Blurr says you are either born great or you're destined for failure
"You have to be good, and you are either born with it or not. There is this test called the IT Task where an image flashes up on the screen and it either has a really long left tail or a really long right tail and you have to identify which tail is longer in milliseconds and it just keeps flashing quicker and quicker and they've shown your ability to do that correlates with basically everything"
"So much of success is just your underlying clock speed and there is just no changing that"
Threadguy: "Do you think if you're good you are guaranteed to make it?"
Blur: "No, you just have a higher chance to make it. But the flipside of that is if you aren't good it's much harder to make it"
"I always say you are only as good as the weakest of these skills which are math, economics, risk appetite, sociology and psychology. Basically you can be cracked at everything but if you have no risk appetite then you're f*cked"

Sidelinooors didn’t buy the bottom because it seemed too risky, then didn’t buy the trend because it seemed too risky to be the top. Sidelinooors didn’t buy the breakout because it could be a fakeout, too risky. Then didn’t buy the retest because it could be a breakdown, too risky.
Sidelinooors treat risk as a bug to be fixed rather than the price of admission. Sidelinoors keep adding complexity trying to get the return without the pain, and they end up shifting the risk somewhere they can't see it until it blows up.
Sidelinooors don’t understand that trading is the monetization of risk. The practice of systematically acquiring exposure to risk that the market compensates, while identifying and shedding the risk it does not. Profit lives entirely in how honestly and rigorously you draw that line.
Sidelined?

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
