Highly intelligent outlier men often have an underdeveloped Anima which, if unlocked, will revolutionise their genius into something near incomprehensible. Outlier cognition is not merely a gift, but a symptom of psychic survival. More often than not, these men have had traumatic, asymmetrical, or neglectful relationships with their mother - causing severe psychic wounding to their nervous system regulation and a tectonic fracture in their connection with the Anima - the feminine dimension of the psyche, the bridge to unconscious wisdom - the place between intellect and instinct, between ego and soul, between who they had to be and who they truly are. This stunts emotional undercurrents, resulting in near-total suppression of intuition, for emotion is the conduit through which intuition flows - and intuition is a felt-sense, anchored in subconscious somatic gut–brain axis intelligence.

Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn’t lose the game in the short or medium term. If you had so much leverage that you could take the big swing. Many things make more sense when you look at them through the lens of inevitability and work backwards. No one believes in inevitability, of course. But if you did, you might act differently.
