079 The War Against Nature
Nature (eventually) weeds out bad ideas.
It doesn’t matter whom the idea comes from.
You can get away imposing your authority to use a bad idea instead of listening to someone “inferior” who has a better idea…
But ultimately, your ego just wins the battle, not the war.
The war is not against your petty rival holding a better or worse idea than you. But against nature.
When you disassociate ideas from people and your ideas from yourself, and take the critical approach to any and all kinds of ideas, you can win the war against nature.
