It just became a question of, well, do you want it badly enough to work this hard?
Because much like getting lean, getting lean doesn't come easy to me.
And getting good at things doesn't come easily to me.
But I can throw an inhuman amount of energy.
So when you've got somebody that maybe learns twice as fast as I do, but they work a quarter of what I work, well, then I come out ahead.
So now when I meet somebody that's more intelligent than me, and they work harder than me, you get an Elon Musk, right?
It's like, I can't
I cannot work like he's already clocking.
You know, I'm sure his is 93 or more.
So that's out.
And then he is clearly in terms of I'll just define intelligence as the rate at which you process raw data.
He just thinks through problems faster than I do.
So that doesn't that no longer hurts my self-esteem, though, because I don't pride myself on being smart.
I pride myself on being a learner.
So it's like I'm completely content with being a fast pig.
It's extraordinary what you can do with your life if you're truly committed to being a fast pig.
But all of that to say that for me, it started with that.
The only belief that matters.
The US recently invaded Venezuela and arrested their sitting president in the dead of night.
If someone did that to us, I guarantee we would consider it an act of war.
