Depressing thought. For at least 20 years I’ve been consciously solving for being more lucky, and it’s worked much better than I expected. But in the process I’ve kinda gotten used to being lucky, and that has made me stupider.
I was much smarter when I was average-lucky.

Please. You’re much smarter than the vast majority of your audience. This is like groveling loudly when you make a bogey on a par 4. Keep on keepin on.

I don’t really compare myself to my audience. That’s not particularly meaningful to do. I mostly compare myself to people who scoop me on insights I’ve been digging for. They get there faster long term because they don’t rely on luck as much as I do.

Have those people been more hedgehog (focused) than you? Or I use the wrong model to frame my question?
