You should think very highly of yourself. Not out of ego, but because of growth. You know what it took for you to become you: The battles nobody saw. The sacrifices nobody applauded. Growth deserves recognition. Respect your resilience. Honor your journey. Know your value.
I believe extreme intelligence, anything north of an IQ of 150, makes finding a life partner extraordinarily difficult.
Think about it. It is entirely possible that main reason people like Newton never married was because they simply could not find women who could meet them where they lived intellectually. Human beings desire many things in a partner, but understanding ranks far higher than most are willing to admit.
You might point to people like Feynman or Von Neumann and say they married. Fair enough. Yet both men married more than once, which only strengthens my suspicion. The higher one’s intelligence, the smaller the circle of people capable of genuinely sharing one’s interests, curiosities and obsessions. The world becomes increasingly populated by people you can speak to, yet remarkably sparse in people who truly understand what excites you.
At some point, intelligence ceases to be an advantage and becomes a kind of isolation. The conversation you crave becomes rarer. The connection you seek becomes rarer. The person capable of meeting you on equal footing becomes rarer. And rarity, as I have found, has always been the enemy of finding love.
the dumbest way to live is to keep getting dragged down by losers and toxic family. everyone who’s ever clawed their way from zero to millions knows the drill,go quiet and cut the dead weight when you're down,link up with the big players when you're rising,and only keep the real ones when you’ve made it.
there’s a saying: don’t try to be the hero for the broke. they don’t want your advice they want your cash and they’re just waiting for you to fail. it sounds harsh, but it’s real.
you want to get in the room with the pros? you’ve either got to bring game-changing value or show you’ve got the guts to go all in. add a little thick-skinned friendliness, and you can break through any wall. the only real shortcut to turning your life around is simple: change your zip code metaphorically. stop hanging out with the bottom-feeders. get around people who are ahead of you, and watch how fast your entire reality opens up.
It’s incredible the lengths to which people will dumb themselves down just keep pushing identity politics and a priori theories of Black Patriarchy. If you think Black men “change in and out of 2nd place with white women,” despite all evidence to the contrary, you are criminally incompetent.
Close your eyes. You've seen enough. Nobody else could ever speak your intrinsic language. They are polluting your voice. Your most impressive aspects remain unexplored. You deserve to speak. Craft your tongue.
Every day, try to develop greater clarity about setups. process, entries, exits, stops, sizing, timeframes, and catalysts.
The more you reorganize the knowledge and spend time understanding the setup, the easier it will be to implement.
This requires real dedication to repeatedly revisit a setup, reclarify, and reset your mind.
When you immerse yourself in this, one day it clicks, and then suddenly everything starts working.
Through more reflection and revisiting the same idea, the idea becomes part of you.
And whenever we engage in such purposeful mind-clarity efforts in any field, it always results in significant money.
Depth creates wealth.
As far as the intelligence required to be successful in the modern day goes – you don't need it in drastic genius proportions, but need to be able to do 3 things well:
1. Observe, analyse and accurately DECONSTRUCT what other successful people are doing and exactly why it works for them.
Most fail at this stage, and they have no idea.
You see it in their commentary on everything. They try to be reductionist, yet their conclusions when deconstructing a situation are so wrong you wonder how they get through life safely
All discourse on this app reveals to you how good people are at this.
Many disguised simpletons pride themselves in "simplicity" – but for them it's often a borrowed virtue because many genius thinkers in history relayed the message of uncomplicating ideas.
But this was a luxury afforded to them AFTER painstakingly parsing through the nuances of a subject rigorously for years. Not before.
Most reduce concepts they do not have the capacity to understand to the their own level, and their conclusions betray the key points were lost on them, or are blatantly wrong.
E.g.
Nietzsche saying:
"Everything in women is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution – it is called pregnancy"
Reads simply, and the casual will take it at face value, to suggest she just needs to get pregnant to solve her problems – because that is all they know; their reasoning stops there.
Unless you've already understood the concept of the "blind will" and his almost Schopenhauer-like view on the biological seriousness of a Womans instincts as it relates to the generative advancement of the species & how it unconsciously shapes her relations to life, men, and the shared character of all women, it takes on a completely different meaning when deconstructed.
When I say the vast majority of people live in a state of blindness because they unknowingly limit their intellect – this is what I mean.
The more you understand, the more ordinary things become fascinating, sublime, and worthy of reverence to you.
Any person with mastery in any subject will relate to this,
but the TLDR casual can never comprehend or contemplate the beauty in the world all around them, because their intellect does not permit them to deconstruct it accurately, or at all.
2. CONSTRUCT for n=1.
Amalgamating the key parts of what they accurately deconstructed.
Sensible plans that make sense for their own circumstance. Ability to know which pieces of advice are broad and general and which bits to keep in their tool box for different scenarios that demand it.
Improves with wisdom (the directional and situationally orientating compass of intellect). Requires knowledge of inner knowledge of self and their relation to the world around them.
This is the most dangerous one to struggle with.
Most laws of society are based on the fact the majority of people truly do not possess this in respectable measure.
Speeding limits can seem ridiculous in certain areas, but without them, most cannot sensibly make a safe judgement of how fast they should go.
It is why if you write a post about an unconventional method about health you have to write disclaimers & warnings for people who cannot figure out whether if they should do it.
If you're still reading at this point, you're likely part of my core audience who does not need constant disclaimers for things.
3. INTEGRATION.
Real world testing and feedback. Requires rapid n=1 iterations initially, then a period of time to study their own data, why the data takes a particular shape, then refine it according to their own knowledge of their nature and character to make it uniquely theirs.
Continuous refinement and mastery happens here. This is where you break things down for yourself, are clear on what you optimise for, when, and why.
Implement the law of Cause and Effect.
Everything in existence is an algorithmic process, and if you do not recognise that it is because you don't understand the algorithm well enough.
Imagine sitting down at your desk and executing the same exact profitable model everyday at the same time and winning more days than not. Imagine when that becomes muscle memory. Imagine this, all you have to do is add more capital to that same system to live out your dreams.
Imagine that.
