    Unpopular opinion: Too many people praise “learning.” MAKING things is a better use of time. Building an audience around your interests is THE cheat code. Write articles. Record videos. Publish podcasts. Plus, making things will make you learn faster anyways.

        Expressions ranked by value; "I enjoy learning" (meaningless, unless you're 5) "I read to learn" (low value) "I write to learn" (low-medium value) "I build to learn" (enormous) If you don't build, you'll never compare to someone who sits above the inflection point. pic.twitter.com/lqNaNkNs3X

        because so many people see learning as consumption of information where as real learning comes from production with limited information...where the gaps get filled as you go

        The imagined criticism of creating is difficult hump to overcome

        Totally agree with this. That’s why you have a huge advantage if you can manage to be immune (or at least robust) to embarrassment.

        The Internet is already saturated with company/personal brands that are niched. The future content creators will be mega-learners who push the boundaries of what’s possible... all the time. 🧠

        The secret is that you learn by making things. :)

        It’s not that unpopular, people dislike college and leave but love learning in their free time as both a hobby and career booster. Not sure how learning new things is a wasteful use of time? Some of us are not entrepreneurial or creative in these endeavors.
