I've gotten so much more value out of listening from old people than I have reading Twitter or whatever.
It might be because they're willing to tell you the truth.
Well, and it's also because once you get past a certain level, and that level honestly is pretty small, but like once you get past a certain level, the analogy that I heard recently was really good.
It was like, I'm the captain of a boat and I'm not trying to fix the engine, but steer the ship.
And so I don't necessarily need tactics right now.
I just need, tell me how to live a good life.
And a good life is a variety of things.
But I need to know about what the definition of a life worth living is, not how to make money or whatever.
I don't know, whatever the tactics are.
And so I've gotten so much more value.
So my friend Noah Kagan's got this channel on YouTube where he interviews 80-year-olds and mostly entrepreneurs.
I've gotten so much more value out of that.
You see this, if you can't interview them, you at least you can pick up like Felix Dennis's book where how many people are going to be honest about that is a crazy thing to admit to that.
I spent 10 million a year for 10 years, a hundred million dollars on prostitutes and coke.
Dude, when he died, he, uh, his prostitute girlfriend was living with him.
Again, like I'm sure I can't imagine the, the STDs this guy has or had and doing coke and drinking and nightclubs because they're like nightclubs.
I think I remember correctly.
Yeah, like in the 80s.
She's like, you don't want to do that.
Like, what are you doing?
