At some point control of one's own business future balances out a certain level of profit.

I also wonder if personel/talents/headcount to handle all that crap can become an issue. VPs (CEOs even) distracted with compliance etc.

" The great leaders are masters at that. I often think about the current China leader for example. It's just an example. " You mean that guy who brings Chinese economy into troubles and just does one genocide (or two, if you count Tibet).

See my other comment. Some (most?) people dont care about advancement. Or rather, their position on that is complicated for practical purposes.

On the other hand there is a seat that must be filled and hence there will be somebody taking that place. It's a zero sum game: if you win I lose.

I would rate proving Poincare conjecture and that kind of thing much higher because its _not_ zero-sum and is a pure advancement.

Thanks for bringing that up.

More and more for practical purposes I tend to believe that - sit tight - everybody is solving or capable of solving the Poincaré conjecture. Let me explain.

Granted some people are simple, but most are actually very gifted at what they do ; it's just that the type of engineering they do is different than yours (or mine, whatever). Besos says "there is a million types of inteligence".

Some are good at making dramas for example - and they'd beat you at that game every single day. Some others are good at, I dont know, working out.

Many people are very very good at playing dumb is actually my very point. And they love that. If you are observant, you'll see little clues that they are geniuses in some ways. It's just that they dont care about advancement. In itself it's a form of dumbness but beside that, they freaking good.

You can easily do x2 on your percieved intelligence and engineering capabilities of people. They way way better at what they do than meet the eye. Especially nowdays as they are educated.

It's very practical to think that way Ive found.

I would be interested to know exactly which video of Robert Greene's this is. Just finished reading Mastery this morning. Great author and thinker. He is very in tune with human nature and instinct.

It's on tiktok, where he is active.

Robert Greene explains in a video his 48th law of power.

The rule is there is no rule. Life is fluid he says. You've got to pickup the little clues, use your intuition and your gut feelings.

This perfectly matches my experience of life. When you arrives in a situation with a premade plan and execute blindly, it often fails dramatically, even if on paper you did exactly what you were supposed to. Especially with people of course. You've got to go with the "flow", read the room, feel the air. Sometimes it almost feels magical. Even the light a particular day will be different and somehow, things are different - the people in the street, the mood of your boss, everything.

The great leaders are masters at that. I often think about the current China leader for example. It's just an example.

Do you picture what a person must pull off to get that seat? It's unimaginable. You've got to smell the "bullets" coming miles away before they're even shot, from a shooter you dont even know. Just on a hunch because that day, the light was different.

quadcore commented on EU Parliament commitee approves cash cap and ban on anonymous crypto payments   patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-c... · Posted by u/ruiseal

Generally prohibiting anonymous payments would at best have minimal effects on crime, but it would deprive innocent citizens of their financial freedom. The medicines or sex toys I buy is nobody’s business

The consequences of KYC are way worse than that. You have to interact with someone in power when you make a payment, thats the bad part. Cause that someone now have a good occasion to hurt you (racism, discrimination, political opposition, wars, etc).

Im speaking from experience here. Moreover the rich and powerful makes payments the way they want lets not fool ourselves.

Now granted they catch some dirty shit with KYC but we'd like to see some report on the extent of that at least.
