for sure we are being semantic. Your greentext example, i would argue, is using him as a (justified) benchmark for what you need in order to also be in his profession. What would be unhealthy is "i need more muscles/training,ect than HIM in order to feel accomplished, when in fact you dont need more than him, you just need more than you currently have (ie, future state vs past state).
yea im not really good at wording it either, but having like a mentor or aspiring to be someone isnt the same as wanting to be better than them. It's like jealousy vs respect almost.
Tfw no pervasive, simple life philosophy to tell me how to optimise financial success, intellectual growth, fun...

>Do I need to cultivate autism and the ability to work on one thing for hours on end?
Might sound funny but this is actually the correct way to success OP.

I read that, even though I rarely read books like that. And I read his website and see him as someone who is doing hard work, even though I am no judge of CS.
But on his website he talks about making himself a schedule, which I find horrific. Also he considers a long work session to be 2 hours, and 1 hour as acceptable. I'm not much different, but he hasn't cultivated super autism.

Cal is insightful but he's actually a normie. He believes in work-life balance, got himself a wife and child. If you cultivate weapons grade autism you can beat even someone like him with your deep work sessions.

>you can beat him
How? It sounds like he already won the game.

I think his insight is seeing almost everything for the BS it is and ignoring it.
This is why erudition always looks like bs to me. Intellectuals and everything about them is phoney nonsense. I don't give a shit about Zimbabwe waste disposal innovations. I'm not "curious" or a voracious reader
