Reflect

Unlike technical skills that can be automated or content that can be replicated, taste is uniquely human and develops through lived experience and thoughtful curation.

In the emerging economy, taste – the ability to recognize quality, meaning, and coherence that others miss

Meanwhile, those who develop distinct thought patterns and refined taste are building something more valuable... the ability to create worlds that others want to inhabit rather than just content others want to consume.

The easiest way to improve at this is just to try it! Whenever you’re debating what to do, explicitly ask yourself “what do I predict will happen if I choose option A?” and try to unroll the trajectory. Even if you think you’re already intuitively predicting the results of your choices, I’ve found it helps surprisingly much to be explicit

For this reason, the prompt I suggest here is: what does it seem like everyone else is mysteriously bad at? That’s probably a sign that you have good taste there.
