As we leave the perfection of childhood, the hypnosis and the brainwashing begins. Our well-intentioned parents say, oh, you want to be an astronaut? You want to start a business when you grow up? You want to paint like Jean-Michel Basquiat? Be reasonable. And George Bernard Shaw said it better than I ever could. He said, the reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. So that's our nature, but our parents give us limitation based on their limited psychology and their emotional patterns that they learn from their parents. Then we go to school and we're taught to live in a box, think in a box, dress like everyone else. Don't sing too loudly. Don't dream too big. Don't be too passionate. And then our peers do the same thing to us. And then society says, oh, Genius is the realm of genetics, not everyday people, which has been dismissed by some very good science. I mean, the 10,000 hour rule that we all know from a Florida State University professor, Anders Eriksson, it just confirms so much. So I think what's happened is as we've left who we truly are, we've contracted. And now it's all about staying safe in the world versus going out there and letting our brilliant, our primal genius shine.
