Look around you. Have you seen the skits people watch? Dumb stuff!
Jarvis and Peller make the exact kind of content Gen Z loves.
VDM can sway public discourse for an entire week.
These are not stupid people. They’re smart in a very specific way: they understand how the masses think, and they know how to command attention.
There was a BBN season where a housemate was evicted and people were tweeting, “Good riddance; she been dey do too much book book.”
And who did the masses want? Mercy Eke, because big bumbum, and hot romance.
That should tell you something.
Your problem is that you take the masses too seriously. At the biological level, we are higher animals driven by fear, lust, hunger, status, and other base desires.
We just cover it up with clothes and a little conditioning.
Animals is what we are.
That’s what you tap into.
That’s why forex is such a favorite of the masses: they see outliers flashing cars and money and they want it too; the same way an ape wants a banana another ape is holding.
It’s biology.
It’s how the world works.
To win, you have to think, talk, and behave like the masses. Don’t fight it.
Don’t mock people who follow Peller and Jarvis; that arrogance is how you miss the lesson. Be humble. Observe them.
That’s how you learn to leverage mass behavior and move up in this world.
The quicker you act on realizing you have to attack life, not let it happen to you, the quicker you enjoy this journey versus wasting it on stress, anxiety, and worry
my college professor once told us: "go have fun the entire day, but once you're back home, study for just 2 hours. you'll be in a completely different league"

Work hard. More than folks you know in your circle.
12 hours. 16 hours. After 10 PM. Doesn't matter.
Work hard. And you will outsmart the smartest folks you know.
The person you will become in five years depends on:
The books you read
The food you eat
The people you spend time with
The habits you adopt
The conversations you have
A man sat next to me at a roadside restaurant, staring at his phone, smiling nonstop.
Curious, I asked, “Good news?”
He said, “Yeah my daughter just sent me her first salary.”
I smiled and said, “That’s beautiful.”
He nodded, then went quiet for a moment before adding,
“She told me to buy something nice for myself but I think I’ll just save it. I still remember when I couldn’t even afford her school fees.”
A few minutes later, his food arrived.
Before touching it, he took a picture and sent it to her.
Then he whispered, almost to himself,
“At least now she knows I’m eating well.”
That’s when it hit me.

Lose, they call you lazy.
So stop performing for them.
Pick a noble path you can live with.
You won't win over all your critics! EVER!
Do you!
If you grew up in the trenches, you already know this:
The dumber the people around you are, the more aggression you must show to be respected.
The smarter the people around you are, the less aggression you must show to be respected.
This is an unwritten law of human hierarchy.
