Obviously, the world is insanely complex, and there are many counter-intuitive ways to influence systems. The famous “Tank Man” from Tiananmen Square was arguably more influential in shaping Chinese history than most high-level CCP politicians of that time could have dreamed of, even though he was totally anonymous and likely „just“ a regular working-class man.

Since you’re specifically referring to jobs, the answer would probably be leaders in socially relevant fields like economics, law, education, science, or the media, to name a few.

Given the postmodern capitalist hellhole we live in, where every “real” value can be liquidated by money - or, to speak with Baudrillard, where everything is mere appearance, and the image becomes the almighty tyrant over the real,

Quote

“The terror of the image is precisely this: it is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting the signs of the real for the real.” - Jean Baudrillard

the general wisdom that the closer you are to money, the more of it you can accumulate - with money being virtually synonymous with power - likely holds true. And something like a senior partner in private equity is probably the ultimate master of this "Flatland."

Sam Altman’s statement that “compute is the currency of the future” seems relevant and sensible in this context as well. Just look at him or people like Zuck; they are probably some of the most powerful individuals in the world.

“Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return!” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Data analytics / pattern analysis + machine learning of custom designed heuristic models. At some point, these will be combined to predict the future with a high degree of accuracy. 

What’s more powerful than a prediction machine?

You create your own power and money sources. 

In almost any jobs, you have to be aware of what positions you are in and work yourself up the hierarchy.

Of course, some jobs come with stress so you have to decide whether you want it or you would rather stay quiet and earn a normal income.

Hold a concert.

Just imagine if everyone pays $200 and you have 500 people in the audience. That's $100k! Thank me for the tip!

How about a tip to add on to this?

@quantumspiral I see you changed your profile picture from the chudjak to the Noft F.C meme. :ph34r:


أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن ليو رسول الله

Translation: I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and Leo [Gura] is the messenger of Allah.
