So, I'm gonna start with some quick background of me, I've been studying entrepreneurship, marketing and business through online courses and videos for a couple years, invested tens of thousands, made several hundreds of thousands too, but this is not to be taken as some cool data that automatically makes me right about everything, I just hope it makes me look like I'm not a random idiot speaking his mind. Oh and I'm also a diagnosed sociopath and have 150+ IQ if you care, but still, irrelevant data, and please, don't start a whole argument telling me I gave this data away just to brag, I don't care about that, so don't be that guy, that guy who thinks everyone driving a Lamborghini is showing off instead of thinking "that's just his car", aight? .
Here's what I'm going to explain in this thread:
- Why "GENIUS" is a construct and is not real
- Why genius can be learnt
- Why IQ is irrelevant (this coming from a 150+ IQ guy must be interesting, right?)
- How to be genius
- How to get filthy rich by being "genius"
- The importance of objectivity, and why it EQUALS genius
Let's start with...
#1 WHY GENIUS IS A CONSTRUCT AND IS NOT REAL
We as human beings are animals, we are no gods or anything like that, we're only very evolved animals, and as such we have instincts.
Instinct is the exact opposite of logic, and in most cases decisions taken by instinct end up being poor decisions, no shit.
So, why is genius "not real"? Because 99.99999% of people are not objective.
Most people think they use logic, but they don't, let's see an example: Mr. Smith says he wants to have more money, but when he does have more money (he would call it "spare money") he spends it.
How is his behavior congruent with his affirmation? He says he wants more money but when he has it he gets rid of it? This sounds a bit irrational doesn't it? Because it is.
What I did here is basically being objective, nothing more.
Are you still with me? Good.
So, let’s analyze what some genius guy called Albert Einstein did, he figured out about time relativity. Did he invent it? Nope. He just NOTICED it was there.
Relativity was there before Einstein, it has always been, but how did Einstein figure it out? By being OBJECTIVE. He set up a mental experiment and simply found out about it, but he didn’t create it out of nowhere.
Einstein is a genius COMPARED to other people, who like Mr. Smith are NOT objective and behave irrationally, while thinking all they do is perfectly logical (when there’s clear evidence it’s not).
According to most people (yeah, I’m talking about them, all of them Mr. Smiths all around the world) genius is about “seeing the world in a ‘different way’ than most people”, no shit, but then let’s see it this way: “to be genius, you MUST NOT think like most people”. Does this make any sense? Awesome.
People who think “out of the box” really just think objectively, nothing more than that, because you can see more than reality itself, it’s all about how objectively you see it, it’s like growing up from being a child to an adult, you acquire more consciousness of the world, you keep seeing it in a different way while growing up, that’s why it would be so easy to scam a kid, cus he’s gullible because he’s not objective.
What we’ve seen here is how genius is really all about objectivity, you might still be skeptical, but there’s a lot more to come.
#2 WHY GENIUS CAN BE LEARNT
As we’ve talked about objectivity, I hope you’re not telling yourself objectivity can’t be learnt, it’s just about being honest with yourself, it’s about seeing stuff the way it really is, just like Einstein did, he just NOTICED, he SAW something, he didn’t make anything up.
How do you learn how to be objective? You look for EVIDENCE. No evidence means whatever thought you think is rational is not.
Do you want to be rich? Most people do, all of them go to school, get good grades, go to college and end up in McDonald’s, but not even one of them think maybe they’re doing something wrong. They hold on tight to their delusional belief that if they keep doing THAT they will get rich “for some reason”, but they really have no idea how the thing is actually going to happen.
How is this even rational? It’s completely delusional, but that’s how most people think (most meaning at least 99%, not 50.0001%).
How do you behave objectively in this situation? You think: “I want to get rich. I haven’t got rich yet. This data tells me I’m doing something wrong.” That’s all you need to do.
No evidence/results means you’re wrong, ever seen someone with a shit and fat body being 100% confident he knows shit about diet? So where’s his perfect cholesterol test? Where’s his sixpack? Of course there are exceptions to this, there are people who have the right knowledge and just don’t give a damn about applying it for themselves, I’ve seen GREAT dentists with terrible teeth, but this is not what we’re talking about, cus exceptions are (by definition) NOT “average”, exceptions are NOT “typical”, and so on.
So, how do you learn genius? You do by starting to look for evidence for each claim, no evidence means the claim is just a claim and has no real value.
I hope by this point you have noticed how “genius” is all about being objective, skeptical and slightly nihilist.
#3 WHY IQ IS IRRELEVANT FOR SUCCESS
I’m pretty sure some of you guys reading this will feel better about themselves, and here’s why IQ is completely irrelevant for success.
Have you ever noticed that not all people who are more successful than you are also smarter than you? Maybe you were the smartest guy in school, the best at maths, the best at physics, you would explain stuff to your dumber classmates, but the dumb guy from school now makes x2, x5, x10 the money YOU make?
This is enough EVIDENCE to prove high IQ is not a must-have to reach success. (Notice how objective this sentence is).
Also, IQ tests are basically more and more complicated “mazes” that you need to figure out, like 2 triangles, 1 triangle upside down, 1 sideways triangle containing the number “4” and then “what’s the next symbol?” and then you have to choose between something like a watermelon emoji, a square, number 9 and a black dot.
(Yeah, I know, I’m really funny)
Of course there’s only 1 correct answer, and as the test was created by someone, the correct answer ALREADY IS the correct answer, it already exists, you just need to ANALYZE the situation and figure out what’s next.
