"You have to figure out what your own aptitudes are. If you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t , you are going to lose. [...]
You have to figure out where
you have got an edge."

@ZubyMusic Most people are unable to change their minds, even when confronted with a lot of evidence,
Changing would feel Inconsistent.

The human mind works a lot like the human egg.
When one sperm gets into a human egg, there’s an automatic shut-off device that bars any other sperm from getting in.
The human mind tends toward the same sort of result.
- It does not matter who you are.
- It does not matter how talented you are.
- I don't care if you have a better education or more possibilities than me.
You can't outwork me. Ever.
The use of vivid images as memory boosters is what enabled the great orators of classical Greece and Rome to give long, organized speeches without using notes.
Remember:
An idea or a fact is not worth more because it is easily available to you.
You can use the strength of extra-vivid images in influencing the mind:
1) In persuading someone else to reach a correct conclusion;
2) As a device for improving one’s own memory by attaching vivid images to items one doesn’t want to forget.
You can apply leverage by coding or by writing.
With code, the multiplier may be bigger.
But it fades faster.
With words, the multiplier may be smaller.
But they last longer.
@_TheGameOfLife_ You described the mass media business model.
They repeat something so many times that people end up believing it.
After that, it's just a snowball effect.
- It does not matter who you are.
- It does not matter how talented you are.
- I don't care if you have a better education or more possibilities than me.
You can't outwork me. Ever.
