why do humans need to sleep and reset? why u go on vacas? like PID controller you need modulate behavior otherwise the stimulus will haywire.

In other words being really positive delusioanl can lead to great success but i owuld guess its not very adapative for average guy and they suffer for it

irrational self-confidence is a 180 way to achieve success, whether in business or with girls or whatever

i think the average case for those guys is huge failure. even when it is adaptive like in the jews with bipolar type i it leads to tons of money / suicides. but sometimes it works out to great aplomb

hmm not sure about that. maybe among lower classes yea. but there's a lot of very bright but weak middle-to-upper middle class guys who are low confidence / high negativity and would greatly benefit from some irrational self-confidence.

necessary but not sufficient condition.

every person who struck it big had to go against the grain and not listen to the naysayers hundreds of times. 99% these people are retards and conventional wisdom is right. 1% of the time they're elon/trump types.
