Sind deine Überzeugungen wirklich deine eigenen?

0:00There are two types of people. Those who want to know more and those who want to defend what they already know. >> So many people are afraid of changing their mind when most of their beliefs aren't even theirs to begin with. >> Man, I got some good quotes. >> That first one's Morgan Hustle, so you can go [ __ ] yourself. Yeah. Um >> No, cuz I like it. It's interesting that we said that cuz I was like, man, [ __ ] I was like, I don't even remember that [ __ ]

0:25>> That's why. >> Yeah. Uh there's a a idea called >> the second half is Yeah, I did write. Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh do you know what the dead internet theory is? >> No. >> Uh over time so much content on the internet is going to be created by AI and bots that >> nothing is going to be left that's userenerated. Essentially, it's going to be a rounding error of that. It's dead internet theory.

0:49I get the sense that the people who are concerned about dead internet theory should have been concerned a long time ago given that most people are propagating ideas that they didn't even come up with and can't explain. It's like you're worried about mindless robotic creatures producing things on the internet that you might have to read. >> Have you seen what most people put on the internet and ask them about where they got that idea from?

1:15>> So yeah, I think the dead internet theories already occurred. It's just it's as Naval says, people failing the touring test in reverse. >> People failing the touring test in reversed, so they behave like robots. H the second half of the quote was what? >> So many people are afraid of changing their mind when most of their beliefs aren't even theirs to begin with. H. So, there's this this quote by Marcus Aurelius that I have I wrote I wrote on the the executive.

1:48>> How much [ __ ] wall space have you got? >> It's all whiteboard. Yeah, there's a lot. Um, and it was uh, what are you so afraid of losing when nothing in this world belongs to you? And I read that and I was like, [ __ ] that's good. And so, like there's also things, but there's also beliefs. Like, what are we so afraid of? Because every belief that we have like we got it like we come as a blank slate right now. You could say you know I combined three things and made it my own. You know I think you've you've you've read enough quotes in this world that like most interesting things have already been said.

2:21>> Um but the ability to change your mind um like if you can't if you can't explain why you believe what you believe um then it isn't your belief. It is someone else's. And what's weird about that is that people are willing to defend someone else's belief, but they're not willing to accept someone else's belief. >> It's just that it's just one step removed. >> I'm talking to you and it's your belief. And I'm defending another person's belief, but it's mine right now, but it's not mine.

2:45>> And I, you know, strong beliefs loosely held is I think a saying in the Y cominator world. um like before I get this like big trigger effect of like uh he says that I am wrong and therefore he is calling me stupid and I'm inadequate and I will die because I will you like and you extrapolate it to everything. Um I think the quick check of like why do like what if he's right and I think that's a great perspective. I remember having my own mind changed on something like this. I had to do a debate um when I was in high school for affirmative action and so I was a very pro- affirmative action guy uh going into that debate. I had to argue the opposite perspective for the debate.

3:24>> That's cool. >> And by uh and that was I think I think it was one of the requirements the teachers. Everyone had to say what side they were on and they just flipped it. Um which was amazing teaching by the way. >> Yeah, it's really cool. >> Um and at the end of the whole thing I was like I was wrong. I actually think this hurts people more than it helps people. And like I had all these I had all this reasoning behind it. Um and I I'll tell you a completely different scenario of this in terms of questioning our beliefs. So, in in the gym world, which is where I came from, um I remember a period of time where I saw people work out and I would I would judge them and I'd be like, "That guy's form is bad or he's doing too much volume or he's not he's not, you know, squeezing in the right way, whatever."

4:05And then I learned more and then learned that that, you know, thing that I was seeing some guy do actually was more effective and my thing was not as effective. And then a few years passed and then I learned that the original thing that I said was actually the thing that mattered. And then I learned even more and it was like, oh, so >> all of these things have different rates of progress based on uh quote efficacy, but all of us eventually cap out at our genetic max. And so all we're really debating, all we're really debating here is how quickly we reach our genetic max.

4:38And if I enjoy training, wouldn't I rather have longer progress over an extended period of time? So then which one is better? Huh? And so it's just like and and basically having myself and luckily for me at least um each of those times where I quote learned that I was wrong, it was in silence and I after like the third or fourth time of this where it got flipped again and again, I was like, you know, maybe I should back off a little bit.

5:04>> Just be humble. Yeah. [laughter] Like I'm just going to exercise the way I like to. And kind of like the pursuit of why for you, like I I like training this way. I can't really explain it too well. It just seems to give me joy. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yep. Yeah. Uh there's this idea from Gwindog. >> Can I add something to this which is I saw this uh this yacht >> and it had the because every yacht names are always like wild, right? And it said um don't analyze your pleasures.

5:30>> What's that mean to you? >> He used the word analyze, but I think judge is the right is the word that he that he that he I'm assuming it was he cuz >> this thing makes you feel good. >> Yeah. Don't don't question it. Don't worry about it. Just let it be. >> Yeah, that's really cool. That is really really cool. >> Like don't sec it's like the suffer like only suffer once. >> Like don't judge this >> thing went well. Sure. I mean just enjoy it. Enjoy it.

5:55>> Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. What the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate. And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brickandmortar, all of this.
