I'm mostly a retard, but my genius in sales & negotiating has allowed me a life beyond my wildest dreams.
quotingFair point.

What if webs of trust are needed for geniuses too?
In my 20s my hubris/intelligence allowed me to succeed until I hit a wall of success I didn't have the humility for. Then I crashed out.
In my 30s my economic success in fiat land hit levels I thought I'd never see after hitting the wall in my 20s. Most of this leveling up was due to new relationships I formed and becoming a Dad (also the decade I went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole) while continuing to read and learn as much as my curiosity allowed.
In my 40s I've tried to lean into the idea of maximizing what I'm great at and finding others who are great at my weaknesses to lean on.
It's hard to be humble enough to know my intelligence allows me to excel in certain realms, and that I'm mostly retarded in many other areas compared to the geniuses that excel in that realm. The Bitcoin and Nostr community has opened my eyes to so many new ideas and ways to looking at things.
