One skill I’ve been quietly learning to appreciate lately is observation.

Not just looking but seeing.

The ability to notice patterns between things that seem completely unrelated.

For example, you can study war, the movie industry, family systems, or education, and at first they feel like different worlds. Different rules. Different conversations.

But when you observe deeply, you start noticing something interesting.

The patterns are similar.

Power dynamics. Strategy. Loyalty. Leadership. Storytelling. Survival.

Different arenas… but the same underlying forces.

It begins to reveal something deeper about how the world works. Almost like there are invisible threads connecting everything together.

Some philosophies call this the law of oneness the idea that everything in existence is intertwined.

That’s why in most of our subjects in secondary school they always have interdisciplinary studies - where the subject in question branch out from different other subjects.

Charlie Munger refer to it as building a “latticework of mental models”

Understanding this makes you conscious that nothing you experience is wasted.

It all compounds.

It all connects.

And one day, the patterns start speaking to you (not for everyone though)

And that’s what makes it more interesting.

One of the biggest crises in this generation is not money.
It’s not opportunity.
It’s not even access.

It’s unhealthy self-esteem.

When a person does not know who they are, they are easily tossed around

by every trend,
every opinion,
every new “hot take,”
every wave of noise.

Whatever is loud becomes their direction.

In the ancient arenas whether in Roman Empire or other empires, the elites sat in a different section. They already knew how the game worked. Sometimes they even knew who would win.

The masses?
They were there for the spectacle.
For crumbs.
For distraction.

Today, the arena is digital.

Watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix and you’ll understand:
You are not just scrolling.
You are being studied.
You are being sold.

Every like.
Every outrage.
Every “cheap tweet.”

Your attention is currency.

And the top 1%?
They profit from your reaction.

So when you see the masses running toward something “popular,” pause.

Popularity is not proof of value.
Sometimes it’s proof of manipulation.

This is why I rather not talk about trends, because there’s a difference between what’s happening and what’s really going on

Not because I’m trying to be different “YES I’M DIFFERENT”
But because I understand something:

Whatever controls your attention controls you.

And if you don’t have a healthy self-esteem, you will outsource your identity to the crowd.

You’ll say things like,
“Whatever I post does not define me.”

But that’s not true.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

You are what you repeatedly express.
You are what you consistently engage.

There are things you shouldn’t like.
There are things you shouldn’t comment on.
There are conversations your mind should be too expensive to enter.

I once heard Anthony Joshua say:

“Don’t get caught up in the mix-up.”

Because once you are in the mix-up,
you become noise.

And noise is cheap.

Healthy self-esteem begins in the mind.
It shows in restraint.
It shows in what you ignore.
It shows in how seasoned your words are.

In the Book of Proverbs it says that even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise.

There is power in silence.
There is power in filtering yourself.
There is power in not reacting.

When people get dragged for careless posts, I sometimes think:

“Thank you for revealing yourself.”

Because now we know who to ignore.

Take yourself seriously.

The Taste Economy

We are in 2026.

The world is moving fast.
Too fast enough that a lot of people don’t really understand what’s happening

Now
AI can code.
AI can design.
AI can animate.
AI can compose music.
AI can write.

There is vibe coding.
There is AI-generated film.
There is AI music production.
There is automation sitting inside almost every skill.

I’ve been thinking about a crazy idea recently and it’s the idea that “We” as a group of individual determine what history, art, music, design will look like in the future.

And this is thought brings us into “The Taste Economy” - It’s not an original idea of mine though

But here is a different way to look into it to shape your mind, creativity, perspective - YOUR WORLD

Skills are linear.
But taste is not.

Everybody can prompt.
Not everybody can judge.

Everybody can produce output.
Not everybody knows what good looks like.

And that is where the leverage is.

Taste Makes You Dangerous in Today’s Economy

Let’s take coding.

The best “vibe coders” are not random beginners.
They are people who understand structure.
They understand logic.
They understand how systems talk to each other.

And because they understand the fundamentals,
they can direct the machine properly.

Someone who understands nothing about code will always produce average results even with powerful tools.

Acceleration does not replace understanding.
It amplifies it.

Taste Comes From Experience

Taste is trained perception.

It comes from:
• Hands-on repetition
• Studying excellent work
• Observing patterns
• Breaking things and rebuilding them
• Living deeply, not just consuming quickly

Taste is built when you:
• Read books in and outside your field
• Study history and mythology
• Play
• Exercise
• Learn languages
• Explore cultures
• Notice design in everyday life

None of it feels directly productive.

But all of it compounds.

What You Think Is Random Is Not Random

Because creativity is cross-pollination.

The references I make.
The historical analogies.
The layered thinking.

They don’t come from one discipline.

They come from accumulated taste.

From exposure.
From curiosity.
From impulse.

And here’s the key:

When you build with consciousness
when you know that your play will convert into work
nothing is wasted.

PS: I recently found out that painting was Leonardo da Vinci side gig (just a hobby). Historians will say “relatively small part of his life”

You gerrit🤔

Back to my train of thought

All inputs compound.

If you have shallow taste, you will automate mediocrity at scale.

If you have refined taste, you will produce excellence at speed.

Build Taste Relentlessly

A mentor once told me:

“Make sure you build taste in this economy.”

That advice is more valuable in 2026 than ever before.

Study excellent work.
Break down why it works.
Observe patterns across industries.
Train your eye.
Train your ear.
Train your judgment.

Do not rely only on acceleration tools.

Because in a world where everyone can generate

The rare person will be the one who understand different

And that selection is power.
