Because if I just have normal perceptions, I'm going to achieve normal results.

And I want to achieve super normal results.

I want to lead teams that create huge amount of alpha.

In order to do that, I've got to have people think differently.

I have to have people think out of the box, thinking in a different way than ordinary thinking.

So thought experiments for me help me do that.

So sometimes I think in terms of different perspectives on space, either very big, bigger than the universe, an infinite number of universes, a multiverse.

Sometimes I shrink my awareness down to tiny spaces, like I'm inside an atom.

Even on the quark level, there's elementary particles.

Sometimes I do that not just with space, I do it with time.

I go back in time, maybe decades and memories from my childhood or growing up, smells or sights or sensations or faces or places.

Sometimes I go back thousands of years or millions of years and I picture what would have been in the past.

I'm just giving you a few examples of different ways of thinking.

That's time, that's space.

I apply similar ways of thinking.

Looking at sensory activity, feelings, emotions, and some of the best emotions in life, like love, and figure out ways to amplify those emotions.

And I have a lot of fun with that.

16 is very early to start meditating.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, I saw a poster of.

I was at Northfield Mount Hermon School.
