Tyler
Cowen on preparing
for the future:
"I think the future belongs to
people who are what I call meta-rational. That is, people who realize their own
limitations. So not all the skills that you think are so valuable actually will
matter in the future. Don’t just feel good about yourself, but think
critically, what am I actually good at that will complement emerging sectors
and emerging technologies. The world of the future, even the present will be a
world of algorithms. ... People who think they can beat the algorithms will
make a lot more mistakes. ... So know when you should defer. It’s easier than
ever before to get advice from other people, including on podcasts, right? Or,
you know, go to Yelp. When can you trust the advice of others? Having good
judgment there is becoming more important than just being the smartest person
or having the highest IQ."
