“Science progresses one funeral at a time,” pointed out Max Planck. One way of looking at science is formalised trial and error. Bold statements followed by rigorous testing. Knowledge progresses not by confirming what we thought we knew, but by finding out ways we were wrong. Through surprising results. Death of an idea becomes a feature rather than something to overcome. Our bodies largely replace themselves every 7-10 years. We quite literally, are what we eat. The way we interpret the world depends on what we know, and that changes as we learn. We are what we think. But even these “are”s are temporary. If we eat tomorrow. If we think tomorrow. The reason I think of Finance in Yogic terms is money is not about you. You are something deeper. You cannot base your identity on temporary things. Money is about problem solving, and if you are genuinely interested in actually solving the problem rather than making yourself irreplaceable… then you don’t want to define yourself by your job. You are not your job.
