What's really happening to the value of knowledge in an AI era? The common story is that learning more and earning more credentials keeps you ahead, but the reality is more complicated when a language model can fake a perfect resume in seconds.

How Monster.com's bankruptcy signals that traditional job application signals no longer prove real competence
What the five human moats look like: taste, extreme agency, learning velocity, long intent horizons, and interruptibility
