Smartness Hampers Your Chances of Getting Rich?

Getting rich doesn't always require risk, but truly a great lot of times it does, because one of the major ways to get ruch is to invest and investment is usually risky. Embarking on ventures are usually risky too.

But..

If a person is really smart doesn't that mean they would know that some blindness to the risk is what is required to endeavor?

Blindness to risk shouldn't only come from stupidity/low IQ, blindness should be deliberate if you're really smart.

So this person is clearly not really smart, that is why even after making this explanation in the screenshot above they still did not see the irony 🤣.

But then..

I understand what they mean, although the smartness they're talking about is the average smartness. The average smartness gives you only enough smartness to suffer from the diseases of the smart.

It makes you see so clearly all the ways your ideas can go wrong that you forget that success can still come even when the odds are stacked against it.

Your smartness mostly makes you take the most likely side, but the unlikely happens a lot and when they happen you wouldn't be there to resp the benefits because you're so good at picking the most likely outcomes, and the most likely outcomes are usually the easiest outcomes, and the easiest outcomes are usually not as profitable as the difficult ones.

It's very simple, in betting for example all the most unlikely outcomes have the biggest odds.

If you know what would happen in crypto tomorrow, the more unlikely it is the more money you'll make.

5-10% upward or downward move in crypto sounds more likely so you can make 5-10% profit, but a 40-50% move is very unlikely which means way more profits, you see?

When one wants to invest the more unlikely success seems the more they would be averse. The average smartness always tell you to go for the most likely. But the top tier smartness is supposed to be able to know when to turn a blind eye and not leave being able to turn a blind eye to only those armed with stupidity.

It is more difficult to willfully turn a blind eye, so the fools have an edge, but superior smartness should know what needs go be done and that difficulty in doing it shouldn't be an issue.
