Many smart people get stuck in level 1 and by that they limit their own potential. They turn into the angry guy who's always right but nobody ever listens to them. They lose sight of level 2, thinking that the only important skill is to be smarter than others. Other smart people soon learn to ignore them, because at that level, everybody around you is smart, but some of them are assholes.

It's completely up to you what you become. It's your responsibility, nobody else's.

Tell us more about level 2, and how to achieve it

Is this your your own way of describing levels of thought or have you taken inspiration from someone?

So true. I have run into this over the past decade in a half. Gold/silver bugs, BTC bugs, survivalist/preppers, etc

Growth and maturation is the goal. Not being the smartest dickhead in the room, which I have been guilty of plenty of times

solid advice 👍

Excellent reminder 🙏
