The game

The fundamental difference between people is not wealth but purpose. To find purpose in life requires leaving aside most of the petty fears, worries, and desires. It is easy to say but so hard to do. What keeps most of us stuck in this mesh of social norms, financial intricacies, cultural and racial biases? Lack of courage or lack of perspective? We think in terms of absolutes, and we fail to see gains that are not immediately obvious. There is nothing wrong with making a profit as long as you add value. The problem is the pursuit of profit for the sake of power. I admire Elon for his relentless determination to push innovations that are considered impossible. The missions he tackles are as audacious as something out of a science fiction book. Take Neuralink, for example. If it does not fail, the change humanity will undergo will be tremendous. It will consist of a multiplication of communication and our collective intelligence. These are the kinds of innovations where it's hard to predict the outcomes. It is not about being the richest man on the planet, but about helping humanity to level up.
