Be Really Good at One "Useless" Thing
Shownotes
Most people try to become useful by learning skills the world has already decided are valuable.
But there may be another path: become exceptionally good at something you’re naturally drawn to, even if it seems “useless,” and let the useful application emerge later.
In this episode, I explore why unusual abilities often become valuable only after they’re developed deeply enough for other people to recognize what they can do with them.
Maybe the mistake is trying to predict usefulness too early.
Be really good at one “useless” thing. Let society figure out what it’s for.
