In recent years, several friends around me have lost everything and gone into debt of tens of millions. The biggest lesson learned is summed up in two words: demystification.
Whether it's regarding the industry, institutions, project parties, authorities, big shots (including Cz, Trump, and Musk), various communities, high-profile influencers, or the 'ceiling' encountered in upward social interactions, I have completely changed my mindset.
Let me tell you, this world is just a huge amateur performance. In fact, these people are incredibly foolish. This world is supported by fantasies, allure, and illusions. Once you gain the ability to demystify, you'll realize that even the greatest leaders are just the drunk uncle at the village square who doesn't know who he is after a couple of drinks, boasting and rambling on.
