Computation has made everyone able to connect with each other with practically no barriers. AI will make connection with machines and people seamless. These are super powers.
There is absolutely no reason to be miserable at your day job. You should be preparing for superpowers if not actively using them.
I recommend watching lectures/talks during work, skipping meetings and reading from thought leaders instead of working hard to reach deadlines. Everyone is connected which means you can read and watch what Ian Goodfellow has to say about unsupervised learning or see what the issues with the world computer are from Vitalik himself as easily as listening to your marketing department figure out how to grow 10% in the quarter.
