#263 Colin Savage: The Frequent Flyer of Change Has Thoughts on AI—and Lifelong Learning — Part One

And the thing is novelty is great, but novelty wears off. You're there for a year and a half, and then you wake up one morning and it happens again. Oh, I'm bored. I've done this. I've learned these things that are really cool and interesting. And okay, let's go move here or let's go try this or let's do whatever.

The other thing that I might add is that change addict, like whenever you're with some kind of adversity, it takes as much, if not more focus to get through to the end. The lucky thing for me was, well, I've started this degree, I got to finish it. Or I started in this job, I got to be here at least this amount of time.

I've started learning this language, I've focused at least enough so I can do some kind of benchmark. And it's a lot harder when you have to do that, when it is just chasing novelty. So I think, yeah, like the change addict part, there's a lot of people that will do that. And actually, I'm a little bit different.

If you start something and it's not for you, you should really just chuck it in and go find the thing that you want. There's opportunity cost, as we all know, right? But if you don't wrap things up or if you don't complete them to a certain extent, later on, I don't really know how you could pull out the value. And as we get into other topics, but maybe you can apply it to more.

But if you haven't finished it, you're never going to get there. So the way that I came about the concept of change addict, and addict is the harsh word, but you really can be addicted to change and to novelty.

No, that's a great question, Vince. And I think at the beginning, I thought it would be in hindsight, which is lovely to have. But I think at the time it was, like I mentioned adversity, but, and I also mentioned boredom. For me, like when I didn't have responsibility, right? It's just me. I'm the one that's responsible for myself. I got to feed, clothe, house me.

There were many times where I was just like, you know what? I'm going to change it and quit my job. And I don't have anything else or I don't really have a plan to do anything else. And I'll just see what happens. And that's dangerous. Yeah.

Try different things, but you can try different things while you're doing something else that allows you to do that exploration. If you're just doing it because somebody has slighted you. When I was in Myanmar, I just woke up one day and said, I have $300. I'm going to live a very good life, but I'm never going to have anything. If I ever decided to leave here, so why don't I just go?

Maybe that's not going to be the way of the world in the future. But you only get, I would think, in your life, a bunch of major changes. So you really shouldn't
