In this 2015 interview, the host — a Tsinghua University professor — expressed genuine curiosity about how Elon Musk was able to found SpaceX without prior experience and knowledge in aerospace, especially given that rocket science is one of the most demanding hard sciences — and that Musk was serving as both CEO and CTO.
Musk explained that deep expertise can be built outside formal academic programs — by reading extensively, conducting experiments, and speaking directly with experts in the field.

The invisible Glass experiment
Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium.
On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely.
When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack.
Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back.
Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way.
The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank.
After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth.
But the pike never tried to eat them again.
Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there.
A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome.
It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

🚨 Reagan’s Secretary of Energy John Herrington reportedly cried everyday after being briefed about UFOs, per Hollywood director who spoke with him
“I had to be briefed and I lived in an underground facility in West Virginia for months and every night after they would brief me I would cry myself to sleep.
This is not the world I thought I brought my daughters into. Aliens are real, they are here, and I’ve seen them.”

"I'm not a creative person."
No, you are, everyone is, but your mind is just clogged by all of the podcasts and social media you ram into it without properly digesting it. You're conditioned to believe you can only take a certain path in life, and you don't daydream or entertain stupid ideas that could set you on an entirely new trajectory. You're so obsessed with being productive and efficient that you feel like you're always falling behind, and that stress prevents you from thinking outside the box.
You need to slow the fuck down, allow yourself to be bored (actually bored, not so overstimulated that you find enjoyable things boring), and pursue a life that you design, not one that was assigned to you.

Listen Hapsi Delhi is just a set of coordinates on my trading terminal while my influence is global. If you are feeling triggered by facts that is a personal problem you should discuss with your parents not me. Some of us scale businesses while others just scale their insecurity. Focus up or stay behind.

Julian Rotter ran a study in 1960s that accidentally explained why most people never build a life they actually chose.
He called it locus of control.
People with an external locus believe their outcomes are governed by forces outside themselves: luck, authority, circumstance, other people’s decisions. People with an internal locus believe their actions are the primary driver of what happens to them.
Decades of follow-up research produced a finding so consistent it borders on uncomfortable. Internal locus of control is one of the strongest predictors of income, health, relationship satisfaction, and psychological wellbeing ever measured across cultures.
The school system, almost by design, trains external locus into children from the earliest age. You don’t choose what to learn. You don’t choose when to learn it. You don’t choose how to demonstrate understanding.
Someone else sets the standards, grades your performance, and tells you whether you were adequate. Do this for sixteen years straight and you don’t just learn math and literature. You learn, at a neurological level, that external authorities define what counts as success and whether you’ve achieved it.
Psychologists call the long term result of this “learned helplessness,” a term Martin Seligman developed after watching dogs stop trying to escape electric shocks even when escape became possible. The shocks had been uncontrollable for long enough that the animals stopped registering their own agency as a real variable. The cage door opened and they stayed inside because their nervous system had stopped believing that moving would change anything.
The overlap between Seligman’s dogs and adults who cannot imagine building income outside a employer’s permission structure is not metaphorical. It is mechanistic. The brain that was never allowed to direct its own learning, never allowed to fail on its own terms and recover, never rewarded for autonomous decision making, genuinely loses resolution on its own capacity for self direction. The capability atrophies the way a muscle does when it goes unused.
Reclaiming internal locus of control as an adult is rehabilitation work. And the research shows it compounds exactly the way the damage did, slowly, then faster than you expected.

The single most important thing you can do in today's world is to stop operating from the old paradigm. If you need to be told what to do next (go to school, get a job, retire at 65) the outcome of your life will always be in someone else's hands. You must learn how to direct your own work. You must learn how to tolerate and mitigate risk and uncertainty. You must figure out what you want and teach yourself everything necessary to get it. It's extremely difficult, but not as difficult as the silent suffering people learn to accept as "normal."
