The "Useless" Skill Paradox

The most valuable skills might be those AI can’t copy because they seem “useless” today.

Take time to learn something with no clear payoff, it could become your advantage later.

What looks pointless now might matter tomorrow. Just like alchemy experiments led to chemistry.

The skills hardest to justify on a resume are often what separate human brilliance from machine efficiency.

Think complex systems thinking, strategic procrastination, narrative weaving or deep listening without an agenda.
