Ownership

We keep hearing that generalists are the future.

That knowing a little about many things is smarter. More flexible. More modern.

It sounds wise.

But markets don’t pay for awareness. They pay for outcomes.

For a long time, depth was enough. If you knew something deeply, you were trusted to decide.

That’s what made specialists valuable.

AI changes that.

Now knowledge is cheaper. Fluency is common. Options are everywhere.

What’s still rare is someone willing to decide. To commit. To live with the result.

Knowing a little about many things keeps your options open. Depth once closed them.

In an AI world, ownership does.
