The ultimate lesson is that very few people, even those who seem wildly successful have any idea what they are doing.
This is why narcissist and people who are overconfident to the point of absurdity often excel and business at life. No body else has any idea what they are doing, their competitors mostly have no idea what they are doing, and they are willing to project that they know what they are doing unconditionally which is attractive to many people.
So people follow them.
- gbjw 7y agoThis is basically the take-away of much of modern philosophical thought (absurdism/existentialism). Existence precedes essence... we are thrust into the world with no 'idea' of what's meaningful or important. People gravitate to those who have well-defined vision since working towards something (even if that thing is ultimately flawed in some way) feels better than idly spinning your wheels waiting to die.
