The post is joking, but its actually good advice to not do things if you don't "feel" enough for them. There is an epidemic of middle class neurotic fear of "missing out". E.g. the author has a very varied bio, but i've never heard of him, probably because he does none of those things excellently.

Agreed, a typical Jack of all, master of none. The main problem has been sticking with one thing or one career for long. I tend to get extremely distracted by newer ideas and projects even before completing the one at hand.

In a world of 7 billion people you've heard of everyone worth knowing about?

yes.
And what if you can't imagine doing one thing for longer than say a couple of years? What if you could never get "feels" for that?
