    Are You Actually Behind, or Just Held to a Higher Standard?

    Sharing my writing process and reading my personal essay which you can read here: https://shaeomonijo.substack.com/p/are-you-actually-behind-or-just-held This is the major takeaway (whether you’re skimming or you’ve been reading all the way through): Sometimes, the project will take longer because your calling is bigger than just this one project. Your calling is bigger than the time you set in the beginning, before knowing what role this project is supposed to play in your future. In the realm of creative production, the project often sets the pace. This is what makes us distinct from machines. We can’t always produce passable polish on demand.

    Philosophers are more employable than CS majors right now.

    Philosophy majors now have lower unemployment than computer science majors. Why? Because AI labs need critical thinkers to build ethical frameworks and prevent catastrophic failures. In this episode I argue that humanities education is a necessity not a luxury and explore how to integrate it into trade schools, self-education, and the future of work.
