Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.
Much of the gender war dynamic you see people adopt today is driving by algorithms.
If you're not redpill, or feminazi, or if you don't insult someone with simp or pick me, that is if you're perfectly normal and well adjusted, you are invisible online.
And what people constantly seee is what they become.
Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.
During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.
I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.
A New Nigeria is POssible. - PO
The reason elite chess players have lower IQs is the same reason "successful founders dropped out" is bad advice.
Once you select for the top of any field, the traits required to get there become negatively correlated. Elite chess players need both IQ and chess-specific skill. Within them, the lower-IQ players must have higher pure chess skill to compensate, or they wouldn't be elite. The correlation is mechanical. It comes from how you drew the sample.
Apply this to founder advice. Among the general population, education and outcomes correlate positively. Among elite founders, dropouts had to compensate with something else: world-class technical skill, family capital, or an exceptional network. The "missing" trait in dropout-founders forced the other traits higher. Copying the dropout move without the compensating trait does nothing.
Every refrain from a top performer follows this pattern:
"I never networked, I just built great products." Within elite founders, the ones who skipped networking had exceptional products. The constraint selected for them.
"I sleep 4 hours a night." Within elite executives, sleep trades against output. In the general population, less sleep correlates with worse cognitive performance. You're hearing the substitution pattern of survivors.
"I don't read books." A top 0.01% operator who doesn't read requires compensation somewhere: raw memory, decades of operating reps, or a network that fed them what books would have.
The chart is the cleanest version of this you'll ever see. Black dots are the full population, strong positive correlation between early and adult performance. Red dots are the elite subset. Slope near zero.
Every advice book lives in the red dots. Every "what makes top performers different" study lives in the red dots. Every Forbes profile lives in the red dots. You're learning the substitution patterns of people who already won. Their path is in the red dots. Yours lives in the black.
When someone elite tells you what made them successful, the real question is what they had to be elite at to have the option of skipping the conventional path.
"I regretted voting Obi in 2023"
I don't know why you're regretting a decision that hasn't had any effect whatsoever in your life for the last 3 years.
Went to register a SIM today, and what happened honestly got me thinking.
After the first process, he captured my face, and I assumed everything was done. Next thing, he said the registration didn’t go through because the network was bad. Since I wasn’t paying too much attention at first, we started the process all over again.
This time, I noticed he picked up another SIM entirely, not the one we had registered earlier.
That was when it hit me… he had registered two different SIMs.
This is exactly how people get implicated in things they know nothing about.
I made sure I collected both SIMs, even though he kept denying it. I’m very sure of what I saw.
In the next 24 hours, I’ll find out if both were activated.
Please, whenever you’re registering a SIM, pay close attention. Don’t assume anything. Watch every step.
1. When parents warn their kids to be security conscious and mindful of strangers, it's not on the presumption that all strangers are evil. Rather, it's knowing that human beings everywhere have the capacity for immense good and proportionate evil. Hence, why it's necessary to be discerning.
2. As I've said countless times: by design, the weak will always be at the mercy of the strong. It's a biologically correct fact that men are generally stronger than women and children. This is how the world became patriarchal in the first place. Most times, if a man walks into a room, in the absence of weapons, the only person that would be stronger than him in that room is another man.
3. The implication of the foregoing is that if great evil is to be done, in form of physical violence and aggression, on a general scale, it'll involve men. And if done to men by women or children, it'll be considered a thing of shame to generally talk about.
4. It's important to point out that: statistics actually show that about 1 to 5 percent of the general population in a lot of places are responsible for most violent crimes. With over 90 percent of that being men.
5. This means that the majority of men will not commit these offences. And when these offences are committed or the threats exist, it's still men that can and will stop it. Hence, we must reject the narrative that all men are guilty until proven otherwise. We must insist on having those who commit a criminal offence carry the shame and punishment. In fact, we must do this to ensure our little boys don't grow up in a world where the running narrative is that it's normal to be horrible and you're probably missing out if you're a decent man.
