They take a long time to get from Texas to Florida. It's just not possible on a barge with the existing system. So he says, what if we drive them? And they say, well, that doesn't really seem possible either. And he says, it's not impossible. It doesn't defy the laws of physics to drive a rocket ship from Texas to Florida.

So the response is from his team, yeah, it might not defy the laws of physics, but that would require finding an incredibly circuitous route that avoids underpasses the entire way from Texas to Florida. And we would need to bring like a support crew to move power lines. And we would need to drive all throughout the night for two weeks straight in order to make this possible. Okay.

That right there seems improbable. That's very complicated. There's a lot of stuff, but that is a solution to get them there in under three weeks. And that's exactly what they do. They have a truck drive in front of the rocket ship and they have a pole to raise power lines so that it can drive under power lines.

They have a truck drive in front of the rocket ship and they have a pole to raise power lines so that it can drive under power lines.

And they map out the world's most torturous driving route where they go through all these back roads in order to avoid underpasses. And they do it. They're able to drive it from Texas to Florida in under three weeks. All right, so that is part one, defining problems in a way that allows you to be high agency.

First, reframe every problem as, I don't know how to X. Then define the problem in excruciating detail. And then assume that anything that does not violate the laws of physics is in fact possible. That's how you want to frame a problem you have in your life in order to become more high agency, take more control. By doing those three things, framing the problem I think is half the battle.

Once you've framed it the right way, I think finding solutions, executing in some ways comes natural, although we'll talk about better ways to do that. Okay. So that does it for free listeners.

Hello, and welcome to How to Take Over the World. This is Ben Wilson. Happy Easter, everyone. I'm working on a brand new episode, and it's just about ready to go. And I was going to put it out today, but I felt a little weird releasing it on Easter, on a day when Christians all over the world are celebrating Jesus.

Hello, and welcome to How to Take Over the World. This is Ben Wilson. Happy Easter, everyone. I'm working on a brand new episode, and it's just about ready to go. And I was going to put it out today, but I felt a little weird releasing it on Easter, on a day when Christians all over the world are celebrating Jesus.

So instead, what I'm doing is I'm taking the premium version of the Jesus episode that I put out last year, and I'm releasing it to everyone, to free subscribers as well. Again, this is not just an episode for believers or for Christians, but hopefully has some special resonance for people who are thinking about him and about his resurrection today.

And so I hope, you know, that you all have a happy and great Easter and maybe this adds a little bit to it. And even if you're not a Christian or particularly religious, I think Easter is a great time to reflect on rebirth and renewal. It's spring, the sun is shining, life is returning. It's a good time to feel alive and consider how we can change and improve going forward.

So I'll be back with all new content next week, but until then, please enjoy this re-release about Jesus of Nazareth. But first, a word from our sponsor, Gains in Bulk. Creatine is the best and most tested supplement in the world. Countless studies have showed its positive effects on muscle growth, yes, but also recovery, endurance, and cognitive performance.
