Everyone wants to make more smart decisions but no one actively works on getting smarter.

 

Everyone is looking for the next big thing and next cool trick but no one exercises the brain.

 

You lift weights physically to strengthen your muscles but do you lift weights mentally?

 

Do you hit your brain-muscles from different angels?

 

Reading books seems to be the most that people manage to get out of themselves. What happened with the good old handiness?

 

Antifragile approach to intelligence is massive exposure to diverse complications.

 

….obviously! And yet – we can’t even make our own fucking dinner!

What happened to the good old quick-wit? Handiness?

 

Learning new skills is of TREMENDOUS benefit to the brain.

Packing knowledge into your head is one thing. Exercising your neurons and synapses is another.

Know the difference.

 

I don’t believe you should be reading another book if you can’t make yourself a nice dinner, or fix your car.

 

Specialising makes you a better specialist.

It makes you more money.

But it doesn’t make you smarter.

 

Smarts thrive on disorganised challenges. And the challenge of disorganisation.

 

You can be knowledgeable tomorrow but learn to be smart today.
