Would you play too or do you stay whole and appreciate your rarity?

In this video, Jocko does something I don't like.

I know the game, I can see it, but I hate it.

Having a presentable facade, you can do it, but playing the game is truly for psychopaths.

If you're a rare, genuine person, playing will make you lose your integrity, which was your true strength from the beginning, whereas a psychopath knows he doesn't have it, but he can succeed.

Real people need advice from other real people who don't gamble about where to stand in life: where to live, relationships, and their job.

Jocko, in my estimation is correct, even if what he says there isn't what anyone wants to hear, in this "authenticity" obsessed age we live in. Here's another way to think about all of this, @jhonny9546 :

The TV show Cagney & Lacey went out of it's way to "be real", while Charlie's Angels went out of it's way to be engaging. Cagney & Lacey was pretty much forgotten by time The 90s rolled around, while Charlie's Angels remains venerated to this day, even among those who were born decades after the series wrapped.

There is a man called Dry Creek on Youtube who gives great advice.
He's the authentic guy.



Will people forget about him? Possible.
But it's how he lived that matters.
The one that gave him the most meaning in life
