Unconventional Thought Is the Differentiator

I think one of the most important ideas right now to think about is that unconventional thought is becoming way more of a differentiator and something that sets you apart. The better AI gets at learning everything about the world, the more it's going to know how to do average things really well, and in fact, better than any of us.

What we're going to have to do is focus on unique thoughts, contradictory thoughts, controversial thoughts, and novel thoughts. We actually need to be able to come up with novel thoughts. The way to do that, in my opinion, is to deeply resonate with yourself, understand how you are different, your own personal differences from other people, and what you think personally should be different in the world.

This inner connection with yourself is critically important because it's what provides the uniqueness of self. The more you quiet this, or the more this was quieted for you during your training, your learning, your upbringing, your peers, and your parents pushing this out of you, the more you end up adopting their ideas, their goals, and everything. This is actually horribly bad and needs to be reversed because the thing that's going to stand out after everyone is so good with AI and is able to execute anything with AI is the unique ideas, the novel ideas. They are going to stand out.

That requires that you have them, which requires that you have a self that vibrates at a frequency and is strong enough to actually produce things. That requires that you read a lot and take lots of different inputs and stuff like that, but this concept of unique thoughts, novel thoughts, and unconventional thoughts being a signal is critically important. I think it's something that everyone needs to work on.
