(1) While most people fight to learn “in-demand” skills, smart people are learning rare skills instead by Michael Simmons (14 mins)
Successful innovators like Elon Musk, Ray Dalio, and Bill Gates prioritize rare and valuable skills over popular "in-demand" skills.
The "Outlier Algorithm" suggests that to stand out and make a significant impact, one should learn and invest in skills that are both valuable and not widely pursued.
By following this approach, individuals can differentiate themselves in their field, achieve greater success, and avoid the pitfalls of conforming to conventional wisdom.

(2) How developing mental immunity can protect us from bad ideas by Dr. Hannah Rose (6 mins)
Concept of Mental Immunity: Mental immunity, or cognitive immunology, enables the mind to detect and reject misinformation, much like the body's defense against pathogens.
Benefits: A strengthened mental immune system promotes informed decision-making, protects against false information, and enhances critical thinking.
Ways to Boost Mental Immunity: Enhance awareness of misinformation, foster evidence-based beliefs (meta-beliefs), and practice regular self-reflection on information sources.

[Read5for5 📚] Where Do Great Ideas Come From?
Great share! I really enjoyed the article on where great ideas come from. It's fascinating how environments that encourage failure and diverse perspectives can spark creativity and innovation. The concept of "intrinsic motivation" driving breakthroughs also rings true - when people are driven by intellectual challenges rather than extrinsic rewards, they seem to unleash their most creative thinking. This gives me some ideas on how to structure my own work to encourage more creativity. I'll definitely be trying out Glasp as well to highlight and organize inspiring content. Thanks for putting this together! Excited to learn more through the reading challenge.
