Knowledge went from a necessity to a superpower real quick. 🦸🏻

There was a time when we were expected to read, understand, learn. Now? We barely recognize things, maybe just enough to nod along. And that’s it.

This summer especially, everyone’s talking about internships, placements, careers. We’ve all got tabs open: ‘How to crack interviews,’ ‘What is OOPs’ and ‘Top 5 skills every company looks for.’

And I’m sitting there staring blankly at the screen 💻, thinking — do any of us actually know what the heck is going on?

We’ve got access to everything. Video lectures, crash courses, cheat sheets. They’re not even a Google away now. AI just hands it to you like, “Here, I got you.”

And that shift — that change in our intent — is what gets to me. We’re still curious, sure. Curiosity’s human. But we’re rushed; rushed through learning, through living.

The itch to learn is still there.
But the thirst? It’s gone.

Maybe knowledge was always a superpower. We just stopped looking for it the moment it all got too easy. And that has only made things more difficult.
