Curation
Curation provides value even to the most mundane objects value by connecting them with a point of view, with a perspective or purpose that makes them stand out in the chaotic, unorganized tsunami of superficial published content.
By consistently delivering curated content, you position yourself as a go-to resource.
There will always be creators. But the ones who stand out in this era are also curators. People who filter their worldview so cleanly that you want to see through their eyes. People who make you feel sharper just by paying attention to what they pay attention to.

In the age of infinite information, the competitive advantage isn't knowledge—it's wisdom. Not those who know the most, but those who can discern what matters. Not processing power, but purpose. Those who can extract meaning, connect dots across domains, and make wise decisions despite uncertainty are more likely to thrive.

Disorganized information is just noise .
Organized info, contextualized for a specific audience / need is music .

It has a cool sound. (Brings non-obvious insights (new melodies).)
It’s infinite. (Helps me discover and appreciate more music and artists.)
