Trends are fleeting.
To find something more durable, it helps to go back to basics.
Essentially, we have two jobs:
1. Make valuable stuff
2. Communicate this value
In high-certainty domains, this means reasoning from the first principles of technical fields and human nature.
But sometimes, this isn't possible.
Some things are too expensive to compute from principles, and some things lie outside our existing frameworks entirely.
In these unpredictable domains, the decisive skill is the ability to coexist with uncertainty (and hence to operate on the frontiers of culture and knowledge).
Thankfully, all these fundamentals are learned the same way.
