The Decisive Difference Between People Who Live By Their Passions and Those Who Don't—The Only Thing That Won't Become a Commodity in the AI Era

"Only a select few talented people can make a living doing what they love"—are you holding onto that belief? It's true that the optimistic notion that "you'll naturally earn money if you do what you love" is dangerous.

But it's also a fact that with the widespread adoption of AI, people who have "taken their passions to the extreme" are actually becoming more prominent and stronger. Why is that? Let's unravel the structure and methods of "living by what you love."

In an era where AI is leveling the playing field, "liking" something is something that can't be averaged out.

Knowledge and skills are becoming commoditized.

The emergence of AI has made accumulating knowledge alone insufficient for differentiation. Specific job skills also become obsolete within a few years.

The competition of "what can be done" is no longer a battlefield where humans can win, as AI can provide answers the fastest and cheapest.

However, there are things AI cannot do. "I want to explore more because I truly love it. That's why I refuse to fit into ordinary boxes." — AI can't possess this kind of impulse.

The thought patterns of people who have mastered their passions give rise to questions and solutions that those with only ordinary information cannot reach. And the quality of those questions and solutions will be the greatest differentiator in the AI era.

Those who can't remove their "limiter" can't reach the extreme of their passions.

An innate, instinctive inhibitory mechanism in humans

Humans have a limiter. If muscles continue to exert maximum output, they will tear. So the brain limits that output. The same thing is happening with our thoughts.

Social pressure like "this is how it's normally done" or "everyone else is doing it this way" acts as a limiter on individual thought.

If you don't break this limiter, you can't step into abnormality. "Limiters and Control Rods" deals with the structures for dismantling this runaway prevention device and stepping into abnormality.

Ultimately, the way to live doing what you love is to be in a state where you can treat the feeling of "delving into something a little strange" as a driving force, not a fear.

"Cross-border Emergence Theory" - Expanding the Scope of Thought Material Beyond the Real Dimension

New things can only be born from combinations of dissimilar materials.

If someone with only ordinary, commonplace information thinks, only ordinary things will be born. "Trans-boundary Emergence Theory" asks, "How do we cross boundaries to expand the scope of material for thought?"

Emergence will not happen if you remain confined only to your areas of interest.

In this Theta Corridor III, we will explore methods for accessing a range of thought materials that transcend normal perception, using the concept of "imaginary dimensions."

When the pursuit of passion intersects with a deep understanding of the world's structure, unexpected emergent phenomena arise, predating the AI era.

What awaits at the end of mastering your passion?

Will you choose an "interesting future" where you can't see 10 years ahead, or a future that's an extension of the present?

It's impossible for anyone to predict what a person who has grown with compound interest will be like in 10 years. However, on the other hand, it's easy to imagine what a person who has remained within ordinary confines will be like in 10 years, as an extension of today.

Which future will you choose? It is the choice to dismantle your limits and pursue what you love.

If "liking" alone isn't commoditized in the AI era, then mastering what you love becomes the ultimate strategy. All that's needed to live doing what you love is the "courage to deviate from the norm."
