Yeah - maybe I'll eventually do that if I can afford to fund 2 accounts. But to do either well - an 'identity' of your own or an identity as a curator - you're right - 2 accounts is pretty much a necessity.
Shhh...don't ruin the mystique of smart stuff by telling me it can be BSed :-P Thing is, in order to even know that it's possible, you need the kind of mind that understands it first!
I'm not totally ignorant in 'smart stuff'- took (and dropped out of ) a programming course, right after I got my useless BA in Liberal BS - because I wanted to find a career that would pay the bills - and while it was over my head or just not my thing - it was totally worth it. While I couldn't write a line of code (unless html counts haha), I gained a basic but broad conceptual understanding that allows me to at least sort of communicate with programmers and designers, which helps immensely with my freelance work and side gigs.
I now know when I'm getting fleeced on a website project (ie programmer charges an hourly rate for an automated task, but he isn't upfront about it - and acts like he will be working X amount of hours) - or on the flip side - I can communicate expectations without driving the coder/designer/engineer totally insane with vague ideas, as well as appreciate when he/she goes above and beyond to meet a client's expectations. And of course, pay appropriately and not give insulting offers for projects (ie - hey can you create a customized bug-free Airbnb clone for $300? Oh, and I need it by the end of the week)
Those rare people who have both the forward facing extrovert 'idea' qualities - with an engineering mind - (The Elon Musks of the world) - really have it made.
I guess though engineers tend to make more money in terms of salary - they usually have to work to execute another person's idea, and most of their creations end up being owned by the person hiring them or some corporation. But then again, it's really engineers (and science/math/medicine people) who make the humanity changing developments possible.
You can't deny it though - I bet you feel smart knowing stuff most of the population doesn't ;-) Maybe it's tough being a geek in elementary school, maybe even high school - but once you're in the real world - 'you people' are the envy of most of us !
