One Of The Greatest Differentiators For The Future
It Seems So Simple, But So Few Ever Do It That It Makes You Undeniable
One Of The Greatest Differentiators For The Future
It Seems So Simple, But So Few Ever Do It That It Makes You Undeniable
Written by a human, for humans, always.
Many people are worried about the future.
I get it.
There is a lot in the world to be worried about.
Amongst the reasons that exist...
One of the things that many people are worried about...
Is whether they will be able to stand out in the world in the future.
Some point to advances in AI.
Others see the distributions of information...
And the expanding access that people have.
Now, to this point...
None of these things have worried me.
Why?
It comes to one simple reason...
The greatest differentiator that I have seen...
Which is going to sound so simple...
Yet...
I have seen so few people “actually” do it.
What is it?
Think for yourself.
Let me tell you what that does “not” mean.
It does not mean listening to more news.
It does not mean watching more videos and podcasts.
It does not mean looking at more social media.
It does not mean reading more books.
It does not mean asking AI to answer your questions.
It does not mean taking a course or getting a degree.
None of these are thinking for yourself.
You may need to do them...
And I encourage you to do so...
But absolutely none of them require you to think for yourself.
All of these are ways to take in information...
Not always good information...
And in today’s world, there is a significant amount of misinformation and propaganda...
Which I find even smarter people than I constantly falling for....
But at the end of all it...
It is not thinking.
Thinking for yourself requires you to go beyond what you take in.
You need to apply it...
Use it...
Gain experiences directly with it...
But most importantly for the sake of differentiating yourself...
Your thinking needs to take you beyond what currently exists.
That is really the biggest differentiator.
If you pay close attention...
Most of the information that you see in the world today...
Is the same.
It creates a status quo.
Echo chambers.
Paraphrases.
But what is ironic...
Is that if you pay closer attention to all of this information...
You will also discover that the vast majority of it...
Is useless.
It fails to uphold its own logic.
It is based on perceptions that do not match reality.
It is emotional without being attached to anything verifiable.
It is theory that never plays out when practiced.
It is promises without any demonstrated results.
You see the same information...
Packaged and repackaged over and over again...
Pretending to be something different...
Resulting in the same failures and misunderstandings at every single corner.
Why?
Because people are not actually thinking.
They allow other things to “think” for them...
Then...
They never actually question what is entering into their heads...
And the result is...
Everything that “think” is shallow...
Lackluster...
And useless.
If even 1% of people actually used their brains to do real thinking...
We could see a dramatically better world.
But we do not.
Because no one is actually thinking.
They are not using their brains at all.
They are simply acting like cattle being milked for whatever they can produce...
Until they are deemed useless...
And then they are led to the slaughter.
The truth of the matter is...
If this is how you are living your life constantly...
You should be afraid...
You are no different from every other cow, and you will eventually be put out to pasture...
All because you are not using the one thing that differentiates you.
If you want to become differentiated...
For once...
Actually use your brain.
Do some real thinking...
Move beyond what you have learned and what you see...
Do not take things at face value...
Search more deeply...
And more clearly.
If you just used your brain to do a bit of thinking...
You would begin to see...
How few people actually do it at any level...
Rich or poor...
Across nationalities...
Or religions...
Powerful or weak...
Intelligent or not...
The truth is that very few individuals ever think...
And when you begin to think even just a little bit...
You begin to understand just how easy it is to differentiate yourself.
AI is nothing to be afraid of because it is a tool that simply repeats what is known...
Often incorrectly.
The expanding distribution and access to information does not really matter...
Because most of it is useless anyway...
And so little of it is original...
With only a tiny percentage of that even attempting to push beyond what is plain to see.
It is no different from junk food...
If you consume it without questioning it...
You will become obese and start to suffer from a variety of sicknesses.
The same is true with how most people consume information without thinking...
Except their obesity and sicknesses are of the mind, emotions, and spirit.
Truly...
There are more superstar athletes in the world than true thinkers...
Despite true thinking being an easier goal to accomplish.
That is the reality of today’s world...
Some people have gone through most of their entire lives...
Without really thinking...
And you can usually tell this in two ways...
One is that they have nothing valuable to add...
Two, they cannot come up with any real answers when asked questions...
Because they have never really thought about what they believe they know.
Worse...
When you begin to ask the questions...
And they begin to see where their logic fails...
Or how little they actually know...
Their usual response is either attack or run...
Fight or flight...
Because it is a chilling experience to discover...
That you have never really thought in your entire life.
Even if you are “right” in your thoughts...
How do you know if you have never actually thought about them?
I have seen many people...
Who had the truth...
Become deceived and misled...
Because they had never actually thought about what they had...
And so they become easily manipulated when they realize they have never really thought.
Why?
When we have never thought...
And someone asks us questions we cannot answer...
We assume the person who asked us has answers that we do not...
Even if in reality they have not thought in their lives either and are just parroting what they have heard.
But...
You can begin to change this dynamic...
And really stand out in the world...
If you begin to deeply think...
Because when you do...
You can discover real answers for yourself...
And not be deceived when others ask questions they themselves have never really thought about...
Nor be misled by the vast amount of misinformation and propaganda that exists.
All you need to do...
Is actually think.
