I think he was doing a bit of exploration in terms of strategy for how he would proceed with his life. One of the questions that he was trying to answer, I would estimate, is whether it is advantageous to "dump oneself down" Jay-z talks about it in his song moment of clarity. "I dumb down for my audience And double my dollars" So, I don't think it's about being smart rather than trying something new and seeing first hand the result. And of course, writing about the experience so we can all learn from it[that's if it is in fact true].
