One week it’s charts and pips. The next it’s dropshipping, betting, AI tools, content creation, digital coins or whatever TikTok says is the next escape route. Everyone is hustling, but very few people seem to be building deep mastery in anything.
Maybe that’s not even our fault. In an economy where jobs feel unstable, salaries lag behind inflation, and opportunities seem scarce, survival naturally becomes more urgent than long term craftsmanship. But what happens five or ten years from now when trends die, algorithms change, and AI automates basic digital work?
Will the people who quietly built real skills outperform everyone chasing quick money online? Or is adaptability itself becoming the most important skill in modern Kenya?
I genuinely wonder whether this generation is preparing for the future… or just reacting to pressure in real time.

If Artificial Intelligence eventually writes better novels, essays, scripts, poems, and even personal stories than humans, what exactly becomes valuable afterwards?
For centuries, creativity and self expression were seen as uniquely human traits; proof of intelligence, emotion, struggle, and imagination.
But if machines can replicate all of that instantly and at scale, does society begin valuing authenticity over quality?
Does human made art become a luxury? Or do we eventually stop caring whether something was created by a person at all, as long as it makes us feel something?
And if artificial intelligence can generate infinite content tailored perfectly to our tastes, will creativity become democratized… or meaningless?
