People who call themselves non-analytical often say that they couldn’t do or understand something and that it’s over their head. Nonsense.When supposedly smarter people do or say something that’s over your head, do you think they were born that way? Of course not.They reached that point through education and hard work. It wouldn’t be over your head if you did the same.Analytical intelligence is easy to show off, but other kinds of intelligence are just as important but more subtle.There are also many things you know that the other person doesn’t. I don’t care how smart they are; there are…

In all of human history, the current era stands out for radical innovation. The ongoing AI era is poised to quickly change the world on a more radical level through innovation than what has been done in any previous era.Reflecting on past breakthroughs like the original iPhone, which addressed issues unbeknownst to users, it becomes apparent that such innovations merely scratch the surface of what’s coming. The future holds the promise of even more groundbreaking advancements that will redefine everything in the years ahead.If you wanted to be a part of the radical innovations that happened in prior tech booms,…

The best chess player was not an AI.The best chess player was an AI with a human (a Centaur Team).Chess engines (AKA chess AIs) determined how good/bad a move is by analyzing the possible positions resulting from that move, and then comparing them to the other possible positions resulting from other possible moves.Chess engines didn’t genuinely understand position dynamics like a Grandmaster did, and that led to some positions where a Grandmaster has a better strategy than an engine due to the limits of such brute force.Chess engines didn’t look at position and think, ‘Hmm, this is a really closed…

Economics is only about who owns what and how those assets are used. Even abundant EAGI (embodied artificial general intelligence) won’t change that. Control assets, apply efficiency, hope for luck; that equation doesn’t change.Active income = renting the only asset you can’t store, your time. Engineers, landlords, founders all do it. Passive income just substitutes someone else’s time (or eventually, an EAGI’s).We’re nowhere near AGI (artificial general intelligence) yet, but imagine EAGIs (robots controlled by AGI) becoming as abundant as smartphones.When EAGIs outperform humans at everything, the key question is who owns them. Own even one EAGI unit, and you…

Here’s the link to the condensed version of this post. It’s about ownership. Even abundant EAGI (embodied artificial general intelligence) could never change that.Regardless of what happens with AI in the coming decades, it will still only be about ownership, as it always has been and always will be.The only goal in business is getting the most ROI from the resources you own. Efficiency (and luck) are the only ways someone might outperform another person.Economics is only about who owns what and how people/entities use what they own.Active income (whether as an employee or an entrepreneur) is just trading ownership…

Why are most of the world’s richest people not from ultra‑rich families?Because in the long-term, growth rate beats everything.What distinguishes those who consistently achieve a higher growth rate?Execution is critical, but millions execute well. That’s not it.It’s the ideas, the solutions to the ambiguous problems.Think about it.Thousands of capable entrepreneurs had already launched internet businesses when Jeff Bezos was just getting started with Amazon.Amazon’s long-term vision was to become the store for everything, and to start with books: a brilliant answer to the ambiguous problem of pairing a bold vision with a feasible first model.While other talented executors went broke…

Only an AGI could be better at ideation for ambiguous problems than humans. Modern AI is a great tool to use and it is more knowledgeable than any one human, but it is much less intelligent than a human.I think we’re very far from any form of AGI, but when/if AGI exists and it becomes better at ideation for ambiguous problems, AI will have become better than humans in every rational intellectual metric.AI would have become more capable in every white collar and blue collar position (assuming it is coupled with great robotic technology); from CEOs to plumbers.When/if that happens,…

I’ve heard/read some people say you should lie on your Resume because employers lie to you or have unreasonable requirements.Even if some employers are dishonest or have unreasonable requirements, it’s never an excuse to be dishonest yourself.You shouldn’t be dishonest because it’s immoral. But, beyond that, it also hurts your reputation, and a damaged reputation is thankfully damn hard to fix.Unfortunately, some big corporations can get away with being dishonest to their employees. You’re not a big corporation; being dishonest might knock you into a different life.If your employer is dishonest to you, then leave or at least be weary…

Anyone reading this is only alive due to the sheer luck of that car on a 2 lane highway not veering off. Many people who offer less value than you will blow you out of the water in their success. But, that’s not an excuse to get bitter about failing despite offering more value than those who succeeded. It’s an excuse to keep rolling the dice until you get lucky. I created Omnilow along with many other ideas that I know are groundbreaking, and I made those ideas freely available. None have lead to the right people realizing that my…

Here is a post by u/SolidFabric (at www.reddit.com/r/TIHP/comments/ox980r). I’ll copy it below.Holiness, perfection, and greatness might all usually be subjective. But the holy being causes all of the holy principles to be true and the holy being is omnipotent, so they are objective when discussed in the holy principles. The holy principles and the holy being are the highest and most fundamental layer of existence.
