The world today is filled with people who want credit (monetary and socially) for creation, but don’t do any of the actual work to create. Financiers, MBA’s, product managers, VC’s, “tech enthusiats”, people using AI to generate images and then calling it art, and so on.

From a cursory perspective, this is very disheartening. Our culture adores the managerial class and practically worships successful money managers.

But, the silver lining is that the bar has literally never been lower to be a successful craftsman. Learn a craft, apply it well, create value for people, and you’ll be ahead of 80% of the population, at least.

Oh, and once you create that value, make sure you #stacksats to protect yourself 😉
