This short transcript excerpt argues that metacognition—the ability to observe your own thinking—is the highest form of intelligence. The speaker says successful people reinvent themselves by unlearning and relearning, valuing the ability to contradict past beliefs and to reflect in the moment (pattern-interrupt) to rewrite mental pathways; this introspective skill is presented as more important than chasing quick money-making schemes like crypto or drop shipping.
Did you know the highest form of intelligence is actually a thing called metacognition, which is the ability for you to observe you thinking. The people that are most successful are the ones that are able to reinvent themselves and unlearn and relearn. Some people that have never contradicted themselves, I actually think they're not that smart, because in contradicting something you said five years ago, it shows me your intelligence to be able to revisit. But to get smart, you actually have to pattern interrupt in the moment and reflect. If you don't reflect, you don't actually actually rewrite the pathway. That will make you way more successful than you thinking you're going to make money in crypto or drop shipping. Because it all starts.
