An ambitious person wants to learn as much as possible. I am sure you can relate.
When you want to learn, everyone is a guru. As they say, when you are a hammer everything looks like a nail. And yes, everyone is a guru. But more often than not they are being a guru to you, not to your craft. That is an important distinction and a hard one. Ego-less wisdom that is actually helpful to you is like a jackpot.
And only losers play the lottery.
Those nuggets of wisdom have nothing to do with your craft. No wisdom of the world applies to this new beautiful thing you are trying to manifest in the real world. Hell, it might even halt its progress. Except for the rules of physics, no "insight" is helpful.
Institutions and content are invisible layers over a human's regrets. All humans who make those are also figuring out as they go. So, it just makes for a better option for doing things on your own terms, in the most humble way possible. My favorite example: Airbnb.
There might be only a handful of simulations where Airbnb exists. This is one of them. Whenever I read a startup insight (disguised as advice), I think about Airbnb and more often than not, they did not do whatever it suggests. Or did exactly the opposite. Yet, it not only exists but is one of the most beautifully designed products of the 21st Century.
One had to relentlessly will it into reality with conscious thought and execution.
You need to write more. Always a pleasure reading it.
