Transcend

Spoken AI audio from book "Half General, Half Soldier"

Our maneuver against the chains of ignorance, our strategy against the confinements of the inexperienced. The uncultured.

The General must lead the pursuit of experiential wisdom. Breaking the barriers between individuals and worlds by going out and listening to the world.

It’s a quest to break the shackles of comfort zones, dive into the unknown, and converse with the unmet. Command the interactions that will lead to untapped knowledge. Make every conversation a key, every experience a revelation.

For those who require a simple translation: Meet real fucking people; go outside and talk to people, anyone; stop staying inside; only stay inside when you are planning; action happens on the battlefield, and only change your plan when conditions change.

You can only gain knowledge through experience.
