I just got high*IQ %com which I'm honored to hodl.

This will be a labor of passion and love.

(p.s reach out if you have IQ 155+, I'd like to share some things I've been reading etc)

Controlling your schedule and time completely without external demands is the greatest form of wealth and happiness. That means no boss, no hassles, no employees, no bills, no mortgage or rent, no deadlines, little stress, etc. Too many people focus on achieving material wealth, and collecting expensive “stuff”, which is all about projecting their ego. Being a slave to your possessions. I have met enough smart, financially successful people who are miserable and fail to realize this.

I apologize. You are right. The author distinguishes between those.

Apparently, income doesn't translate into wealth that quickly and takes generations to build often.

About 30%, if I am not mistaken, of US millionaires are self made, meaning the majority have inherited it. Also, to become really rich, just IQ is not sufficient. You need persistence, grit, people skills, connections, frugality, entrepreneurial spirit...

... or a lot of luck. Recently read a study and luck turns out to be the biggest factor. It was an interesting read. I seem to have misplaced the paper but if I come across the online version I'll share it.

Potentially an underrated post but I feel you.
I'd add an amazing upbringing from early age with lots of educational fun and stimuli (though for the record, not something I received but I'm ok)

Taleb?

Taleb?

Yes, could very well be. I have some published work by him. Definitely worth reading. Im not sure though as I'm redoing my study so I have a lot of stuff boxed up atm.

I hardly watch any tv, instead I read a lot so I have accumulated quite some volume over the years. I prefer the actual hardcopies over epubs... it takes up space Would love to have a photographic memory to be able to memorize everything, unfortunately that's not the case. That, plus I'm bad with names in general.

If you are bad with names, domains aren't for you

I think if you study successful people, they are the same. I would hope more young brains were used to learn, invent, create something productive. TV and Social Media are great time dumps.

I recommend “the 22 immutable laws of marketing”. Ries and Trout.

Lol. It's seriously annoying though cos people are introducing themselves and half an hour later I'm like, "what's his name again?".

Thanks for that. I'll watch it later on. I actually do enjoy the occasional binge watching of a proper series but in general TV (and social media for that matter) are not for me.

I'm sure there's a lot of positive to say about both but as far as I'm concerned most of it is poisonous to the mind and 'real' social engagement. Just my opinion ofcourse.

Its a great book, very succinct. Not TV. Yes, people should meet face to face if possible and focus on the Customer, or at a minimum call and talk.

I was curious, so I took a look and saw that there really isn't a correlation between iq and wealth.

Trump is an example of no correlation between IQ and wealth

Trump has a high IQ as I understand. Master manipulator of outcomes that yield to his agenda.
