""If, as young people, you lean into your curiosity, in your critical thinking and in your creativity, you will win." Part of this recipe includes ditching social media algorithms and seeking out new sources of information, he says-which should include a focus on questioning history and philosophy."
""Always ask why, and then go one level below double click, triple click, to the sources. Why? Why? Why? Why? If you do that, you're going to develop a mind that's going to be able to beat anybody else and be more valuable in the workplace," he said. "Learn to question others, and learn to question yourself, to be introspective, to think for yourself and say, 'What did I do wrong today? How can I get stronger?'""
Gen Z who lean heavily on social media and AI risk losing critical thinking, creativity, and other skills needed for workplace success. Critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, and introspection remain in high demand and give humans an edge over AI. Reading classical philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle trains questioning and deeper analysis. Ditching algorithm-driven feeds and seeking primary sources encourages repeatedly asking why and digging below surface answers. Daily self-questioning about mistakes builds strength. Learning AI tools is useful, but should complement—not replace—development of independent thinking and creativity.
