\ufffcBetter to have more focused and concentrated wealth and capital, than more yet less focused wealth and capital?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the first insight: certainly number go up is a great feeling. To see your Whether you measure it in US dollars or bitcoins or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if we think about this critically\u2026 Typically the idea is that the more wealth you have the more you have the more powerful you feel, the more happy and joyful you feel, the more secure you feel, the more pride you feel etc. but is this the case? \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, let us say that you have $500, thousand dollars, $5000, $10,000, $20,000, $40,000, $80,000, $100,000, $200,000, 20 $50,000, $500,000, 700,000, 800,000, 1 million, 2 million, 3 million, 4 million, 10 million, 20 million, 50 million, 100 million, 200 million, 500 million, 1 billion, 2 billion etc. At what point do you feel strong and prosperous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly it is all a framing and inquiring thing. For example, once you hit a certain number, you become fixated on that number, and truth be told\u2026 It is very difficult to shake yourself from that number. I know this especially in bodybuilding and weightlifting and powerlifting, it is all about numbers. Like bodybuilders want to weigh 200 pounds with a six pack, power lifters want to dead lift over 1000 pounds etc., numbers matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? Typically the numbers and the feeling<\/em> of progress is happiness. Yet, consider;<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s better? Somebody who starts with $500 in their checking account and then gets $10,000, or somebody who has $50 million in their Investments and sees it go down to like 9 million?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The person in the first scenario because, once again\u2026 It is like the relative growth and the percentage growth up or down which matters the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We Spartans don\u2019t ask how many are the enemy\u2026 We ask where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n a man once telling the Spartans, the enemy is close by! In the Spartan smiles and says, then also\u2026 they are close to us.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \ufffc\ufffctowards a more Dionysian line of thinking, perhaps some sort of grim and dark humor is actually beneficial?<\/p>\n\n\n\n a Persian emissary saying — \u201cour arrows shall blot out the sun!\u201d Spartan: \u201cThen we shall fight in the shade\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n If you think about it, life real life, assuming that you\u2019re an entrepreneur, risk taker, and or risk loving human being\u2026 It\u2019s impossible to go throughout all of life without some sort of damage or wounds, or to suffer in injuries from attacks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufffc I actually had a really optimistic thought last night, the idea of hyper growth. That deep severe wounds are actually insanely desirable because\u2026 They are the hyper stimulus to our hyper growth and that is what matters the most?<\/p>\n\n\n\n ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ufffcBetter to have more focused and concentrated wealth and capital, than more yet less focused wealth and capital?
