Stop searching for beginner-friendly content, because for hard topics, it doesn’t exist.
Try to build a habit of reading, watching, and absorbing detailed information and complex concepts. This will not only help you avoid being spoon-fed but also strengthen your abstract thinking.
I believe abstract thinking will become extremely crucial in the coming decade, as the world shifts toward solving more complex and ambiguous problems that resist simplification and aren’t easily visualized.
We’re already seeing early signs of this drift with things like LLMs and Quantum Computing. Extrapolating from here, it’s going to be increasingly vital to think beyond the obvious.
Easy content gives quick dopamine hits—but it won’t expand your cognitive boundaries. The future will demand that we synthesize dense, disparate ideas without handholding. Learn to tolerate mental discomfort. That’s where growth lives.
Don’t underestimate your ability to understand hard things. Struggle isn’t failure, it’s the process. If you want to thrive in what’s coming, stop chasing shortcuts. Start seeking depth.
