This attitude is why healthcare in America is both really expensive and sometimes not very good. A preventative MRI, something my friends and I do every 2-3 years, absolutely exists and has tremendous value. It is the best form of schmuck insurance: 99.9% of the time it finds

If you’d like to get rich or stay rich, I’d encourage you to develop the ability to change your mind. Most ideas are shitty. So staying fixated on shitty ideas creates an anchoring bias that will weigh you down to the mediocrity of the masses. Learn to change your mind and
