Preparing for the Next Decade - What are your essentials?

[JuanMena]

Was just remembering a chat I had with @FAST6191 (before he died of a terrible wound after he took an arrow to the knee) about me having "outdated" knowledge, think of it as us old folks knowing how to use a VHS, or a Tape Player (remember spending time next to the radio to record your mix-tapes?) and while I was worried about me currently owning outdated knowledge, FAST6191 said something along the lines of: "Or you could see it as having knowledge current people don't have"... and that changed my perception instantly.

With this in mind, I'm talking to ChatGPT about what kind of knowledge could come handy for the future. The AI bot keeps repeating that knowing how to do stuff off-line could be life saving for the next decade.
Also mentioned being aware of filtering information because it'll be a problem in the future, alongside knowing how to fix hardware and software.
Then went of rails by saying to "remember to remain human xoxo".

I'm pretty confident I check almost all checkboxes, except knowing how to fix software from a programmer standpoint, or, for lack of better terms, fix software code/programming.


From my perspective, in the future almost everything is either gonna be automated + online (software, resources, tools) or be in charge of AI + online. So in a sense, my guts are telling me to drift all my efforts towards learning AI, maybe cyber security bullshit and whatnot.
Just like I was worried couple decades ago to become a programmer because that seemed like the future, but turns out it's not, so I might be wrong.

In your opinion, what kind of information do you currently own that it's considered outdated nowadays?
What kind of knowledge are you currently trying to acquire?
Are you worried about "your skills survival" for the upcoming future?
What are your thoughts?

Edit: It would be wise to start your own off-line archives of resources

I feel like being informed on how to preserve some semblance of privacy in a world where people increasingly care less about it and even go so far as to disparage people who like their privacy ["wHaT aRe YoU tRyInG tO hIdE?!?!?!?"] will be important.

As for my guts, they're telling me to buy up physical media like there's no tomorrow.

....

The more I think about it, the less it interests me...

So much has already been "forgotten" that it makes no sense to me to create, for example, an offline archive, since the "dumbed-down" generations of today and those to come won't know what to do with it anyway, except how to destroy and annihilate even faster and how to treat people even more cruelly...

So... let's keep waiting for the comet...

Would be good to reconsider most of your medical knowledge and try to keep yourself up to date.

Even professionals have a hard time updating themselves into current discoveries

This is even more true about things related to mental wellness and emotional intelligence. I would say going to the therapy and learning methods to deal with some of the issues in your own mind can take you long ways.

Precisely. Where's your Shittify offline like my MP3 library? Else. as always, having the ability to learn old skills by intuition never hurts, so lots of h/w utmost basics and such.

Hell, how to cut your own key to a car most local "locksmiths" are refusing to touch.
