#415 How Elon Thinks

0:00My friend Eric Jorgensen has spent a few years and thousands and thousands of hours reading everything that Elon has written, reading everything that has written about Elon, watching every single interview that Elon has ever given.

0:14And then he compiled all of Elon's most useful ideas into the book that I'm holding in my hand, which is the book of Elon.

0:20The subtitles Elon's Most Useful Ideas in His Own Words.

0:24I'm going to read one line from Eric about the benefit that he experienced from doing this.

0:29And then from here on out, every other thing will be Elon in his own words.

0:34Eric writes, to me, Elon represents the idea that I am capable of more than I ever imagined.

0:40And so I'm just going to run through in chronological order all the notes and highlights I took from reading and rereading this book.

0:47The idea is I want this to feel as if Elon is speaking directly to you and I.

0:50So it starts out.

0:51Elon says, I don't mind if my legacy is accurate or inaccurate, as long as I die feeling I've done the right thing for the future of consciousness.

0:59Elon gives a lot of advice centered around making sure that you're living a useful life, building things that make other people's lives better is the way I think about this.
