"As soon as my #consciousness is extinguished the whole world will vanish too and become void like a phantom, as a mere appurtenance of my consciousness, for possibly all this world and all these people are only me myself" - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Dream Of a Ridiculous Man
We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.
The Rich understand this while,
Middle class is still collecting tickets.
The Stadium Scam.
Imagine a cricket stadium with exactly 50,000 seats. The management issues 50,000 tickets.
One ticket = One seat. Guaranteed.
For decades, this system was honest.
The ticket was just a receipt.
The seat was the value.
You held the paper because you couldn't carry the chair home.
Then, the management noticed something interesting. People outside were trading tickets like currency. "I'll give you two tickets for your watch." "I'll give you five tickets for your bike."
They realized that people trusted the paper more than they checked the stadium.
So, the management got greedy.
They started printing extra tickets for seats that didn't exist.
They sold 100,000 tickets.
Then 500,000 tickets.
Then 1,000,000 tickets.
They became billionaires selling claims to a game that was already sold out.
Then, one day, it happened.
Foreign ticket holders rushed the gates. They wanted their seats.
The management didn't have them.
So they did something historic.
They locked the turnstiles.
They announced on the loudspeakers:
"We are no longer exchanging tickets for seats. The ticket is the value now."
This actually happened.
The Stadium is the Bank.
The Seat is Gold.
The Ticket is the US Dollar.
For years, $35 was a guaranteed receipt for 1 ounce of Gold.
The paper was just a claim check.
But the US government printed more Dollars than they had Gold.
When other countries (like France) got suspicious and asked for their Gold back?
President Nixon locked the turnstiles.
In 1971, he "closed the Gold window."
He told the world: The Dollar is no longer a claim on Gold. It is the money.
Today, there are trillions of "tickets" floating around. But the amount of Gold hasn't changed.
That is why the price of everything keeps going up. Itโs not that the seats are getting more expensive.
Itโs that your ticket is worth less.
You are saving in paper tickets.
While the rich are buying the stadium.
high IQ is a poverty trap. let me explain.
recently talked to a guy with 172 IQ. reads philosophy. understands complex systems better than most MBAs.
completely broke.
spends every day researching. perfecting ideas.
waiting for the "right moment" to execute.
scanning "best saas ideas" blogs.
been "building in stealth" for 3 years.
where it gets uncomfortable.
couple months ago i took one of his half-finished concepts he mentioned in passing.
packaged it with maximum conviction.
sold it as an info product to women wanting to build careers in real estate.
$12k/month in 90 days.
product was average.
idea wasn't revolutionary.
i moved fast and marketed ugly.
he's still perfecting version 1.0 while i'm cashing deposits from version 0.3 i built in a weekend.
the psychology is brutal:
intelligence creates options.
options create paralysis.
paralysis creates poverty.
smart people see 47 ways something could fail.
so they "research more." average people see one path forward and sprint.
a gorgeous idea in the hands of someone who overthinks becomes a mental prison.
a mid idea in the hands of someone who executes becomes a money printer.
ideas without execution are expensive hobbies for smart people scared to look stupid.
that's the trap. smart people protect their reputation for being smart.
shipping something imperfect threatens that identity.
so they delay forever.
operators ship garbage.
learn from the market.
iterate.
get paid while perfecting.
you need speed and conviction, not perfect.
confidence sells better than competence. always has.
my genius friend will stay broke theorizing about businesses he never starts.
operators with half his IQ are cashing out because they understood the assignment.
speed of execution is the entire game.

Screen addiction doesnโt hit you all at once.
It creeps in quietly, disguised as โjust one more scroll.โ
At first it feels harmless.
A quick check.
A small escape.
A tiny break from reality.
But slowly, the phone begins to pull you in.
Minutes turn into hours.
You look up and the day is gone.
You look around and the people you love feel a little farther away.
Your thoughts feel scattered.
You even start hating a family member who wants your time.
Your patience feels thinner.
Your sleep feels stolen.
The saddest part is how it replaces real life with a highlight reel you can never live up to.
You stop noticing sunsets.
You stop paying attention to conversations.
You stop hearing your own inner voice.
Screens give convenience, but they take something deeper.
They steal presence.
They steal silence.
They steal the small human moments that used to make life warm.
You deserve better than a life lived through pixels.
Put the phone down.
Look at someone you love.
Walk outside.
Let your mind breathe again.
Your real life has been waiting for you.
Sunlight in your eyes.
Protein on your plate.
Books in your hands.
KMs on your legs.
Stocks in portfolio.
Thatโs how new men rebuild themselves quietly.
We are all so fucking lucky.
We are the luckiest mfers in history.
You can fly anywhere on Earth in less than 24 hours.
Your great-grandfather died within 50 miles of his birthplace.
You can talk to anyone alive from your pocket, for free.
You can start a business from your toilet.
You can learn ANYTHING, instantly, for free.
Nearly everyone before you died young, never left their village, had three career options.
Theyโd sell their fucking souls for ONE DAY of your life.
Travel the world. Make friends. Build cool shit. Enjoy it. We won the lottery.
You can just do things.
So go do them.
Plan later what.
Fortune favors the fast.
India has two major problems:
- We have too many illegal foreigners from Bangladesh ruining our country
- We have a massive organ shortage which means that many Indians die when they could have been saved
I would request government to please work on a solution to both
The memory is a crucial aspect of the intellect and so training the mind requires exercise and training of the memory. Modern pedagogical philosophy looks down its nose at memorizing times tables or poetry but it produced a generation of idiots unable to access their god given intellects because, deprived of its memory, it had no raw material to work with, no reference for its metaphor, no truth for its calibration.
