First Become A King
You have to absolutely and completely ignore
Business journalists and economists, academics
When they talk about private companies
I won't even name names
But like, when a famous economist rails on bitcoin
Or when a business journalist attacks
The latest company that's IPOing
It's complete nonsense
Those people have never built anything
They're professional critics
They don't know anything about making money
Those people have never built anything
They're professional critics
They don't know anything about making money
Those people have never built anything
They're professional critics
They don't know anything about making money
All they know is how to criticize and get page views
You are literally becoming dumber by reading them
You are burning neurons (Word is born)
All they know is how to criticize and get page views
You are literally becoming dumber by reading them
You are burning neurons (Word is born)
I'll leave you with a quote from Nassim Taleb that I liked
"If you want to be a philosopher king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king"
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
And one of the reasons
Why we're a little vague in this album
Is because we're trying to lay down principles
That are timeless
As opposed to just giving you
The winning lottery ticket numbers from yesterday
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
First, become a king
And then, become a philosopher
Not first become a philosopher
And then become a king
