We know NOTHING!!!- Feb 2025 (#56)

Salutations dear reader! Your dude Brent had a wild experience this week. One of those experiences that makes you realize how little you really know about anything…

Motivation

The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.

Last week me and some of my more adventurous buddies decided to try something, one guy set up one of those yoga breathwork type sessions for us with a teacher and the whole works. I’d never done anything like it, but I figured it would be a fun, albeit unusual, experience whatever happened.

I expected it to be this relaxing, calm, soothing experience and it was ANYTHING BUT!!! The teacher had us breathing hard for something like 30-45 minutes and it felt like A LOT of work. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to stick it out the entire time it was so much work! It was not calm and relaxed at all. Bizarrely I felt CRAZY energized. My entire body felt like it was vibrating! My mind was incredibly clear and lucid. My body felt so strange it actually kinda scared me. Some felt completely overheated and had their joints lock up, other’s spontaneously wept! (don’t ask me, I’ll never tell who!) IT WAS WILD!!!

Here’s the thing, I’ve been breathing my whole life and never knew just simply breathing hard could have such results! Breath work has been around FOREVER, like thousands of years. Yet I, who’s traveled a decent bit and tried other things (that I thought were similar) like yoga and meditation had NO FRIGGEN CLUE!!!

Here’s my point… WHAT ELSE DO I NOT KNOW!?!?

In Montana I had a more mundane experience with good ol’ macaroni and cheese. The company I was at served us what looked like some fancy mac and cheese for lunch. Not usually liking the fancier mac and cheese, and being more of a Kraft mac and cheese kind of guy myself I tried it, seeing no other options. To my surprise it was by far the BEST mac and cheese I’ve ever had, by like a factor of 10. It had bacon bits, barbecue sauce, and the creamiest cheese sauce I’d ever experienced. Who knew common mac and cheese could be so elevated!? Not me and my pedestrian self!

My point with all this is, I think it’s easy to think we know SO MUCH. However in reality, when measured against all the things we could actually know, we know VERY LITTLE. How does this apply to money? Simple. When we invest being very cognizant of the unknowns we will absolutely be better investors. In my experience the biggest killer of returns is OVERCONFIDENCE. When we are so sure we know what is going to happen or what all the factors are out there that could influence our investment. The truth is we don’t, so plan accordingly. The reality is, we know (almost) nothing!
