I think there are truths in there but depends on your view.

If you have a finite time and have a goal, is learning something that takes a longer time better towards that goal than being able to move fast and accumulate more capabilities that are on hand when you ‘forget’ them?

The answer engines and the context around my goals allow me to move at an unprecedented pace and move into places that were just not possible before.

But, the nuances learned concepts are indeed skipped over or Pareto’d


Saying it is not a tool is the most engineer thing ever to say.

My personal experience has been dramatic:

5/6g a day.

Very demanding job with lots of ‘thinking’

3 times a week gym

Pre creatine I would struggle to maintain ability to do the hard thinking around 3pm. Just like, fog or I could feel my brain didn’t have capacity.

Now, I am capable till the end of the day. Feels like a well trained athlete at the end of a game being able to deliver rather than just holding on.


Same, I feel I have way less brain fog days after taking creatine. Might be also due to more active lifestyle, which creatine is a part of.


I can off a few times and did loose the energy and focus.

I really noticed the effect coming back in but now it is my new normal.


This mirrors my experience. Very significant increase in prolonged focus.

Above a price point their is no objectively ‘better’

I have been playing for 40 years and can tell you I can be mediocre on a fender/squier/gibson


In 10 years the world will not be the same.


Ai rewards the curious


How do you know if someone has an MBA? They’ll tell you.
