My Niche

Make yourself useful.
Make yourself scarce.

(Jack Butcher)

Fragments from imaginary dialogues

“What is your niche?

Express it as one skill, and three skills.”

“Expressed as one skill, my niche is Thinking/Awareness. I consider it life’s most important skill.”

“Why the pairing?”

“I’ve integrated them together into one concept (Concept-Stacking [<link; short read]). Another way of expressing it is Thinking/Non-Thinking.”

“Like Yin/Yang?”

“Precisely.

Expressed as three skills, my niche is:

Meta-Thinking – Deconstructing and creating meaning and mental tools of thought, optimally directing attention, QM (Questions and Mental Models), …

Creative Thinking – Creativity and Design

Meta-Learning – Optimal Learning”

“If we think of these skills as tools, what is their ultimate output?”

“Artful Living – Life and Experience Design

Over the coming years, I want to discover ways of making myself useful in all these areas.”
