Started reading "๐™๐ž๐ซ๐จ ๐ญ๐จ ๐Ž๐ง๐ž." today by Peter Thiel Havenโ€™t gone far. Just a few pages in.
But something is interesting about books that donโ€™t try to teach you immediatelyโ€ฆ They challenge you first. This one starts with a question: โ€œ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ง?โ€ And it lingers. Because if weโ€™re honest, most of us donโ€™t operate on โ€œtruthsโ€ we discovered ourselves. We operate on accepted ideas. The world often tells us: "๐˜›๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ด, ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต, ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต, ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆโ€ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ." And yes, that works. Itโ€™s safe. Itโ€™s proven. But these early pages hint at something very different. That real breakthroughs might not come from refining whatโ€™s already thereโ€ฆ But from thinking in a way that doesnโ€™t rely on it at all. But what if thatโ€™s not enough? What if the real edge comes from seeing something others donโ€™t yet? -It requires independent thinking. -Seeing something others donโ€™t. -Believing something before itโ€™s obvious. Still early in the book, but itโ€™s already shifting how I think about progress. Not 1 -> n. But 0 -> 1. Curious to hear! Whatโ€™s something you believe that most people would challenge? Iโ€™m still at the beginningโ€ฆ But already, it feels like this book is less about answers and more about how you think. So Iโ€™ll leave this here, Whatโ€™s a belief you hold that most people donโ€™t agree with?
