Great collection of ideas in this piece. I realised there's a decent overlap between what you and I read. Thanks for curating!
On the professional and amateur difference, I was having this conversation on two ways of achieving expertise. One is knowing the end goal and working intentionally and the other is not knowing the end but following your curiosity. My hunch is that the creator economy is being kind to hobbyists and allowing them the space to discover where they want to go--something we didn't always have.
Thanks Rout. I agree on the overlap part. I had a similar realization on the last post. But the way you're able to put the ref together to stitch an essay is remarkable. I wish to get there someday.
Goals - well they can define the endpoint. But the means to that end can still be varied, isn't it? I guess the professional and amateur classification is more concerning with the means. Yes, the creator economy has shown that the goals for amateurs can be ambitious as well.
