00:00intelligence is rate of learning it's speed it's a measurement of speed so it
00:07means how many times do you need to be exposed to the same condition in order
00:11to change your behavior if I teach someone something that script and then
00:15on the first try they say DEF and someone else it takes five tries for
00:19them to say DEF they are not as intelligent as the first person here's
00:23why this is interesting every person who's listening to this right now has
00:27listened to a thousand fucking podcasts and they're in the exact same condition
00:31and yet they have not changed their behavior which means one they have not
00:34learned and two they are dumb which also means that if you can control your
00:39behavior you can also control how intelligent you are and so if you want to
00:42be a smart cookie then it means that you just decrease the amount of times that
00:47you do not change your behavior under the same conditions every time you watch or
00:51you consume a piece of content you read a book if you think what behavior I'm
00:55going am I going to change as a result of this if the answer is nothing you
00:58wasted your time and you pretended to be learning but you were really
01:02entertaining yourself
