[00:00:00]Self-deception is the greatest barrier to true intelligence. Zeno, the founder of Stoicism, taught, "Nothing is more hostile to knowledge than self-deception." Think of a computer programmer. When the code fails, he doesn't cry. He doesn't blame the keyboard. He debugs. He looks for the logic error. You're lying to yourself.

[00:00:20]You say you don't have time, but the screen time report says otherwise. You say you want wealth, but your habits say you want comfort.

[00:00:28]Debug your life. Find the lies and delete them. The truth doesn't care about your feelings.

[00:00:34]Chapter 9.
