And there's a lot of benefits to that.
One is,
Every area of life worth pursuing has a strong and fun subculture.
So you get to experiment being in all these different subcultures.
There's like a comedy subculture, a writing subculture, a TV subculture, investing subculture.
you get to kind of communicate with different people across the spectrum of all of your interests.
And you get some status in those subcultures if you're in the top 1%.
So I think it is relatively easy, and this is what I wrote the book Skip the Line about, is that it's not like cheating, but there are learning techniques you can use to be in the top 1%.
Let's say you're interested in cooking.
To be in the top 1% of cooking, I mean a billion people around the world or more know how to cook.
To be in the top 1% means to be in the top 10 million of those.
That's very easy to do.
It's not trivial.
You have to work at it.
But if you just use these methods, you can do it.

And he describes like how the Beatles had their 10,000 hours and he describes various experiments.
