@cameron and I will break down Adam Mastroianni’s essay Face it: you’re a crazy person, which argues that every career makes sense only for the tiny fraction of people who are the right kind of weird. We will walk through his “Coffee-Beans Procedure” for reality-testing ambitions and ask: Which kinds of madness do you actually enjoy?

Ok...pre-reading the article that you guys will be talking about. This part really struck me. "when people match their crazy to the right outlet, they become terrifyingly powerful" That is very much what I want for my children. My son (15) is going off to college early (he was accepted into a program). I describe him as brilliant, but rudderless. I find it difficult to provide good advice, because I’m 50 and still struggling to find my own place in the world. 😆 If I’m honest, I’ve never done the “unpacking” that the article described until the past couple years. I found a job that paid well and just stuck there. In truth, I find most of it tedious (expect when I’m able to apply it to my own interests). I think colleges will be going through a radical shift. They can’t continue just teaching the same things and churning out pieces of paper and expect that to have value. What I REALLY want for my son is the space to explore his interests, find out what he is talented in, and make a career out of that intersection by learning keeping and developing the sort of “specific knowledge” that Naval talks about. How the hell to match our crazy with the right outlet is DIFFICULT.
