment to AI.
And that's a frightening thought.