The only way to get the right answer is to be objective of course, the more objective you are, the more chances you have to pick the correct answer, I think this is pretty obvious (and “OBVIOUS” is a very interesting word too).
So, if you still agree with me, what we’ve noticed here is that the correct answer comes from objectivity, not from IQ, IQ is what makes you figure out the correct answer in 5 minutes instead of a few centuries, IQ basically measures how quickly you can “solve” complicated problems, it’s somehow how powerful your “CPU” is, but it’s not enough and it’s not the key to solving the problem, it’s just a “vehicle”.
#4 HOW TO BE GENIUS
If you want to be genius (which as we’ve seen doesn’t exist) compared to others, cus everything is all about comparison, there’s no stupid without smart, there’s no ugly without good looking, there’s no big without small… All you have to do is NOT BE LIKE THEM and NOT BEHAVE LIKE THEM.
It’s really that easy.
You decide do be Mr. Smith or Einstein, there’s no other type of person, Mr. Smiths made that up to feel better about themselves being Mr. Smiths, but you’re either objective or irrational, you decide.
#5 HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH BY BEING GENIUS
Isn’t it one funny coincidence that pretty much all billionaires are widely referred to as “geniuses”? But they’re labelled as geniuses by Mr. Smiths, so does this label even have any real value? Of course it doesn’t.
The only way to get rich is to be an entrepreneur, I’m taking this for granted but apparently some people haven’t realized this yet, and an entrepreneur is basically a marketing expert, Steve Jobs was not a computer scientist, he was a natural born marketing expert, but marketing can be learnt (and I mean actual marketing, not college degree marketing that will get you a burger flipping job) and what marketing is about is monetization.
Marketing is not advertising, it’s not thinking about how to make commercials, it’s not branding… Marketing is about finding and audience, finding out what they want and giving it to them while extracting the maximum amount of money from their pockets, THIS is what marketing really is.
The thing with marketing is that it’s not a thing, it’s a skill, or a pack of skills (like mental manipulation, budgeting, communication, copywriting, advertising…) and it needs a business to be applied to, so you can be as much as a marketing expert as you want, but if you have no business to apply all your beautiful knowledge to, your knowledge is useless, so you need a business.
Right now there are several opportunities with online businesses like Dropshipping, Affiliate Marketing, Amazon FBA, E-Commerce, Consulting, Social Media Marketing Agencies… And there’s plenty of online courses about how to actually start each of these businesses, and I’m pretty sure most of you guys reading this think “the 1k or 2k courses are scams!! Blah blah blah” and are freaking broke.
Some are great, some are crap, but I’m not making any names, all you need to know is some courses are really good, so don’t get depressed if you bump into a crap course.
Again, it’s all about objectivity, you have no results? Then there must be something you’re missing, this is what courses are for.
The only guy I’m going to mention is Dan Kennedy, he’s the absolute best when it comes to mental manipulation, copywriting and business development, and indirectly teaches you a lot about objectivity, so…
His courses are very expensive but you can find very valuable courses of his for free pretty easily.
To get back to the point, we’ve seen how what all people call “genius” is really just “objective”, so, how do you get filthy rich by being objective? This is something I’m not capable to explain in this particular moment, but just put together what I’ve said about business and marketing and you might figure out what I’m talking about, marketing is really all about the maths, like “a prospect costs me 10$, I have a 2% conversion rate, this makes my cost-per-client 500$, so my margin on whatever I’m selling must be WAY higher than 500$” this is so objective and obvious I shouldn’t even be saying it, but still, the more info the better.
If you’re too lazy to do the maths, here’s what I just did, 1 prospect costs 10$, 100 prospects cost 1,000$, a 2% conversion rate means 2 prospects out of 100 buy my product, as I’ve spent 1,000$ to acquire 100 prospects, 2 of which have purchased, I’m dividing 1,000$ by 2, and this makes me figure out I need to spend 500$ to acquire a client for my business. If what I PROFIT from what I sell is LESS than 500$, then I’m losing money. No escape from this, right? Fine.
#6 THE IMPORTANCE OF OBJECTIVITY AND WHY IT EQUALS GENIUS
I don’t think this needs any more explanation, if you still haven’t got it then go back to the top and read the whole thing again, remember IQ only helps you understand stuff more quickly, if you have a low IQ it’s fine, just take your time, I know I sound like a dick, but I’ve also said IQ is not important so you shouldn’t be mad at me (by logic, right?) Ok at this point I’m just playing around.
Hope this was helpful and it helped you “crack the code” in some way.
Remember, data is always right, you either have facts or opinions.
If you don’t want to be average just don’t be average, watch what average people do and simply don’t do that, it’s that easy, it’s like saying “I don’t want to be an alcoholic”, all you need to do is not drink a bottle of Jägermeister for breakfast and you’re done.
Don’t be Mr. Smiths guys, please.
EDIT:
One last thing, I've mentioned the word "obvious", it's interesting for one simple reason, all discoveries made by "genius" people are obvious when revealed. How do you figure out something obvious? By being objective, THESE WORDS ARE GREEN, that's obvious right? But how did you notice that? You just looked at them and saw they are green, and that shade of green even has its own HTML color code, that's very objective and is 100% true. The same thing applies to everything else, no matter how complicated it is, "genius" is just the first guy who notices "those words are green", but after he reveals it, it's obvious to everyone else, and only objective stuff can be obvious, unless you're completely delusional and think the world is OBVIOUSLY ruled by evil people who kill babies and sacrifice them to Satan while people at NASA have a laugh thinking of us idiots who believe the Earth is a globe, in that case this post was definitely not for you, but thanks for passing by.
