I think investing in social engineer, like makes an X account and using it genuinely is one of the most profitable investment in the near future.
It makes you learn cold turkey about what really makes us human: the network of wants and desires. You can see who really stand out: The convincers, the seducer, the salespeople, the attention player. I hate to acknowledge this, but it’s true:
The Slop Master. Someone who masters both of: Self-control & Crowd-control.
The innovation in science and tech makes the ceiling achievable by the godlike brain and mad-man scientist. Like really: you have to go to CERN only to bang some tiny particles and make a new one. Or become top 0.0001% at machine learning to crank up current LLMs benchmarks.
Today, the hidden gems, someone who equivalent to Einstein or Michelangelo make tiny influential impact compared to the goofy Tate brothers who speak in stupid language loud and proud, infecting the youngs into thinking they were based and straight, but in reality, they are cringe and gay.
Or you can look at someone like Bryan Johnson, the goofy vampire, the smart guy. He tries to make the simplest idea of “don’t die” sound like a cult from science fiction, so he embraces it and makes himself a shitposter.
They play stupid games and make huge stupid amounts of prizes. One sold their Bugatti, one sold a company at $800 million.
Fact that someone who change the world: Jobs, Gates, Zuck, Musk are not genius technical people. They just got huge balls at socializing with tech in their monkey hands, crazy.
Social engineers know how humans behave, literally one of the most complex algorithms and the riskiest knowledge to play with. While other engineers only know a fraction of human-made complexity.
If you are in tech, art, science, fitness, or anything, learn to socialize. It leverage you to conquer and change the world to become like what you want.
Yeah intelligence becomes so cheap, while the quality real frens we made along the way become even more priceless.
In this era, if you have no idea how to handle yourself and didn’t have the courage to understand other human and its slop, you’re ngmi.
