    What signs of investment-worthiness do you look for in people at age 25, 35, 45, 55 before investing time/energy/attention in them? (need not be younger than you)

        Mine: 25: Raw energy, quick study, aware of off-script world, art > craft sensibility 35: Groks off script, control over energy (is not all burst/spike/binge), has interesting opinions, has shit together 45: Not ground down, can still cut loose 55: At top of personal game

        For older folks, that they're not condescending. Like to be taught but also want a teacher that can figure out quickly what I do/don't know and not serve warmed over advice

        Solid question. I'm 20, talking about my peers (18-25), it's self-knowledge, self-awareness - obviously. So, whenever I come across a self-aware 20 year old, it's very easy to get along and bet on them.

        Agnostic to the demographic here, I think what transcends them all is a strong bias for action when no data exists to support nor if its their “job” to get something done. High indicator of success for me.

        Have never been able to look at interactions with people as investments. Also have never found a person not worthy of my attention.

        It's an interesting question. I think there is something to be learned from just about anybody, given some time with them. They might be worse than me at doing 100 different things, but there's usually at least 1 at which they are better, so if I'll see if I can find it.

        Making such decisions is unavoidable. There's no All-7.6-billion-people option. Choosing becomes a skill. I spend less time on, eg. those who develop "zombie armies", who aren't willing to get better at selecting or discarding "cheap tricks" in the Tempo sense, who are cruel.
