Be Yourself

• Don’t aim to be the best. Aim to be the only.

See opening of Kevin Kelly on Rich Roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKba_awaAkk

Don’t aim to be the best. Be the only.

Or Be the most improbably person possible.

Think: Probable as in Infinite Improbability Drive from HHG (https://www.hhgproject.org/entries/infiniteimprobabilitydrive.html)

Ask: Do you have infinite drive? Pun

Coop: Murphy’s law doesn’t mean something bad will happen. What it means is whatever can happen will happen.”

Prof Brand: Let’s run it through some new fields.

Murph: With respect professor, we’ve tried hundreds of times.

Prof Brand: It only has to work once, Murph.

That’s entropy. It’s harder to imagine the one or two ways things do work, the way things work are much more improbable than the way things break. That’s, again, that’s the rule of entropy. That’s the second law of thermodynamics that’s never been broken, which is that the ways the, the ways in which things cannot work and degrade are far, far faster than the few ways that it can work. Because things at work are more improbable. And part of what we wanna be is we wanna be improbable beings. Another way we could say like, don’t be the best, be the only is be the most improbable person possible.

Think of being the most improbable person to have ever walked on this Earth.
