The video he posted is particularly germane to HN. Here we get dozens of posts a day telling us how we should do things. Mainly, I'm convinced, by people who haven't done things themselves. Cultivating taste would help a lot of people here. But even if they have done things, having done something doesn't necessarily give you knowledge to pass on to others. Ask any guy who's really really good with women how he does it. The answer will probably be "just be yourself" (Unless the answer is "Ferrari".) Point being, you may not know what you know. Even if you're successful you may not know what has made you successful. So "just shut up and do it" isn't horrible advice.
