Knowledge, even information, cannot be 'transmitted' through communication. Experience and understanding are institutions in their own right. Communication, as many scientists from Aristotle to Chomsky have articulated, is really quite a small thing next to understanding and experience. Those things are not conveyed through communication, they happen in your life.

Communication at best can act like a road map you give other people, but to understand what you've communicated they will have to do some sort of travelling, some sort of journey or process. Understanding will emerge as a result of experience. Layers of illusion or obfuscation will fall away, as the puzzled mind seeks a way forward to comprehension.

Like a thief, I see them, come in the night, to steal our rights.

Whenever I empathise with the other humans, and whenever I, as a result, become ashamed at the idea that such a simple and almost thoughtless and certainly slavery-free process could yield so much profit, I always, every time, fall back, return to much more laborious and slow ways to move forwards and for months, sometimes years, vanish into your failure, readers.

So I'm making a note, this time, to accept that the path to immense fortune really is as easy as I have now made it for myself and that's a thing to be seized of if not actually proud - certainly resistant to losing faith and feeling the shame the enslaved classes require as a universal protocol.

An expert, Nils Bohr suggested, is someone who has made every mistake possible in a particular field or niche or discipline or thing.

More interesting is this question: what is your "last mistake"? No, I do not mean that in the western melodrama way. I mean what is the mistake which is the last one you make before you're completely on the correct path? It's usually a variation of this one: you have a trading method which has very good anti-risk but is quite slow, in terms of the number of days you have to trade to yield a profit, and its stop is small but not absolutely on the brink of nothing, it's still medium sized. And you have just figured out that the most powerful way you can muster for trading involves extremely small stops indeed, and this outperforms all the best things you've made, by miles.

And then an excellent trigger arrives on that good anti-risk but slow method I mentioned and you do it anyway, and it takes an excruciatingly long time to lose that trade, reminding you how much sweeter life is when you just do the trade you know is best, and leave second best for whoever is second best.
