become smart as f*ck

Schrodinger's stupidity, how to stand out, be valuable, make impact and some newsletter rant. This one is short I promise. <2min read

Schrodinger's Stupidity:

The only way to know if an idea is stupid or smart is by sharing the idea.

If you keep it to yourself and don't allow people from different lenses to test and see if it holds weight. It'll be ambiguously stupid and smart.

And you'll never know how smart or stupid you could be (which is vital for self-improvement).

If you still prefer to keep it to yourself, it means you prefer looking smart to being smart.

Keeping knowledge to yourself hoping others would know less so you can be better than them is one of the most counterproductive things in the society.

You're scared someone will be better than you because you don't have the self awareness required to realize your own uniqueness and how to tap into it to create your own knowledge, methods and solutions to the problems around you.

You develop your uniqueness by having self-experimentation, self-reflection, self-development, self-reliance, self-education, self-sufficiency and self-mastery.

"You are worried about what will be relevant 20 years from now because you are dependent on everyone but yourself for your success."

~Dan

You can choose to be more productive than your peer by working harder or studying harder or being stronger or smarter or whatever.

But there will always be someone(thing) more productive than you in that robotic task.

As long as someone taught you how to do something, they can teach another person (or AI) and replace you.

Being irreplaceable comes from the self.

Working for 100 years does not justify earning $1

How much you make is dependent on how much people care about your value.

The value you command is directly correlated with the degree to which others recognize your uniqueness and the problems you can solve for them.

If you want to be irreplaceable and journey into genuine creativity and value creation.

If you want to stop feeding off of people's ideas and make your own (you can't be the smartest with another person's ideas).

If you want to be able to create your own knowledge and systems and share to the world.

If you want to make a name for yourself, and make wealth doing so:

You need to develop your value with the self-traits I mentioned earlier.

Whew, just wanted to dump my thoughts somewhere.

I'll write in more detail about that later, but if you want it sooner, you can reply β€œFAST" and I'll send it to you quicker.

You're in the right place, but also share this newsletter with people. (https://tbk.beehiiv.com/)
