That's a really overlooked point, and perhaps the most contrarian nugget of wisdom in this damn good piece of advice. Point is, whatever successful thing you do, it'll always end up gaining you a certain degree of prestige (which is ultimately a form of bullshit, but that's another topic).
- prmph 8y agoThe converse also seems to be true: Some currently seemingly prestigious things are long past their relevance, society at large has just not caught on yet; it is good to recognize these and to avoid building your future on them.
