I think if you learn to think for yourself, you think logically.

If you read, kids today, if they put down that phone and just read, that is a superpower.

They will get out there and crush.

Read, work out, do some MMA, BJJ stuff, do a little boxing.

But read, you are going to just leave everyone else in the dust when it comes to whatever you want to do next in life, out of high school, out of college, whatever it is.

If you have that foundation, then you're going to be a more empathetic, compassionate person.

But you're going to have this knowledge base that other people are relying on, chat GPT, whatever it is, their phone, whatever, to do that thinking for them.

Yes, it is absolutely brutal.

It's kind of nuts.

Like I said about the time to enter publishing online.

I think a great time is the 90s for that because you had, let's see, Michael Crichton and then you had John Grisham.

Like every other year there was some Michael Crichton movie and then a John Grisham movie.

And they had the best directors, actors of the day, producers of the day.

And then people bought books they were still reading back then because there wasn't yet the Internet.

There wasn't yet all these other things that distract you.

So those guys got to crush.

I think that was maybe the golden age of being an author and adapting your stuff to film or television, mostly film back then.

But those guys got to crush.

And today, not as much.

But it's fun, though.
