Dean Graziosi and a co-speaker argue that optimism about the future fuels hunger and drive, while pessimism kills momentum. They point to the AI rabbit hole as a specific demotivating force that makes people believe their kids will be worse off.
The only way to find hunger is you have to be brave enough to be optimistic enough to go. Innovation will solve that. The human condition will solve that. Things are going to be better. My kids are going to be better off. I can be better off. I can do my own thing. I can scale my own thing. Like, if we have a compelling future, don't we get hungry?
Yes.
But if you thought, no matter what you do for the next 10 years, your kids are going to be worse off than you are, would that. Wouldn't that deflate who you are today?
It pauses every second. Single thing. I. I'm sure you've been down this rabbit hole. As I have recently gone through is the AI Rabbit hole.
Yeah. That could kill you.
It stops every bit of momentum. I go down this rabbit hole where everything is being told to me that, avoid, avoid. Rocks are coming, avoid. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And then I go a whole week where I don't accomplish anything. I'm like, what kind of freaking life am I living right now? And it's from outside. Influences, influences. Then I find a lighthouse, like you or other mentors of mine, and I go, okay, that's the direction I'm headed.
