Seth started collecting “pictures of crowds stunned by a baseball bat heading their way”. The strange thing: it is possible to collect such pictures. He writes Getting used to infinity:
All of us grew up in a world of content scarcity, and now we live in a world of content infinity. [...] It means that finding a photo of what you’re looking for isn’t the hard part, it’s deciding what to look for in the first place.
The same could be said for just about anything. Music, Kitchen Appliances, or Software Development Tools. Deciding what to look for – or where to start – is the hard part. Call it the role of the curator. The ability to understand what you want before you know how to find it – is much more important in every field.
