IMO, we're trying to fill the gaping chasm where master apprenticeship used to be with a bunch of productivity hacks duct-taped together, largely gathered from writers and guru types who have the audacity to think they can reverse-engineer what they can't do themselves

Speculation: the rare individual — usually someone polite society would consider creepy/obsessive/maladjusted were they not so damn successful — accomplishes what you can't bc they somehow survived to adulthood with the "I actually care" portion of the psyche miraculously intact

Can you clarify/expand this one a bit? Do most people lose the “I actually care” portion? Or do only most rare individuals lose it? And what are this portion’s characteristics?

My guess: people both have it to start with & manage to maintain it to wildly varying degrees. Outliers' behavior is much more often goal-oriented & sensitive to feedback, meaning they ultimately spend very little time doing things that look productive but don't yield results

Thank you for clarifying. I think you are saying something very interesting. But I still don’t fully understand it. Like - wouldn’t feedback sensitivity encourage fake productivity signalling (i.e. to get the positive feedback, and to hell with the results)?

I'm using "feedback" here to mean results, interpreted very broadly —you do a thing, and the totality of your environment responds in a way that you can interpret as having pushed you closer to or further from your goal
