My grandfather was a seasonal agricultural labourer. He was also a fisherman and a construction worker. His family was not wealthy, I think he was stronger than anyone else in terms of the power to survive.
AI outstrips human capacity, AI is outstripping human capabilities and taking all kinds of jobs, What I am attracted to is that kind of "human strength".
It is not about brawn. Nor is it about strength of spirit. It's not about "identifying what's important" or "self-discipline." It is not about willpower. It's about a quieter, softer strength. It is about the strength to live in harmony with nature.
Perhaps than those who strive with a will, than those who simply live according to the rhythms of nature, In truth, people who simply live in accordance with the rhythm of nature may be much stronger. My grandfather was such a person.
Economic textbooks divide industry into three categories. The primary industry is agriculture and forestry, the secondary industry is manufacturing, and the tertiary industry is information and finance. For a long time, the most valuable people were those who could abstract. The closer one was to the financial markets and the IT world, the smarter one looked.
But beyond the Lehman Brothers collapse, and with the advent of ChatGPT, I think that composition has changed considerably.
The information industry is no longer just about 'human brains', It has become a system that works in combination with AI. That's why I think. What will be really cool in the future? The really cool people in the future may be those who go back to primary and secondary industries.
To return to the rhythms of nature. To use the body to live. To live in harmony and not overthink.
That cannot be taken away no matter how smart AI gets, **human strength** that no amount of AI smartness can take away.
