Flos Selected Books - "2030 Job Map"

In order to facilitate the understanding of the background of the two authors who are not familiar with them, I will introduce them first.

Yoichi Ochiai is a genius in his 30s, a cross-disciplinary researcher with multiple identities. He is involved in art, digital manufacturing, multimedia, etc., and has related companies in these fields. There is also a research laboratory called digital nature, which studies the relationship between machines and people, as well as machines and nature.

Horie Takafumi is a genius in his 40s who has run a company called livedoor. After the livedoor incident of the fraudulent account incident, he switched to rocket research and selling wagyu beef. He also has various sources of income such as his own books and e-newsletters, and also runs his own salon.

"2030 Job Map" is a book compiled from their conversations about the workplace and society in 2030. Because it is a dialogue recording, the rhythm is relatively relaxed, and the two gentlemen's views can inspire more ideas when they are read interactively.

AI replaces us or assists us

In the future, there is an entire list of jobs that will be replaced or changed by AI, but there is enormous scope for development of many individual jobs and business models. Because AI does not have its own "view of life" and "world view" at present, it is the future road that can show personal style. Choice stores and specialty coffee shops are springing up as a good example.

It just means that human beings can be freed from the work they have to do and get more free time. Not only that, because the cost of living is dropping rapidly, you won't have to force yourself into any job just to make money. ——《2030 Work Map》

Create personal characteristics and win with unique value

When jobs will have the opportunity to be replaced, instead of lamenting the loss of competitiveness, we should think about what we can create when AI can handle regular jobs for us. Just immerse yourself in doing what you love, play it to the extreme and turn it into your job, and by multiplying your hobbies, you will become the "one in a million" top talent. Create value that only you can create.

At the same time, the labor force is declining due to an aging population. We should make better use of AI as our workforce and let them handle the boring parts. Leave the more tedious top management jobs to such talented human elites, and other human beings can work and define themselves to their liking.

Of course there are people who like to represent themselves as a company, and I've worked in a position that I'm proud of. But I have also encountered work that is not suitable to represent me. At this time, what value can I use to represent myself? What I want to do for the society is the focus of the question.

In other words, the human function here is to be able to work hard with motivation. How to change human society and what to achieve, such motives often accompany human beings. If the means to achieve the goal is to use computer computing, at least not to be led by technology, just use technology and the ecology of human society as resources. ——《2030 Work Map》

Moreover, we must have substantial services or goods in order to release value. As long as you have a passionate plan, through a clear pitch and your personal credit value, you can create value and income. Add enough differentiation to ensure that the niche creates a blue ocean.

The rings you hold are "exchangeable", and your creations are "exchangeable"; even the invisible "things you can do = skills" can become exchangeable values. Do what you love to do, and maximize what you can, and turn yourself into a "value can" full of value capital. ——《2030 Work Map》

"Interesting can be a meal"

You may be wondering why you need to create value for others while still being free to do what you like. Because only the value of life can be differentiated and continuously created in both work and work. Only those who embody "Work "as" Life can survive in the future era. If you do nasty things in order to create value, but also integrate it into your life, it must be very painful.

Think about how many people are now living like cogs, doing things that have no real value to them. This is why the previous "XXX who was delayed by (main job)" kind of stalks will appear. Just imagine what that person would be doing now if he was not affected by the "main job" of the 9-to-5 job? What about yourself?

We have created incomplete value in our regular jobs, and the enthusiasm that has been delayed and suppressed will have psychological effects on you. If he suffers, he should jump out of the name of "serious duty" and muster up the courage to do what he should do.

I assimilate "play", "work" and "study" and live a trinity life. Doing "play", "work" and "study" together means not to distinguish between the three. All the actions I have done in my life can be interpreted as play, as work, and even more as learning. ——《2030 Work Map》

So how do I tell my family

However, words such as "interested in food", "freelancer", etc. should be close to taboo among traditional parents. If you want to say "no work", "play as work", etc., you probably really don't want to live. But for the sake of your own future, it is also a plan to spend a little bit of explaining. There are also people who talk about "having a family" and "being forced by the needs of life", but it is clear that they can earn more by using their own value. Time to think about it.

Tell them that in the age of the Internet, my market is 7 billion people who are interested in my value. I just have something that others can't, and wouldn't it be better to burn my passion to make money to make everyone happy?

For me, being able to live the Trinity is my life goal. I'd love to be able to work for what's inside of me, but of course I'm still working. On the one hand, it is because I still have a certain enthusiasm for work, and on the other hand, I want to accumulate my own capital and social knowledge. Finally, I will stop writing here with a paragraph of quotations.

Turning motivation into value, the most important thing is "language ability", "logical power", "physical thinking", "targeting seven billion people in the world", "economic sense", "the world is running by human beings". Consciousness", and "Speciality". The so-called specialization, no matter how small it does not matter. "What only you can do" will be the most powerful reason you are needed by others. From now on, call out your "personal" value. ——《2030 Work Map》

Takeaways:

1. In the future coexisting with AI, what we should consider is how to outsource standard work to AI. Humans should think about innovation and personal value.

2. Let the elites who like 9-to-5 do what they need. Others should try their best to "treat their interests as jobs" to bring unique value to the society.

3. Live a life of "play", "work" and "study", and work hard for passion.

4. In an age of aging population and declining labor force, it is more urgent to think about how to use AI to replace the reduced labor force than to think about how to replace it yourself

5. In the Internet generation, our market is 7 billion people. As long as there is an exchangeable output of value there will always be people in need. Even the little things have value.
