i do like this passage, and here are some thoughts:
1. critical thinking is essential in the era of agents. i still remember that many years ago when i studied the lesson of critical thinking, i learned that keeping debating with yourself by listing out reasons can really deepen your thinking. today, critical thinking becomes humans debating with agents, so that they can think more deeply together and analyze problems in a more comprehensive way.
2. designing a healthy and well-structured organization and system is essential for creation and building. with systematic support and efficient tooling, humans can work exponentially more effectively together with agents. that gives people more time to take care of their physical and mental health, while also exploring new opportunities.
3. new era often favors newbies, because they have less past experience and therefore less fear of current difficulties. what oldbies should really think about is which parts of their experience are actually worth leveraging. from my perspective, we should think more carefully about which experiences are truly aligned with first principles.
but anyway, ai first is super, super exciting!
