I really agree with this view: if a person can’t make sense of their own inner structure and thinking logic, then no matter how smart they are, they’re still just a tool.
Intelligence only solves the question of how. Once you understand your inner structure and thinking logic, you know the why — the source of motivation for doing something.
That’s also why I’ve kept turning inward from time to time over the past few years, and why I recently discussed inner issues with Gemini and used Dan Koe’s prompt set.
