“Beliefs Are Tools, Not Truths”
Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player
I'm Rufus Griscomb and this is the next big idea. Today, what if you could do what you thought was impossible? My Google Drive is a graveyard of unfinished projects. Aborted novels, abandoned business ideas, deferred dreams. Maybe your drive looks the same way, or your filing cabinet, the wood shop in your basement, wherever it is that your big ideas meet their quiet demise.
If you're anything like me, you give up because at some point in the process you come face to face with reality, with hard truths. You realize, who am I kidding? I'm not a novelist. No one would ever fund this. It's too late.
The thing is, these aren't hard truths. They aren't even truths at all. They are beliefs. A belief is defined as a conviction that is open to revision based on new evidence.
